Top Tags:

NOLA Caye combines New Orleans’ charm, culture and its genuine sense of hospitality with bold, fresh Caribbean flavors. The word "CAYE" eludes to a small island giving the restaurant's name a literal translation of "New Orleans Island" or "Isle of New Orleans."

Our menu offers Crispy Shrimp Tacos, Tuna Ceviche, Chicken Tortilla Soup, Cuban Sandwich, Ginger Salmon, Jamaican Jerk Fish and a Strip Steak with chimichurri sauce.

Save room for dessert so you don’t miss out on our Banana Crème Pie, Oreo Ice Cream Sandwich, Key Lime Pie or Tres Leches.

Our signature cocktails include “Climate Change” a hibiscus infused margarita with a fiery three-chili ice ball providing the catch phrase: “the longer you wait….the hotter it gets” Also try our “Bloody Jerk” which contains our house-made Bloody Mary mix. We dare say it’s the best version of a Bloody Mary New Orleans has to offer.

We look forward to serving you!

This place has always been my go-to...unfortunately, I was disappointed because I always ordered the Jamaican Jerk fish dinner. However, they changed the fish from sea bass to ( I forgot the name of the fish), and it was thick and dry. I was not satisfied. Please bring back the sea bass! The manager and hostes were very nice and changed my meal, but my pallets were awaiting my fish.

I love that you all hosted the Southern & Grambling Game when most establishments close for Black events. The bar tender actually tuned us into the game to watch! Tons of tips coming your way!!!!

Overall was good, food was pretty good but they brought the worst Bloody Mary ever, watery and without flavor. Wouldn’t exchange it or offered a substitution, which is unheard of here in NO (we are locals). Why would you compromise a good tip, or even the possibility of going back to your restaurant because of a really really really bad drink? Bartender was obviously not on point, and that compromised a good experience or return business… shame

Nice layout designed well , food was not tasty . I had filet with cheddar, grits, and eggs, and my husband had shrimp with grits. Also I expresso double shot and it was very cold. Also, my husband grits was cold.. the waiter kept forgetting whatever we asked for I needed a straw. I asked him for it and he forgot to bring it. Also we had to ask for silverware, but at the same time the waiter was real nice is very loud. Should I say noisy it’s a nice restaurant with real good potential.

Everything was over cooked. The fish was dry, the oyster and shrimp tacos were fried way too heard and we couldn’t find a shrimp in the breading to save our lives. The service was AMAZING and we loved the ambience.

ALL the food is amazing here! We took full advantage of the happy hour menu and sampled the conch & crab fritters, guacamole, and crispy chicken wings. From the dinner menu we also had the ribs and salmon--both were delightful! Chris, our waiter, was attentive, professional, friendly, and fun. Because we ate early, it was quiet and unhurried.

Hostess did not greet need to do a better job. Gratuity was an added to a bill for a party of two when on the receipt it clearly says gratuity added to a party of five are more, so I’m not sure what was up with that. The waiter was nice.

Food and service was great, however I’m not happy with the change of the mimosa glasses , they are too small and was spilling everywhere. Even as the waiter carried them to tables the champagne was spilling out of them .

I believe the young lady who served us name was Salina. She was very courteous she made sure our bottomless mimosas stayed full and we were happy with our overall experience. I definitely have enjoyed Nola Caye in the past but something about her service moves NC back on my top choices for brunch!

The food was among the most disappointing of the New Orleans restaurants I have eaten at. I did not eat more than a few bites of my food. This was my 3rd time there- the first was when it newly opened (I thought the subpar food might be related to that.) My 2nd time was for brunch- which was somewhat better- so I returned hoping the dinner menu might improve. It was horrible. The prices are incredibly high as well- save that money for a quality new Orleans meal.

Love Nola Caye but this particular time was very uncomfortable as the air was broken. The more crowded it got the more unbearable it became.
