   Completely underwhelming. Interior is really cute and lovely, service was good but not amazing (waiting with an empty drink, food slow to come out). The oysters had grit in them that I had to spit out, the ground nut soup and cornbread were delicious. The mama Wanda was just a giant prawn on a bed of grits—good, but nothing special about the seasoning or flavors. We enjoyed the ooey goey cake for dessert. For $200 for 2 people when the best thing was cornbread I can make at home, the value was just not there.

   The menu was incredibly limited. Based on the reviews, I came for a New Orleans inspired cuisine and found none of that. I had a cocktail and my guest and I split the chicken gizzards and cornbread. The gizzards were tough, but the cornbread was OK. Our bill including tip was about $85. We left hungry and went to Alabama Fish market.

   Overall enjoyed the experience. Restaurant was pretty chilly on a frigid night with tables right next to the door. Staff asked diners to wait outside in 15 deg weather when people were 5-10 min early. There was an error with an order, that was corrected when when the check came - but for the price of the food - attention to detail is expected, acknowledging mistakes happen.

   Always an amazing time when we come here. Love that the menu rotates every 90 days. It was so delicious - as always! We always make a stop here every time we’re in Cincinnati. Some of the best food we’ve had, period!

   Always love Nolia. This time we particularly enjoyed the Ba Kri Twa, the chicken gizzards, cornbread, duck breast, and ooey gooey. Really unique cuisine for Cincinnati, and such a friendly, warm atmosphere.

    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!
