‘Nolas’ is a beautiful restaurant with fantastic food . My husband and myself first discovered it last year whilst on holiday and this year on holiday we came with our two friends who had both celebrated their 70th birthdays , and we wanted to bring them somewhere special to eat . They like us loved it too ❤️. ‘Nolas’ has a fab ambience and the staff are just so lovely and helpful. ‘Nolas’ is well worth visiting if you are ever in York.

Really lovely server, so sweet and helpful! Food was very good. Warm and cozy and wonderfully decorated. Dirty rice was a little unexpectedly bland considering how outstandingly good everything else we ate was.

The upstairs area is stunning, gorgeous decorations and lovely atmosphere. Downstairs is also very nice and more suited to a New York jazz vibe. I highly recommend the duck spring rolls, they were fantastic. All the food is well prepared and carefully made. The cocktail menu is also wide and they tasted great. Staff was lovely and attentive, and with quick service. Would love to come back again.

We came for lunch on Sunday as we were unsure of where to go but had heard good things about Nola online, it really didn’t disappoint. The food was incredible, the service was excellent, and all round it was well worth the money. We were served by Adam, and he recommended the special cocktail which he had created and it was so refreshing and tasty. The food was the best we’ve had while we have been staying over in York, especially the pork belly and the mussels. Definitely would recommend, the restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a really great atmosphere!

Possibly the most bizarre service we've ever had - the waiter made us feel really awkward and did the opposite of everything we asked, the room was crowded and noisy, and the food disappointed as it didn't tap into the cajun-style New Orleans/Louisiana vibe as much as it promised - safe to say, we skipped dessert. However, the live jazz musicians we listened to during our meal were pleasant and entertaining.

Had a fabulous experience at Nola. Right from being welcomed and served by Daisy who had such a wonderful customer service manner and was very knowledgable about the food and drink options. Then the food arrived and we weren't disappointed as every dish was well presented and delicious. Would highly recommend.

Loved this place, service really quick and pleasant welcoming staff, nice atmosphere, food was delicious 😋 We ordered gumbo, jambalaya, terriaki salmon, belly pork with sides of onion rings and fries. Desserts were raspberry sorbet and key lime pue. We couldn't finish everything. We would happily go back again.

An art nouveau styled restaurant on two levels. Excellent food served as small plates so you can try a few each or share more amongst several diners. Friendly and efficient service from very smartly dressed waiters. Altogether a great place.

Wow what an absolutely amazing place. Upon entering we were made to feel welcome...the staff love working here and it shows. Every single member of staff were friendly and attentive. The food and cocktails were simply sensational. My husband commented that it was the best food he's had in a very long time. We were celebrating my birthday and I was brought a mini dessert with a candle and a small birthday card. The attention to detail was very special. The surroundings are beautiful decorated in 1920's art deco style. Love love love this place can't wait to go back.

Came here whilst on a mini break and it was an incredible experience. We were served by some very lovely and enthusiastic staff and seated at the bar for drinks as we were very early for our booking. The decor alone was fantastic, but the cocktails were great too. The food was delicious and very good value. I'd like to add a special mention of Daisy, the lovely server that made our experience that much better. Definitely try this place out!

Gorgeous little restaurant with tasty food and an art-deco vibe that fits the menu. Cocktails were delicious and presented very well, with good range of choices. Food was very tasty - I don't often see cajun flavours in the UK so I would recommend coming to try it. Between two of us we had four main plates and two side plates followed by dessert, and this filled us up without making us feel too full. The staff were very friendly, especially our main server Daisy. We were very happy with our dining experience, and we will definitely come again when we are next in York.

One of the best experiences while staying in York. Friendly greeted and felt very welcomed once entered the restaurant. The service is the quickiest, taking in mind it is a Saturday evening.

5 stars Absolutely loved our visit to Nola York! The vibe is chic yet relaxed, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. I had the belly pork – melt-in-the-mouth perfection with a gorgeous glaze – while my partner went for the burger, which was juicy, flavourful, and seriously satisfying. We shared a lovely glass of red wine and finished off with a rich, well-made coffee. Special mention to Aldo, who was amazing from start to finish – friendly, professional, and clearly runs a brilliant team. Everything was spot on. We’ll definitely be back!

Visited here last night after a long wait to get a table on a Friday night.. The restaurant is very small but lovely and romantic, I'm not usually one to complain about loud music but we felt for a restaurant setting it was too loud we could barely have a conversation and the room was that dark we couldn't see the menu without our torch from our mobile phone, the menu was ok but we didn't realise this was like tapas and portions were tiny.. so the waitress told us to order a few dishes but for me nothing went together... the fries were extremely skinny and way too salty so we didn't eat them.. best thing I had was the kofta and my partner said the jambalaya was ok but not spicey in the slightest as it said on the menu tbh nothing special... the dessert was nice I had the chocolate melt in the middle fondant but again tiny portion so for 7.95 was overpriced! Don't think we would rush back unless the menu ever changes.

The best place in York to eat! My daughter got us a reservation here for dinner on a live jazz night. I can't believe we've not been before! The sharing plates are ideal for a large group, and the menu is SOLID! We ordered about 10 plates for 6 people and it was perfect. roasted cauliflower was my favorite. Wine selection was great, recommend this Chenin Blanc! the service was above par, the atmosphere was magical, and the band was fabulous. Seriously, one of the best evenings out I've had in years!! Can't wait to return in July on our next trip to the UK.

Food was a mixed bag. Some elements were very good (e.g. ribs, wings, po boy sandwich) but others average (e.g. supermarket quality coleslaw, bland broccoli, sloppy Mac n cheese, warm rosé wine). For the price it was fine.

Well what a find ( if you don't live in York) absolutely fabulous atmosphere very chic 30's art decco vibe, the staff are all very attentive from the very first cocktail to the last offering of food, however if you have Sam as your server youll have an even greater experience. And the food....wow, hats off just an amazing night. Will definitely be on the list when we do York next, we will even try to book a Friday Jazz night, so 3 months of advanced planning need

I had such high hopes for this and the reviews were all great but we were so so disappointed. It’s a huge tourist spot, the food was chewy and no better than your average pub fare. The service was terrible and the waiters were so grumpy. Not once did anyone ask how our food was or if everything was okay. If you are forced at gunpoint to go, order the ribs and the arancini. AVOID the monkfish!! Ridiculous portion. Huge disappointment, avoid at all costs.

I had this restaurant pop up on social media and I couldn't resist convincing my partner that we needed to go for my birthday meal Aimee, how fantastic are you?! So friendly, knowledgeable and just the right amount of enthusiasm. I had mentioned on my booking that we were attending on my birthday and a little chocolate morsel with whipped cream and a candle made its way to our table once we has eaten, thank you so much for that! Its absolutely worth visiting while the deal is on, we managed to try the octopus risotto and gumbo, things we haven't even seen on a menu before now! We couldn't eat a dessert (too full) so we opted to have the triple rum taster and asked Aimee to choose the rum for us as we don't normally drink rum. All the options were so tasty and different from each other so we got a really good experience The atmosphere is so good here, we were seated downstairs (chosen when booking) we missed the live jazz but the music and ambiance was awesome regardless Will be visiting again once we recover from this trip!

Fabulous from start to finish. Came here when visiting York after looking for a good restaurant on trip advisor and we weren't disappointed. We had a warm welcome and were quickly shown to our seats. They have a great menu with plenty of choice for both vegetarians and meat eaters alike, plus a good drinks selection. The smaller portions are great as they allow you to enjoy more than one thing off the menu! The food was delicious and and the service was very prompt and attentive. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially our waitress Daisy. They were also very helpful and thorough helping to guide us through the menu in relation to allergies. We would definitely recommend Nola and would love to visit again and explore the menu some more.

Absolutely faultless. We loved the decor and were sat at a great table. The servers advise 2 mains and a side each which was just right, and means you get to taste few dishes which was great. We had the grilled oysters, scallops, gumbo and beef bao buns, all were cooked to perfection. Our waiter was very attentive without being overbearing and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We'll be back.

Nola: A Perfect Symphony of Flavors and Jazz Nola isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience. From the moment we stepped into its cozy, speakeasy-esque atmosphere, we were transported to a world of romance and refined enjoyment. We visited on a Tuesday evening, drawn in by the promise of live jazz, and Nola delivered on every front, exceeding our expectations in every way. We had pre-booked, mentioning that we were celebrating both a birthday and an anniversary, and the team at Nola truly went above and beyond to make our evening special. They clearly took our request to heart, crafting a truly unforgettable experience. Let's talk about the music: the live jazz was absolutely sublime, creating the perfect backdrop for our special occasion. It was sophisticated, soulful, and just the right volume to allow for conversation. They even sang happy birthday as a surprise as well as taking requests! The food was, without a doubt, the best we experienced in York. Nola's fine dining tapas were exquisite, each dish a miniature work of art bursting with flavor. The creativity and quality of the ingredients shone through in every bite. And the cocktails? Equally impressive! They were expertly crafted, innovative, and perfectly complemented the food. The service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel truly valued and cared for. They anticipated our needs without being intrusive, adding to the overall sense of relaxed elegance. Honestly, I can't fault a single thing about our evening at Nola. From the captivating music to the exceptional food and drinks, and the outstanding service, everything was absolutely perfect. It was the ideal setting for our special occasion, making our birthday and anniversary truly memorable. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable dining experience in York, especially if you appreciate live jazz and exquisite food, Nola is an absolute must. I wholeheartedly recommend their Tuesday jazz nights and can't thank the team enough for making our celebration so incredibly special. We will definitely be back!

After seeing reviews we decided to try here for lunch, they have a special deal on with two small plates and a side dish for £20. There is a very wide choice so difficult to choose but we loved everything, the lamb kofta being a highlight. Have to say the small plates are not that small so amazing value. Service was fast served by a wonderful waitress.

This was our first visit to this exceptional restaurant. Stylish, romantic, yet vibrant. The menu, which is innovative, has a New Orleans edge to it. The dishes are small in volume, the recommendation is to order 2 main dishes & 1 side dish per person, although this is of course, customers perogative. Note', the prices of the dishes reflect their size, making your bill reasonable. The quality of the food is first class, as is the quality of the service, friendly & very efficient,( Thank you Aimee, our waitress). I can't praise this outstanding restaurant enough & thoroughly recommend a visit when you're in the historic city of York. (Can get busy, especially at weekends)

Visited on Tuesday 21st of Jan. Met at the door by a young man who showed us quickly to a seat. The service then became excellent when Rose approached the table with menus. Kind and informative. Food was first class, Cajun Monkfish, Prawn Po Boy and Dirty Rice. Mississippi Mud Pie for pudding. The art deco style and lay out of the restaurant is an excellent use of space. Only down side was it felt a little cold and there wasn't much atmosphere as it was quiet but we assume that was because if the time of year. Again, Rose was excellent and her service matched the high quality of the food

We went for the spare ribs, southern fried Cauliflower, Jambalaya, Arancini, and 2 sides of Onion rings and sweet potatoe fries. This was part of a deal (2 mains and 1 side for £20).

We ate a Nola on a busy Saturday night in December as a large table of 14 - and what an outstanding experience. From the moment we arrived the staff couldn’t do enough for us. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and every member of our dining party was so complimentary! The menu is varied and offers a great selection (highly recommend the pork belly and beef medallions in particular). The cocktails are outstanding and the margaritas are the best I’ve ever had. Service was prompt and absolutely seamless to say we were such a large party. Decor, ambiance and atmosphere just makes this one of the top places to dine in the city.

We came for our friends 21st birthday. We all ordered several cocktails and food. Unfortunately we kept getting told off all the time … for 1. Taking photos 2. Using flash 3. Playing a video 3. Dancing for a tiktok etc being reminded that there were more people in there restaurant not just us. When we were sat next to the bar on the top with nobody around except the bar team. All staff were lovely except the supervisor or manager who was the one telling us off. What a boring place to go for drinks. We were all so disappointed as we thought it would be nice to celebrate her birthday there. The supervisor (has a bun and circle black large earrings) was visibly rude to colleagues pushing and ordering them inhumanely. He even rushed through and knocked down my coat and just huffed and puffed instead of offering an apology or help. He seemed offended every time we giggled or spoke to each other. We had 1 cupcake leftover so we gave it to Jack our waiter and the supervisor laughed . Giving us evil looks all night. After not even 2 hours at our table we had to leave because of this negative experience. What a way to ruin a special birthday . Never coming again! Wish we booked our friend somewhere else. She was very upset because of this man.

Our waitress Zara was perfect, knowledgeable and very pleasant. It was my wife's birthday and we were treated to free chocolate mouse and amaretto. The atmosphere was chilled and sophisticated.

Our experience was tarnished because the manager with the man bun was incredibly rude, so unfortunately we won’t be returning. Never had to leave a bad review before!

Amazing night here at Nola. Our waitress Zara had only been there 3 weeks and she was so lovely and just the right amount of attentive. Food was gorgeous small-ish tapas portions but sooooo filling. Food and cocktails were amazing. Customers that came in were nice and friendly so the vibe was happy and warm. All over recommend!

We came to Nola for a delightful meal out whilst on holiday in York. We were served mainly by Jack, who was absolutely fantastic. You can tell that they care about their role, whilst not being pushy, we felt well looked after. We could not recommend this place enough! The food was devine, all the staff were impeccable, and the atmosphere was both sophisticated and joyful. 5 stars!

I booked a table at Nola for my mums’ birthday. It was a last-minute change of plan from an evening meal at a diff establishment to an afternoon lunch to accommodate family members travelling with children. Aldo was super swift to respond and book us in and on the day, staff, service, and food was EXCEPTIONAL. We had a great time as a family. The children absolutely loved the food (5 kids under 10 years). The southern fried chicken burgers were a hit. The octopus risotto, beef medallion, prawns, chicken wings, bao, lamb kofta, calamari were all super tasty and cooked to perfection. Staff were supportive to the fact there was no kids’ menu, but they would remove any spice and/or make things easier so that everyone had an enjoyable experience. On clearing the table, the team brought out a birthday dessert and card for my mum and we all sang happy birthday. The décor was art deco, the cocktails were delicious, the place was clean, and the washroom facilities were also kept to a high standard. We will most definitely be back again as we’d like to come (without the children) to experience the jazz in the evening. Well done to you Aldo and your team for giving us a memorable experience 😊

We were looking for a special place to eat for my partner's birthday treat, We chose Nola because it looked inviting and offered a range of sea food which we both love. We were served and looked after by Rose and Sarah, nothing was too much for them! The added lovely touch was a 'Happy Birthday' card and candle to blow out. We ordered small plates of mainly sea food which we shared while enjoying the ambience of the beautiful restaurant. Thank you Nola, Sarah and Rose for helping to make such a special day for us xxx

Happened by chance, very nice and welcoming place, run by Italians, it's the place where we ate best in the days we were in York. Generous portions and average prices.

We went for the Sunday evening Live Jazz, it had great atmosphere, lovely food and great music. To be honest at a very reasonable price. We will definitely visit again.

Great atmosphere, gorgeous food and friendly and helpful staff! My girlfriend and I went for my 30th birthday and the staff went out of their way to make it night special including a small suprise birthday pudding for me. Our waitress Daisy was especially kind and helpful, giving us recommendations and fun chat. Would recommend!

Dessert was lovely, as was the mocha. Board games are really fun to play whilst waiting or eating. Staff are amazing, they kindly let us order just as they were closing and let us eat in! Definitely recommend.

I had several takeaways during my previous visits and food quality was awesome. Visited today with family and I have no words to describe my disappointment. The portions have been reduced. The biriyani was pathetic especially the prawn was rubbery. Starters were soggy. Either the ratings are incorrect or the chef was on leave. In either case u lost a customer

One of my favourite pubs in York. Excellent choice of beers. Am yet to sample the food but it sounds great.
