Last night before the restaurant closed. Debacle of the highest order. Every aspect of the dinner was a train wreck. Also my wife ended up in the ER from the food, so there’s that.

This is a FANTASTIC restaurant - great food, lovely management, and beyond cute. Inside, it's dim and beautiful - perfect for a business lunch or an evening date. There's also an event space in back for meetings, parties, and other events hosted by the owners (cooking classes, movie nights, etc.). Highly recommend.

We LOVED NOLA Bistro! Upon arrival there was a nice little note card welcoming us by name. The waitress was very knowledgable and friendly. The ambience is calming. Lovely music playing in the background. The menu has food choices from around the world. We ordered the Bhel Mumbai Street Food (India) for a starter and shared a Buffalo Sweat Beer which was excellent! My husband ordered the Chicken Yakitori (Japan) and I ordered the Eggplant (Middle East). Both dishes were amazing! Loved it so much we could easily come back and order the same dish. Except, we want to try all dishes! The dinner entrees also came with a fresh organic salad topped with a house dressing! FABULOUS! This will be our go to restaurant for special occasions.

We had been to this restaurant in the past, but for whatever reason, this past weekend, it was the worst service ever. Our reservations was at 5:45. We had a 7:30pm theatre show near by. We sat down and ordered our drinks. We received those drinks at 6:20pm. We put in our dinner order shortly there after, and received that at 7:10pm. Just in time for us to ask for a box, as we had to leave and get to the show--which we had told them up front. They thought we had ordered more drinks and came to us with another round, yet we hadn't, so they took them back. They never once apologized, nor took anything off the bill to compensate. All of us had to bring all of our food into a box and rush off to the show. Clearly they knew there was an issue, as the owners finally began waiting on our table, and we never saw our waitress again. (maybe she walked out?)

Great experience, know before you go that it’s meant to be a non-rush relaxing dining experience...don’t expect to get in and out of there quickly...just what me and my wife were looking for on our date night...loved it!

It’s rare to find a restaurant that adds so much to the community and takes such pride and personal interest in your experience. The food is fresh, local, and subtle. The atmosphere and mission of the restaurant makes dining there a beautiful experience. Service was slow but the workers are sincere and lovely hosts, and the environment is design for a slow, enjoyable experience. Can’t wait to go back.

The items and variety on the menu were excellent. Our biggest issue was the amount of time it took to get our salads, and then our main course. It was not as if we were in a big hurry, but 15 to 20 minutes to get the salad course seemed too long. The main courses then came out somewhat staged, with 2-3 minutes between each order. The server them did try to Carmen said by bringing an extra glass of wine, which turned out to be from a bottle that had been opened too long. The restaurant was not that busy, so it is difficult to understand why the service took so long.
