Sala Nola - Restaurant in New Orleans - 124 Lake Marina Ave, USA

Such a great place with a wonderful atmosphere. Nancy or server was very delightful and helpful. The ahi tuna salad was very light and refreshing and the crab and bacon omelette with very enjoyable. We will be back to try the dinner menu.

Fun place to go cool off after a day at the lake, but not great for vegetarian options. Service was great though! For drinks we got the Blueberry Lemon Drop Martini and the Frozen Peach Bellini. They were good, but really really sweet.

I started coming here when they began to serve Peppermill breakfast after that restaurant closed and the food is the same that made Peppermill a popular place to eat. I've been a few times and enjoyed what I ordered.

I was very disappointed with shrimp and grits. 80% of it went to the trash. The beignets were awesome. The vibe was really laid back, chill, and clean. The waitress (Nancy) had a grumpy attitude. She chose to raise her voice and cut off a customer when asking a question. It was a real turn off. She had 5 tables so I guess she was a bit overwhelmed, but I expect better customer service. No hard feelings.

We arrived for dinner just after 6pm on a Saturday and were able to be seated without reservations, but I would highly recommend them because it got busy quickly. There is a parking lot with plenty of parking. Loved the atmosphere; the place is modern with a variety of seating options (regular tables, high tops, bar, and lounge) and you can actually hear the person you're trying to have a conversation with. Service was great and all of the staff members were actually wearing masks correctly. The cocktail menu is extensive and all the drinks looked good. We had an appetizer and dinner, and it was all pretty good. Duck empanadas were more like triangular egg rolls but still tasty.

We have been here three times. The first two times were great. Attentive servers and great food. The third time? Not so much. The host was aloof and doesn’t seem to like his job, and both of the servers walked by us several times without acknowledging us, all while holding conversations with the tables around them, giving refills, etc. We sat there for fifteen minutes before walking out. We won’t be back.

Just left from Sala where we had a great friend Christmas brunch. It would have been a great outing until our server, Nancy L. raised her voice and was absolutely rude to one of my friends. Nancy L. explained that they didn't do separate checks. That was fine and we had no problem with that. My friend tried to ask Nancy L. for another copy of the receipt. Before my friend could finish her request, Nancy L. proceeded to talk over my friend and raised her voice and her tone was totally inappropriate to speak with any customer! She didn't even let my friend finish her request for another receipt because at no point did she attempt to listen. Her volume even drew the eyes of other guests as if we were being unreasonable, which was far from the fact. My friend was hurt and I'm upset on her behave that she was spoken to in such a manner! I will definitely reconsider recommending this place in the future.

When we arrived we were told Sala preferred reservations. The individual seemed put out that he had to find a table for us. The restaurant was not busy Plenty of tables. We said we understood and would not linger. But still we did not feel welcome . When we left the restaurant still was not busy. We received the wrong dish that had to be returned . Not a fan. Every restaurant we have been to seemed glad to see us. Not this one. Guess we get to vote with our feet.
