Nola's

I like Nola's. The bar is nice to sit at, and the service is really good. Quite pleasantly surprised after I found it in Clinton. Update: reduced one star as its closed most of the time. Can't taste the moderately good food if it's closed. Reply to the owner: Exactly! taking out food from a $$$ restaurant is not quite the same experience! If I want to enjoy the ambience of my dining room with good food, I can cook it myself!

This is a cute little restaurant in Clinton, NY. Its food changes often - yet is always extraordinary. Staff is profession and polite. Easy to find parking nearby. One of Utica's best fine dining experiences. Recommend setting reservations ahead of time. Perfect for those visiting from out of town. Highly recommend.

Went for a birthday dinner. 4 rounds of drinks, appetizers, dinners and desserts... so the whole enchilada. First the appetizers were killer. We had the grapefruit carpacio and the shrimp and lobster hot pot. Never realized how amazing grapefruit can be with almond butter and endive. The hot pot was chef kiss perfect with the ginger coconut curry. Bestie had the salmon (excellent) and I had the chicken schitznel (perfectly cooked and the potato salad was banging). Desserts were top notch for the bourbon pecan pie and the dark chocolate pot de creme. Drinks were cranberry sangria, pear mule, 2 rounds of the white grape cosmos (amazing) and a round of the Mexican espresso martini with dessert. All drinks were awesome with the cosmos for the win. Server paige was great. She was pretty busy with the bar but did a great job. We love Nolas and really like going there for big events to really enjoy the evening.
