Great meal! Our server Thomas was great and the table we had was in a corner away from pedestrian traffic as requested.

Nola Restaurant has been a highly anticipated dining spot, with some finding it to be overrated and overpriced while others were pleasantly surprised by the unique atmosphere and delicious dishes. The restaurant has a beautiful layout and fun design, but some reviews mention indifferent staff and subpar service. While some felt that the food and cocktails were not worth the high prices, others raved about the southern comfort food offerings like gumbo and po boys. Despite varying opinions, most reviewers agree that Nola has a wonderful atmosphere and good food, making it a worthwhile dining destination in Palo Alto.
