Update: We are excited to announce that we are open for limited indoor dining! In addition to our heated outdoor tables, we are now offering indoor seating. At this time, all seating is on a first come, first served basis and we are not accepting reservations.

The health and safety of our guests and employees has always been our top priority, and in light of the current situation, we have added additional hygiene and sanitation protocols. Please remember to wear your masks at all times when not at your table. Thank you for continued loyalty and patronage.

Nola is a bit of New Orleans located in the historic Ramona Street Building in downtown Palo Alto. Our menu consists of Creole, Cajun, and Latin cuisine. New Orleans favorites, such as hurricanes, fresh oysters, gumbo, seafood jambalaya, and étouffée, are just a few of the classics you will find.

Welcome to the party--grab a Hurricane, a group of friends, wrap yourself in our mardi gras beads and “Laisser les Bon Temps Rouler!!”

    The whole experience was amazing. The food was delicious. The ambiance and outdoor seating was great but service was certainly not as expected. Our waiter was friendly but unfortunately we did not see him again after we placed the order with him. Thus no checkin about what we thought of the food or refreshing our drinks. Our oysters came out by the time we finished our meal which was unfortunate as they are best enjoyed as appetizers. We waited for around 30 minutes before finally going up and asking to be checked out

    Food was good as usual, although food timing was off... got oysters and crabamole to start, but entrees came out with oysters and crabamole didn’t show up at all.

    We hadn't been out to dinner since the pandemic and we had a great experience at NOLA. They followed all the protocols, the food was great, as well as the service and the Hurricanes are awesome!

    Dining during COVID requires one to try new things and NOLA has made it very enjoyable. The booth seating gives you enough privacy & security while still being out in the open.
