Smallis place with live music on the weekend. Had a fantastic group playing rock genre. Lead guitar was excellent. Location is in the market square area. Ambience is casual and very upbeat. Feels like a happening place with an energetic vibe. The bar is long and narrow. Staff is good but can get overwhelmed in a crowd. Will definitely be back.

This place might have been good at one time but the last time we ate here almost everybody at our table had something wrong with their meal. We waited forever for our drinks to arrive and even longer for the food. If you're just looking for a nice place to hang out at the bar and listen to some live jazz this place is great! Nice Ambiance on Market Square.

Wow, I was really blown away at NOLA at Market Square. This place was recommended to me by a work associate complimenting the food. I walked in to a busy bar that seemed lively. Come to find it was a pub crawl that stopped crawling. I ordered the squash and pumpkin soup ($6) with the Shrimp and Grits ($27).
I Thought is was very pricey but I don't mind if the quality is up to par. The atmosphere is very authentic to NOLA but that's where the similarities stop. The soup arrived in seconds and was bitter and salty, obviously it had been reducing for days, which was upsetting because squash and pumpkin soup is usually sweet, warm and delicious. The bartender offered to get me something else so I tried the french onion soup. It took 10 minutes, the cheese was nicely baked but the soup had little onions, it was very salty, and the bread was a gel.
At this point I was scared to see the shrimp and grits. And as expected the dish was unrecognizable from my Cajun experience. The grits were served as a cake bar which was not seasoned topped with a watery sauce that had congealed under the lamps. The celery was raw and crunchy. This was garnished with inedible garnish "to offset the color". Which is sorely needed as the color was disgusting.
I spoke to the manager who apologized but was unwilling to try the food and didn't seem interested in my opinion. He told me this was a Pittsburgh take on shrimp and grits. And he assured me others like it and removed everything from the bill. I left hungry and unhappy with the managers attitude. If they cared about quality or service the manager would have addressed the poor food immediately.
I feel sorry for everyone there that has to stomach that blemish on Cajun cuisine. In the future listen to customers and if you're going for Cajun in Pittsburgh keep it authentic!

Just went for lunch. Walked in and stood there for a few minutes and was greeted by no one. Sat at the bar unattended for a few minutes before bartender approached us saying he would be right with us. Sat there for another 5 minutes and was starting to lose my patience. The bartender started preparing our waters though. Oh wait those were waters for a different table. We both just got up and left. That's the last time I will visit this place. Also was cautious of a terrible stagnant water type smell coming from the place. If I could rate this 0 stars I would.

Their catfish sandwich was good but bland which is surprising for a "creole" restaurant. One of the waitstaff just plopped our beverages in front of us with no napkins underneath the glass and then just walked away. I was surprised the glass didn't fall over or break....made us stop our conversation mid sentence and stare at each other. Otherwise, service was okay. Other waitstaff were very attentive. Nice atmosphere, cozy place. Loved the live band but the music was too loud to continue any conversation...had to leave so we could talk and hear one another!
