Nola’s energy level and color content are high on both the first and second floors. Most of the food holds its own in this brassy décor. At celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse's French Quarter establishment, however, savoring the kitchen's handiwork requires a liberal tolerance of rich ingredients and bold spices. There are flavorful surprises with most dishes, such as the grilled Gulf fish topped with truffle butter, or the candied pecans on top of the hickory roasted duck. The perennial favorite at Nola’s is “Miss Hays Stuffed Chicken Wings.” Cast all of your nutrition ideas to the wind when it comes time for dessert. Get this: warm chocolate cake donuts with salted caramel pudding and whipped cream. The wine list is serviceable, but it does not live up to the reputation of the flagship Emeril’s restaurant in the Warehouse district.
