Nola's on a Saturday night

During a recent visit to NOLA
on a warm muggy night, it was reminiscent of dining in New Orleans. The restaurant and its "outside" courtyard were bustling with activity.

Balcony tiered seating at Nola's Restaurant in Palo Alto, CA

Seating is on two levels, in various dining areas. Noise levels can be quite loud, so don't come here for a quiet, intimate dinner.

Food
Enjoy fabulous Creole, Cajun, and Southwestern cuisine. Nola's offers a variety of New Orleans favorites, including Seafood Jambalaya, tasty Gumbo, Fresh Oysters, Etouffée and more — everything is good!

We highly recommend the Napa Cabbage Salad, Crispy Dungeness Crab Coins and its to-die-for dipping sauce, hot Voodoo Chili, Bubba's BBQ Shrimp, Tony's Grilled Teriyaki Marinated Skirt Steak, Grilled Salmon and the Ahi Tuna.

Dessert junkies will love the
Warm Macadamia Nut Brownie
— a delicious way to end your meal.
