The first time I went to New Orleans, I wanted to try an Emeril Lagasse
restaurant. Since I was staying in the French Quarter, it made
sense to try NOLA. So I did, and I've been back every time I
go to New Orleans. NOLA is actually named after the native nomenclature
for New Orleans, Louisiana. But forget about the name, the food's
the thing here. Whether it's Emeril's take on cajun
and creole cuisine, or just his own creations, you can't
go wrong with anything on the menu here. It just depends on what
you're in the mood for. I've tired of Emeril's schtick,
but the food at NOLA is consistently excellent.
<br>
The first time, I was seated at the bar near the wood-fired pizza
oven. While watching the chefs skillfully assemble and cook
pizzas, they made one for us without ordering one. Since we could
see every meal coming out of the kitchen, I changed my mind with
every passing plate. The last meal I saw before the server took
our order is what I ended up getting. Lunches cost half of dinner
entrees, so if you're cost conscious, go there for lunch
instead of dinner.

Ate at NOLA for lunch 3 times on a business trip.
Everything that I ate was fantastic. Had reservations the first two times. On the third, the hostess recognized that I'd dined there twice already that week. My companion and I were seated almost immediately with no reservation. The Roasted Garlic- Reggiano Bisque with Focaccia croutons was to die for! The filet mignon with fried oysters was divine. And the cashew brittle cheesecake with peach compote is the best dessert I've had in a long time. My only complaint is that the restaurant was
FREEZING on my second visit. Service was slow but attentive. They let us take our time. Every mouthful of food had a
different sensation! Don't miss NOLA.
