    My second visit to Nolia was even better than the first - didn’t think that was possible! Food, service, and ambiance are all 10/10, “no notes”. Best restaurant in the city!!

    This place is truly a gem! The ambiance is amazing! The service and hospitality was top knotch. Our server Cole was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and walked us through it dish by dish. It changes every 90 days or so. I loved being able to see our food being prepared! It felt like a family environment. Now to the food! The food is the best I have had in Cincinnati! The crab claws were great! The potato dumplings were so light they melt in your mouth with the fat of the foie gras, it was the perfect balance! The skillet cornbread with the butter was great to soak up every morsel of sauce on the plate. The white fish with mushrooms and black eyed peas were also delicious and flavorful! Dessert was the perfect bow to tie up a wonderful meal! Also the cocktails were great. This place is truly art with food. I will definitely be back!!!

    We had a phenomenal dinner from start to finish. Each dish was balanced with the right flavors, spice, and heat. Not your traditional New Orleans fare, but an upscale version with inspirational dishes. The cornbread is to die for! We plan to go back when they change the menu on December 21st. They change the menu every 90 days and we can't wait to go back!

    First, I’d like to give a big thank you to Chef Jeffrey Harris. I’m so proud to see you representing the 9th Ward – you’re truly making your community proud! My girlfriend and I visited tonight from the West Coast to celebrate our anniversary, and we were blown away by the exceptional food and outstanding service. The cornbread with peanut soup was incredible, but honestly, every dish we tried was fantastic. Hats off to Chef Harris and the entire team – you made our night unforgettable! If you’re in Cincinnati, definitely check this place out!

    Nolia is top notch. I have been here twice now, once in September and once in October so two separate menus since they change it ever 90 days or so. The food was amazing both times. Every bite is so flavorful. The cornbread is a must. The pinchos (pork cheek) were bursting with flavor, we savored every bite. The oysters with the Nolia hot sauce were so good, we could have made a whole meal of them. We also split the potato dumplings and the partridge entrees. The potato dumplings were my favorite out of the entrees. The service was also great. We were checked on regularly, but not to the point where it would be annoying. Our drinks were kept full. The servers were knowledgeable of the menu. I loved being able to see the head chef and other cooks at work, being able to see the art of the meals from start to finish. The chefs were so personable with their greetings when we walked in and left, despite being busy. We really enjoyed our experience and I can’t wait to come back for the next menu and bring more friends and family

    Perhaps we went on an off night as the restaurant has been well reviewed. It was an average evening for my wife and me.
