Had a party of 7 that was seated upstairs in the middle room. Service was slow at the start due to 3 other tables in the next room getting their food as we were seated. We hadn’t even ordered apps 30 minutes after our reservation. But once those tables were served, we were able to order and the service picked up. Stars of the show were the mussels, flat bread, tomato dill soup, filet with king crab, scallops, short ribs and the bread pudding. I would pass on the Cajun Cream pasta.

My mom and I tried Nolia Kitchen for the first time and were very pleased with everything! Our server was amazing and the food was insanely delicious. Each item prepared with love. You can tell they are very prideful in what they offer and serve. Such a cute and quaint space. I loved the exposed kitchen as well. Highly recommend!
