We met friends at Nawlins on a Saturday night 6 pm. Service was pretty slow, and food was less than stellar. Had the catfish - it was soso. It was served on plastic plates, and was a little spicy - but needed much more spice. This was not what I was expecting from a place touting Cajun cooking. Our party tried to be polite - but jokes started to come out about the slow service and iffy food. A bit pricey for what you got. Drinks were a fair price and well made. If you are looking for a bar that serves food - it meets the criteria. If you are looking for a restaurant experience - you'll need to pass on this one.
The saving grace in my opinion is the live music. The rest of our party left by about 7:30, and my wife and I sat on the patio till about 10 - 10:30 listening to Rick Stahl - a talented local artist. He brings the rating to 2 stars (1.5 for him).
Gumbo lacks substance. Cuisine is fair but lacks authentic flavor.

service was terrible - my guest said I wasted their time!
