Our second visit to NOLA was a long time after our first. We last came here when NOLA first opened. What impressed us most the first time, the quality of the service and the food, impressed us once again. I had jambalaya (again) and my wife had the blackened redfish. We both loved our meals, even though we took home a lot of them. Anton, our server was very attentive and evened offered to hold our left-overs until after the show we were attending. We asked to be seated in the back, away from the bar and were taken to an attractively decorated room off to the side and well away from the noise of the bar. From my seat, I even had a bit of a view into the workings of the kitchen. We remarked that the noise level was actually lower than what we usually experience in other restaurants. We had recommended NOLA to several friends, and the feedback we got from them wasn't positive. Some complained about the service and everyone complained about the noise level. Our seating in the back would explain the difference in the noise level, but regarding the difference of opinion as to the service, that I can't explain. All I know is that on both visits, service was superb. We'll try not to wait so long for our next visit!
