   What can i say, just perfect, food was amazing we had 4 dishes each (being piggies). Every dish was delicious. We then had dessert omg i had the bourbon bread pudding that was amazing my husband had the key lime pie his fave and it was the best he had ever had. We are couple who love fine dinning & trying new places. This is in our top 5. The waiter was so nice, friendly and helpful. Cocktails were spot on. Price was very good too. We loved the decor & ambience and will be back.

    I was stunned to find a New Orleans food-themed place in York, so I had to check it out for authenticity. First, the decor - Jazz Age speakeasy, looked fantastic. Second, the music - Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox played the entire meal - fantastic blend of old and new. Then there were the drinks - from a New Orleans Sazerac to a Hurricane, Chocotini, and more - all were great! Slightly different from US cocktails, but definitely had the spirit/idea of them (the sazerac in a martini glass was pretty weird, but tasted nice). And the food was great, just more than we could eat (the menu and staff make it sound like cajun/creole tapas, but the plates were definitely bigger, almost full main size). We tried the jambalaya, gumbo, salmon, dirty rice, rocket, and bread. The bread was spectacular. Jambalaya and gumbo were great efforts - different from how I make them in the states (I lived in NOLA a good while), but everyone has a different recipe even there. My son said the salmon was fantastic, the dirty rice was okay. Rocket is always fantastic. I'll definitely go again next time I'm in town. Give it a try - you'll be in for a treat!

    The food was absolutely delicious and the waiting staff couldn't have been nicer. Good vibes, great food, and the music was at the perfect level to feel like you couldn't be overheard but not having to yell to have a conversation.

    From walking through the door, we were greeted by very friendly, professional staff. This was continued throughout our time at Nola's. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and the superb dishes, especially the monk fish cheeks. Many thanks to all at Nola's..

    I booked a reservation at Nola quite late, and was told that we would be seated upstairs (away from the jazz band). Luckily when we arrived we were actually able to sit downstairs and it was fantastic! The staff were brilliant and super friendly, the band not only played brilliantly but also seemed as if they were having fun - which just added to the great atmosphere. On top of that, the food was delicious and we were nicely surprised by the prices. I would highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you fancy getting dressed up and having a night with a twist. Although we were fortunate with our seating, I would recommend booking in advance to make sure you don't miss out.

    Nola is simply one of the best places to go if you visit York. We celebrated our daughter's graduation yesterday and ended with dinner at Nola, perfect. On arrival we were greeted and shown to the bar table for drinks. The ambience is lovely and decor stunning. The staff cannot do enough and are so friendly and helpful. We ate downstairs in the restaurant and the food was outstanding. Small plates but very substantial, only two needed per head with a side in my opinion, however we ordered a few more as I have eaten at Nola once before and wanted my family to try a few dishes. overall, excellent in every way.

    Booked for a family post graduation meal. The menu options where all lovely and I really struggled to narrow down to the 2 recommend dishes per person. Service was quick, staff delightful and food was delicious. It was a really good treat at the end of a lovely day. We will definitely be going back

    Great service and delicious food, whilst listening to great Jazz. Super night out. My wife and I had six small sharing plates which were all delicious; my advice is to order three and then order another two or three depending how you feel. Highly recommend the belly pork, tenderloin of beef and salmon.

    Venue is very pretty but that’s about all of the good, markets and presents itself as an upscale place with the small plates and high prices but fails to deliver on that. There was adequate staffing yet the staff seemed very rushed which really effected the atmosphere. The majority of the food was good but not great, it’s also a little concerning just how quickly it arrived after ordering, the speed and quality screams frozen. It’s a meal we were really looking forward to with many positive reviews. We, and the couple sat next to us. Will not be returning.

    We loved everything about this lovely place and it was perfect for our anniversary dinner. Gorgeous decor, nice ambience, friendly and attentive staff and delicious food. We will be back! Would just add that the menu recommends two mains and a side per person (as plates are slightly smaller) but we found this a bit much, so unless you're very hungry you might be better with one main and a couple of sides, depending on what you choose.

Couldn’t fault the work the put in. The venue it’s is amazing and have a great ambience. The food was eclectic but all very special. The cocktails as well were the best we had in the city.

    Great food, ambience and service. Only slight problem we experienced was the timing of the food to table. We ordered 3 dishes each (myself and my partner) one dish arrived as our “starters” and then 2 more each after those were cleared. On a small table for 2 the space was at a premium and my partners second dish was quite cold when she finally got around to starting it. Still tasted great but had gone cool. Maybe we should have requested some food to be held back to keep heated until requested? Overall though a great night out. Will be visiting again.
