Sala has been one of our favorite places for brunch and Happy Hour. The server we initially had didn't introduce herself when she came to our table and was rude for the beginning. She actually told my friend that she didn't like being "summoned" because we waved to her to let her know we needed something. I won't tolerate a rude server so I asked to speak to the manager and Chuck immediately came out and listened to me and said he would send over a new server right away. I appreciate that he was a wonderful listener and expressed his concern. Our new server was the bartender Monique and she was A+ and even an alumni of our high school. As always the bottomless mimosas that are available on Saturday are strong and flowing. The frozen Poloma was also amazing. All of the food was hot and delicious. The restaurant is always bright and cheery. I do recommend Sala! read more

Prices like they are bougie, but not the service or the food. We went for restaurant week 2026. I had the beet salad, scallops and cheesecake. The scallops were rubbery and didn't taste fresh. The cheesecake tasted like grocery store cheesecake, nothing special. But what I really didn't like was being rushed. The courses came too fast to finish the previous course, so I took most of the food home, though I ended up throwing the scallops and pasta away, it just wasn't good. read more

Good food, great drinks, and friendly staff! Definitely give them a try. Nice venue, and the bar is a great place to meet new people and enjoy a good time. read more

I came here originally for Coolinary but ended up doing the steak night special. I had reservations for 6:00pm. I arrived at 5:55 and the hostess said my table would be ready in 10 minutes once the couple who was sitting there got up. I went to sit at the bar and realized I had a few minutes left of happy hour so I got truffle fries, a dirty martini and a blueberry lemon drop. All of these were great but it was 6:20pm before our table was finally ready which is a bit ridiculous. Fast forward, we ended up ordering the steak night meal, the brussel sprout appetizer and a side of Alfredo pasta. Everything was flavorless and dry. Salt and pepper couldn't even help. I'd come back for happy hour drinks and fries for sure but I don't have any desire to eat here again unfortunately read more

Excellent food and service. Great brunch menu. Zeppole just like grandma used to make. Smoked Salmon Benedict! But the star of the meal were the Truffle Fries? Fresh, crispy and full of flavor. Nancy was an excellent server. Coming from a retired restaurant manager, someone is doing an excellent job hiring and training here. Keep up the good work. read more

Good eats!! The two of us got ambitious. Appetizer: brussels sprouts, spinach and artichoke dip, herb truffle fries. Split an order of Gulf fish tacos. Entrees: she had Gulf fish almandine (today it was sheepshead) and I had about two bites of my panné veal, but only because I was so full! Everything was delicious. Nancy was absolute aces. read more

Absolutely love Sala! One of our "go to" for bruch (family, friends, birthday) also great for happy hour and business dinners! Food is always amazing, great options, plus the drinks are delicious and always on point. Staff is also outstanding. We had a larger family group this time with toddlers and they were truly so patient and attentive. Always will recommend Sala! read more

Sala use to be our go to for Sunday Dinner. The last few visits have not been good. The service has gotten really bad, slow and clumsy. The restaurant is starting to look tired and needs to be refreshed. The tables are worn . The food menu has been made smaller and not enough variety. The spinach dip tastes like it was frozen or the very least refrigerated, not fresh at all. We usually now order the burger, which is good. The prices are getting up there too. For what you are getting the bad is starting to out weigh the good. read more

Our server was very nice, she was attentive and took good care of us. What I didn't care for was taking a 4 top and squeezing in to make 5. We already had a reservation so it shouldn't be a big surprise but I guess it was. For dinner I ordered a crawfish bisque. It was fair, nothing above average. I had a small meatball sized crawfish ball. Wasn't impressed. For my main course I ordered the Sala burger, medium. With cheese, egg, bacon, lettuce and tomato. It was very good except the bottom bun was soft and gooey. When are the chefs going to learn not to put the burger on the bottom bun without a piece of lettuce to prevent the grease from leaking through. Even with that small issue the burger was great. I'll be back again and try another dish. read more

Went for Coolinary and really enjoyed the experience. I had the steak tacos, which were a little heavy on the cheese but still pretty good. The fries were tasty, and the pork chop was outstanding--definitely a highlight. The corn and crab soup and berry salad were both fresh and flavorful. For dessert, the red velvet cake and lemon cream cake were delicious and a perfect finish to the meal. At $44, the menu was absolutely worth it! read more

Decided to go here for a birthday brunch. Made reservations online and was quickly seated when we arrived. It looked nice on the inside, and was glad we were seated at a booth. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. I had on my birthday headband and the waitress brought out an order of zeppole with a candle which was nice of her. It was really good, and I think it was the best thing we had there. Myself and another friend ordered the west end breakfast bowl, another ordered the traditional Benedict, and my other friend ordered the Lakefront BLT. The breakfast bowl was fine but very basic. Nothing special about it and we had to add some salt and pepper. My friend said the Benedict was good and my other friend said she enjoyed her BLT. They also said the strawberry lemonades were good. I'm not sure if I need to go back for brunch, but the dinner menu looks pretty good so I may go back for that. read more

Visited today and had a great experience! I love going to restaurants on the lake, I love being on the lake in general. Today was actually my first time after driving by this restaurant multiple times. While dinning, I only ordered small bites as I was passing time on the way to an event. I ordered the truffle fries + bang bang shrimp, and of course drinks. The shrimp were very tasty and good, some of the best bang bang shrimp I've had. The fries were really greasy but still fine-- I probably wouldn't order those again. Tiffany was at the bar on the drinks and she is great. My drinks were made perfectly. The atmosphere of this place is casual. It was dead today when I visited. I can see this restaurant being a nice meet up spot for friends. I'm looking forward to visiting again soon. read more

I can't believe I haven't left a review for this place yet. One of the most underrated places in New Orleans!!! A great place to feel fancy without breaking the bank. Service is always top notch. I've been coming to steak night on Wednesday's for about a year now. Such a steal!! Steak night is $35 per person and includes: An 8oz filet, loaded mashed potatoes, and a side salad. It's all SO delicious and i'm always SO full afterwards. Plus, if you go between 4-6 it's happy hour! So, double deals! One of the best deals in the city for sure. read more

I have come here two or three times and the food is always just mediocre. I want to like their menu especially when I heard they were bringing Riccobono's Peppermill breakfast back, but it just isn't the same. The Irish coffee was probably the only good tasting item I had on our most recent visit on March 30. The service was ridiculously slow. It took about 10 minutes to get drink orders in and then after we ordered 20 minutes after that, it took an hour before the food came out. No explanation or appolgies either. And the place was nearly empty with the exception of one large group of about 12 people. I ordered the smoked salmon benedict and honestly the salmon was so fishy, I just could not finish it and ate around it. I have come here for dinner as well, and again, mediocre. Their cocktails were spot on and it was Christmas themed cocktails, too! And the service was much better and ironically, the restaurant had more people dinning, go figure. It is a nice location and nice space, but I don't want to eat here anymore. They excel in making craft cocktails and if I come back, I will come back for one of their very well made and tasty cocktails. read more

Great food and great service! Love the variety of drinks and food options. Very easy to make online reservations.

I started out with the king cake bites and an iced coffee which were both very very delicious. Note, they do give you cream and sugar in your iced coffee without asking which I enjoyed but it's not good for everyone. The food was pricey for what it was. My friends' brunch food was mid to good enough. My crab cake benedict was edible but not good. The poached eggs were more like softboiled, no runny yolk at all, and completely unsalted. The whole plate was extremely underseasoned. The crab cakes were soft and I couldn't detect much actual crab meat in them. Probably won't be back. read more

My family and I just tried to walk in on a Sunday morning. The restaurant was not even packed. They had plenty of tables inside and outside had no one but they stated that there was no room and that a bunch of people were coming from church ! Did not bother to tell us how long the wait is and brushed us off. The customer service was horrible! read more

I've been to Sala a number of times for both weekend brunches and dinners. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed. The service is excellent. My favorite brunch dishes are the eggs pontchartrain and the crab cakes Benedict. Both were excellent. For dinner, I've tried the shrimp tacos, the Sala burger, and the sesame soy seared tuna appetizer. All of the food has been well prepared and delicious. read more

I have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed! Saturday brunch is also great!

Great food and good vibes, does it get any better than that?! Recently went here for happy hour with a friend. Service was fast and drinks were plentiful. We tried so many different small plates but the standouts were the duck empanadas and sweet chili fried calamari. They have an extensive drink menu to try plus a full bar if you want to sick with your regular. I got a gin lemon drop and it did not disappoint. Great location with parking on the side. An not wait to try again. read more

DDC - Dining During Covid... you already know!!!! (in my Big Freedia voice) Visited with my friend for a mid-day brunch & we happened upon Sala. Located in the West End area, this location is kinda like a little duck-off; if you know then you know. As I stated, the location is nice, a little compact because of the condos in the area & the amount of traffic, but this still is a nice place for a brunch or dinner. The indoor decorum is modern, minimalist & elegant; just like I like it. Seating is spaced out, which also adds to the appeal of the restaurant. Looks like this place could be on the cover of a "kinda sort of but not too ritzy restaurant" magazine. Once indoors we requested an outdoor table. However, it was advised that the only one that was vacant was actually set aside for a reservation, bummer. But, we were FAVORED enough to see a table that was becoming vacant, so we took that table... easy peasy lemony squeezy... Our server, brought water and menus to our table. We ordered drinks, when asked, he advised that the bottomless Mimosas were over at 2 o'clock so we opted to just order single drinks. Ordering was fairly simple, the menu was straightforward, one side was food, the other side was alcohol. We ordered the shrimp salad, it was delivered in a timely fashion it was good to taste & cost effective. The ambience of the exterior portion of the restaurant was just what we needed, fresh, balmy air on a Saturday afternoon. The drinks & the food went down well. My Mexican mule was quite tasty & lit my fire just right. Now... why 3 stars? THE SERVICE!!! CUSTOMER SERVICE IS KEY!!!! Our server was lackluster, unfriendly, yet not rude, just distant, unwelcoming & distracted; this took away from my dining experience. Maybe something was going on with him, but it was VERY noticeable, as my dining partner & I both commented on it. Too many places in THE NOLA BABY to eat to return here soon. Maybe when I return, he'll have his head in the game. Private parking lot is a plus. And I found the pricing to be industry standard. read more

It was a nice experience! The dining area is clean and modern with lots of white-ness lol. I would definitely suggest visiting during happy hour (Tues-Fri, 3-6pm)...the $6 classic clocktials and well drinks are worth it! I had the pineapple cilantro marg and added an extra well shot for more potency, lol. It was very tasty! The golden fried fish was pretty good..sort of "just regular" fried fish with a cream sauce but, a nice portion! The salmon board was nothing out of this world but, filling as well. Our server (a young man I believe name Phillip) was super friendly and attentive. He even went outside with me and my mom to do a mini photoshoot for us :-) I'd definitely go back on a weekday during happy hour for some small bites and a couple good drinks! read more

Waitress was aweful. Arrived at 6:15. Did not greet us until 6:30, owner was talking to guests at table next to us and did nothing to get a waitress. Ordered an ice tea and beer, brought out 2 ice teas, ordered the house cured salmon board, brought to the table without crackers for the cheese and jalapeño peppers were under pickles, I am allergic to jalapeños, menu did not mention the jalapeños, ordered fish taco asked for the lettuce wraps as per menu, tacos brought out in tortillas, when I mentioned to waitress she offered to bring out the lettuce and said I could fix them. Son enjoyed the Brussels sprouts and the panned veal with crawfish. Service was horrible, waitress was not attentive when taking the order and did not check on us after food was brought out only to bring the bill. We have visited Sala in the past but this time it was horrible. Dropping 100 for a meal you expect better service. read more

I actually come here all the time but today something is very wrong. The drink I got was so bad, I had to ask if the bartender was new. Then I ordered something different which I have had before, also so incredibly bad. On one of the rounds where we ordered two drinks, only one drink came to the table and the waiter told us the other drink was wasn't made yet bc the bartender had to go to the bathroom immediately. Then the drink finally came and there was only 1 ingredient, so we sent it back and it was remade with the rest of the ingredients. It was drinkable at that point but it begs the question, do I want this bartender touching the stemware if he is dropping everything to rush to the bathroom mid-pour? The waiter was completely uninterested in our experience so we had to leave and spend our Friday night somewhere else. Huge bummer because this place was one of my favorites. Addendum: We were charged full price for the happy hour drink and there was an upcharge on the regular price drink because they were out of the regular liquor used to make the drink. Honestly this place needs to do better. read more

Not bad, but not great. If Sala was downtown or uptown it wouldn't get a second look, but fortunately for them, they're in a part of town without much NOLA-worthy competition. The food and drinks were okay. We enjoyed the blueberry lemon drop martinis with truffle fries and sweet chili calamari for appetizers, with tuna salad, shrimp and chicken tacos for entrees. Nothing about any of them stood out. The service was the best part of the entire experience. The hostess and servers all did an excellent job. We planned to sit outside, but with virtually no atmosphere there, opted for the air conditioning inside. The vibe is casual and relaxed.

My husband and I visit Sala every few months and have always had good experiences. The restaurant is chicly decorated and I love that there are so many windows. We started with the salmon board, and it was excellent. The salmon was fresh, and the accoutrements were all delicious. We each wanted to eat light so for mains we went with salads. I had the grilled shrimp and spinach, and my guy had the seared tuna. They were both good, and helped us stay on task of not overeating. Our waiter was friendly and efficient, and we enjoyed our time. read more
