I'm extremely disappointed and confused with Nolan's. We have a varied pallet when it comes to food and a very good mixed diet exploring middle Eastern, European, Asian and American dishes so we thought based on the reviews, photos and venue that this would be a great experience. It's small meals which was what we were looking for after a heavy day yesterday. We paid £60 in total consisting of 2 soft drinks, 4 meals and 2 sides and left unsatisfied, out of pocket and disappointed. The scallops were vile, maybe down to my personal preference but the sauce was thick and had split and tasted, being polite here, disgusting and the added bacon didn't bring anything new to it. Those alone were £10. Outrageous really. The Duck spring rolls were good but again the sweet chilli sauce didn't add any thing to it so we used this for our fries. The Dirty rice was precisely that-dirty, very bland and extremely dry. The Chicken burger was rubbery but the salmon was lovely, cooked extremely well and fell off the skewer. The staff were pleasant enough and the service was quick. Not too sure what went wrong or whether this has a reputation of being good and is on a downward spiral but we will certainly not be back under any circumstances. We're also not local but had a great time in York and I'll review those other restaurants as a comparison. And to be brutally honest, we'd would have had a better experience with a chain like Nados, Zizis, Coaté brassiere or Pizza hut! Sorry Nolan's but you didn't leave a positive impression with us.

Absolutely amazing food. This was our second time at Nola, and it was equally as special as the first time. Unreal - genuinely. As soon as you step in, the service is wonderful and attentive, and it is as long as you're in there. Super organised and incredibly helpful waiting staff. Everyone was amazing. We had Sam help us throughout our time there and he was faaaab! So lovely, funny, gave us the best recommendations, so patient with us, and when we tipped him at the end of our meal, he thanked us and let us know he's grateful to be sharing it with the rest of the team, who he deemed the best in York - and he's absolutely right. An amazing team! Special mention to the ribs!!! Make sure you get the ribs. And if you're more of a fish person, the Monkfish is delish! I can't special mention everything, but I would if I could, it's all great! Will be back plenty more, that's for sure! :)
