New Orleans
NOLA — (540) 522-6652; 534 Rue St. Louis, New Orleans, Louisiana.
Amenities: "I have to say that the single best dining experience I have ever had was at NOLA and it
was at the food bar.
I was seated there after the maitre d' suggested that since I was dining alone, it would be much more ‘better.’
I didn't even know what he meant, but went with the flow.
After sitting down, I was greeted by the executive sous chef. The person working the food bar [also called a
“chef’s bar”] started me off with something to nibble on.
The sous chef allowed me to see every dish first-hand before I made my decision. I had his recommendation every
step of the way. Even the servers weren't quick to rush me off. They let me stay as long as I liked.
How many times, dining alone, do you sit for over two hours?" C. Byrd
According to the general manager, solos (25 a day) also love the dining room where two-tops out-number four-tops
two to one.
