My boyfriend and I had a very pleasant experience on a Friday night at NOLA. I normally don't like loud dining venues, but in this case, I loved it! The live band was awesome...I was getting excited to hear what song they would play next. The food was also really good. I had the Brie and leek pasta because it isn't a very common dish to see served at restaurants, and although it was certainly a large enough portion, I found myself wanting more of it! I also ordered several drinks and appetizers and was very pleased with all of them. Our waiter was great, but I felt bad for him because he practically had to yell all night over the band to his customers. I would definitely go back for dinner again!
