Palo Alto is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Palo Alto follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building.

Surprised how good it was. All the food was not only satisfying, but felt like it had some extra goodness. The cajun fried rice, gumbo and grilled asparagus were top notch. Burger was solid too.

The food and service was lackluster. We were greeted greatly and got sat upstairs which this place had a great atmosphere. After our appetizer came in the rest was downhill. The jambalaya was not as good as other places and we had order 1lb crawfish platter which never came because our server had gone to break and never told us. So I had to flag another server about our server and crawfish which came extremely late and only to find there were no sausages. They did take care of it which was fine but please tell your server to notify your customers when they are going on break and make sure someone else covers their duties for the mean time. The place was great but our server and service was a grade D.

We visited this place on a Friday night for dinner and it was super busy! We had a 15 min wait to get seated, we walked around the area in that time. It is a great place to walk around, lights, restaurants and lively crowd. Once seated, we got to ordering, the waiter was helpful and gave good suggestions. We ordered the beet feta salad, jalepeno cornbread, cajun pasta, shrimp pobouy and crawfish and shrimp gumbo; along with cocktails and mocktail. All the food and drinks were great! Everything tasted delicious and the whole set was quite filling for 4 women who all are heartily, we even had a bit of leftovers. We continued to sit and chat for a while and were left undisturbed. Overall ambience is casual and it gets very noisy, but the food is delicious! I would highly recommend this for friends/families but not younger kids or business meals. It is too loud for the latter 2 sets. But for casual meet ups, this is Amazing! I will definitely go again and try some more dishes ! We paid roughly $35 per person for a party of 4, including tips and mini cocktails, so you can get an idea of the pricing. Parking is in a garage nearby, plenty spots and free.

I had a fantastic meal at Nola! The atmosphere is always lively and colorful, making it the perfect spot for a weekend hangout. As for the food: Grilled Asparagus: Perfectly charred and a great fresh start. Avocado Toast: Surprisingly elevated and very satisfying. Crescent City Cooler: Refreshing, well-balanced, and easy to drink.

I attended a Stanford party that was hosted at this restaurant on a Saturday evening. The ambience is really cool and immediately reminded me of New Orleans ; especially the courtyard setting, decorative beads, and vibrant artwork that create a lively, festive atmosphere. Since this was a private event rather than a regular dining visit, I canβt comment much on their usual service or standard menu experience. The food was pre-selected for the party and served buffet-style. I tried several items - the sliders were definitely the highlight and I ended up going back for more. The salmon tacos and cauliflower tacos were also good; they leaned more toward American-style tacos rather than authentic Mexican street tacos, which is understandable given the cuisine focus. The drinks were enjoyable, with pre-mixed margaritas, sangria, and a full bar available. Overall, I really loved the ambience and energy of the place. If youβre craving Cajun-inspired food or looking for a fun, lively setting, this is definitely worth a visit.
