One of my absolute top spots on the island. From the warm, impeccable service (special shoutout to Chris), to the well‑stocked bar and spot‑on cocktails, to—most importantly—the magic coming out of Chef Richard’s kitchen, everything is a 10/10. Portions are generous, every dish hits exactly how you want it to, and I genuinely dream about the shrimp and grits. No notes.
Reviews / Ratings for Bistro Nolah
*********Be warned. Went on Sunday for lunch, they only have brunch offered. No where on the website do I see it stating this. Went for food on their menu and was stuck with brunch/breakfast. Not impressed. Thank you for the response. But when I see a restaurant that is open from 10am to 14pm on a website, I would consider going at 12pm being lunch. So if you were to update your website to specifically say there is only brunch, there wouldn't be any mistakes.
Great food. Great service.
"Nolah is a total showstopper! The interior is absolutely beautiful—elegant enough for a special occasion but with a warmth that makes you feel right at home. We started with the Sausage Gumbo, and the rich, dark roux was perfectly authentic. If you’re a fan of Shrimp and Grits, their Charleston-style version is a must-try; the mascarpone-infused grits are incredibly creamy. Masha loved her ribs, and my Buttermilk Fried Chicken had the perfect balance of tenderness and a heavy-duty crunch. We finished with the Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce (an absolute essential) and some airy, powdered sugar-dusted Beignets. It was easily one of the best Creole meals we’ve had. Highly recommended!"
This restaurant is fantastic. Highly recommend. Beef ribs are to die for. Brisket was delicious.
The shrimps & grits is their specialty for a reason ! amazing!!! Their hush puppies were really good also. I highly recommend
Delicious food, great service.
The best experience I have had at a restaurant in a long while. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly, the food was incredible!! Hats off to Bistro Nolah !! Will definitely be back !
1st time experience with my girlfriend and her husband. Was recommended by a co-worker and drove from the east end to try this spot. WOW!!! EVERYTHING was on point! The blackened catfish, the fried chicken and the Creole shrimp plates were extraordinary. The grits are so good, creamy and rich with a mascarpone cheese. I'm a critique when it comes to taste and quality. All 3 of us were in AWE. Aw wonderful experience for the taste buds. We shared the bread pudding with the bourbon sauce. OMG We will definitely be back for the terrasse in the summer 😊 No photos for food. We simply enjoyed the culinary experience !!
No complaints, we enjoyed everything we ordered! The server was very attentive and helped us with our order by recommending which dishes to take and stopped us from ordering too much! The cocktail I ordered was good (but forgot what it was called). Id definitely come back for a date night, or a girls night out here! It was such a nice and intimate place, not too loud and i loved that they also have weekly specials!
10 Star delicious never disappoint kind of restaurant! Must try! Delicious!!
Simply delicious! From the entrées, to the mains, and finishing with the desserts you simply can't go wrong. If I were to criticize anything it would be their chocolate torte (-0.5 star), not very chocolatey (sadly a complete letdown) when compared to the Mississippi mud cake which was devine! Chris, our waiter was excellent! I wanted to go back and called to make a reservation and was informed that they only do reservations online and it requires a credit card to do so. (-0.5 star) 2025-05-02 Went back and had another good meal. Chris was again our waiter and was great! Even my children enjoyed the food! The staff are friendly. The only complaint with our meal would have been the fried chicken. It was super juicy, but not crispy at all. Update Went for another meal and it sadly did not live up to previous visits. Not sure we'll be going back.
