text: I will try NOLA again but I have to say my first experience was less than stellarnnWe had a reservation but sat for minutes at the bar waiting for them to get us a table I went up to them about minutes in to see if they had forgotten us and got a confused look and finally a yes we have you on the list They never seated us and never came around to offer alternatives or anything There were open tables Finally we left and ate elsewherennBeyond the service there was loud musictoo loud to talkblaring in the dining area I like music I like restaurants I do not mind when restaurants have music But when you cannot hear what the person you are eating with is saying to you and the bartenders cannot hear what you are ordering the music is too loud for a restaurant I go to restaurants to enjoy a good meal and have a nice conversation with whomever I am with I would guess most people share that belief If I want it that loud I will go to a bar not a restaurant nnOh and the beer from the taps tasted funky They either are not cleaning their taps or are cleaning them improperly I tasted both an IPA and a wheat beer Both were weirdnnSorry NOLA but nothanks
