Café NOLA-NOLA representing New Orleans, Louisiana-serves a variety of Cajun specialties including po' boys, ettouffee, jambalaya, dirty rice, gumbo and alligator bites. Owner Kevin Brown insists that his traditional Cajun fare is not all about being spicy. "Louisiana cooking has the unfortunate reputation that it has to be hot and spicy.This is simply not true. The true art of Cajun cooking is the unique blend of herbs and spices that serve to enhance the flavor of vegetables, seafood, meat, poultry and wild game. In addition, the chef must know how to blend the ingredients together."

Our second floor can be used for private parties for birthdays, showers, holidays, graduations and other celebrations for up to 30 people. We also cater off-premises for as many guests as desired. The full menu is available for take-out.
