Still yummy food and wonderful service. Not too crowded on a Thursday night at 6:30pm, and quiet enough for good conversation for a party of four. Shared the corn bread as an appetizer, and they made sure to cut for four though the description said three pieces.

Came to celebrate with a close friend and it was a good experience. The staff was attentive, food was good and the ambiance was perfect for a rainy day.

This restaurant is incredible. The food is absolutely delicious and the staff are amazing. Can't recommend this place enough. We will definitely be back.

Loved everything I ate here! First time and definitely not my last. Service was quick and efficient, though they charged me for a beer that I never got. I originally asked for a skosh of one of the beers but I don't think the server understood me. We didn't bother to ask for a $7 refund for the beer, though. Aside from that, everything was great. Food was flavorful, had my first ever jambalaya here. I thought jambalaya was supposed to be extremely spicy but this was not! The blackened chicken was well-seasoned. Not pictured: beignets. Tore those up even though I was very full. Next time I'll try the etoufee! Inside of the restaurant was nice, too. Felt like I was being welcomed into someone's kitchen, very family-like.

We started with dessert. Ask me about the beignets. The decor? It was very lovely and really welcoming. It made me feel like I was treating myself. I have to tell you about the beignets. The service, you ask? The host and server were attentive and accommodating. Our cups were hardly empty and our food was prepared promptly and with care. Now, do you want to know why we started with dessert? I was skeptical because I've had NOLA's finest and one very good 2nd in a little coastal town I once knew. The beignets here at CreoLa were the make or break for us. Well, as you can see, I rated this quite highly. We finished our beignets, ordered our entrees and then more beignets. Thank you CreoLa.

What a hidden gem in San Carlos! This place is so easy to miss on El Camino Real, my wife and I wish we knew about this place sooner. As soon as you walk in you get that New Orleans style feel. The black/white backsplash on the bar, multiple ceiling fans, wooden vaulted ceiling, etc. Our server was great and helped us decide on what to get based on his personal recommendations. Safe to say, his recommendations were on point! The food was delicious, my wife and I had to try almost everything on their menu! I had the fried chicken, very crunchy but still moist. My wife had the shrimp and crawfish étouffée, full of flavor and the seafood was cooked just right. Everything pictured was very very good and we can't wait to go back. Highly highly recommend checking this place out!

Tried this place today. The staff was accommodating and kind. We asked to sit outside and they were so gracious to place 2 tables together for me and my family. Honestly we got there right at 11 and they just mopped the floor so we opted for outside to avoid strong smells plus it was a nice day. We got quite the spread. We don't go to San Carlos often so we thought, why not? 1) corn bread - very basic but came out piping hot! Would love the option for jalapeño corn bread. 7/10 2) crispy boudin balls - these were so good! I wish they were bigger but they were seriously awesome. They were crispy, tender on the inside. It's pork belly and chicken livers but some home tastes like a crab cake? Sauce was awesome too. 9/10 3) fried chicken- seasoned well, tender and juice in the inside. 8/10 4) shrimp and crawfish etouffe - so yummy and flavorful. Had a nice portion of seafood and rice. Very filling. 9/10 5) shrimp CreoLa- I subbed rice for grits. It came with a seafood stuffing that I mixed in the grits. The grits itself weren't as creamy or cheesy as I liked to me but once mixed with the stuffing, it was great. Came with 5 shrimp, I wish they were bigger. But shrimp was tender and cooked perfectly. 8/10 6) begniets - fluffy, warm with 2 sauces. Wish they were bigger. 8.5/10 We were checked on many times. We were greeted with smiles. We felt absolutely taken care of and because of this, it's a 5 star rating. We will be coming back!

We came on Friday evening when they just opened and were able to grab a spot without reservation. Staff was hospitable and humorous. As the night went on, the restaurant was bustling and full of patrons. Oyster en brochette - succulent oysters fried to perfection wrapped in bacon, pairs well with creamy remoulade sauce Catfish with remoulade sauce - I chose for it to be battwred and fried in cornmeal crust. Crispy batter that is not too heavy, still flaky and soft catfish. Love the side dishes of jambalaya and collard greens Beignets - small pieces of dessert delight, dip in caramel or chocolate sauce and it is a perfect way to end dinner

A nice restaurant on El Camino Real. They have inside seating with a lot of tables near their windows. Outdoor seating is available as well. Decor is simple, yet homey. White walls with a lot of pictures, paintings, mirrors, etc. Smooth jazz music playing in the restaurant. They have one man and one woman's bathroom each; clean and spacious. The service was nice and friendly! My wife and I shared the following... Corn Hush Puppies: Fresh Corn Fritter, Remoulade Sauce. - Crispy, slightly sweet, but a bit dense. Side of Red Beans & Rice: smoky, with a delicious kick of spice. Side of Cream Cheese Grits - creamy, smooth, and buttery grits. Delicious! Shrimp CreoLa: Gulf coast shrimp, seafood stuffing, smoked tomato beurre blanc, steamed jasmine rice. This dish came with sautéed green beans. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. The stuffing was a medley of flavors. The portion was a bit smaller than I hoped. Cornbread muffin - moist, and slightly sweet. It was a good muffin. Abita Rootbeer: Sweetened with pure Louisiana cane sugar. I was intrigued because it must be popular in Louisiana. "The flavors of honey, vanilla, sassafrass, clove, and licorice are clearly discernable. There's a little bit of mint in the mix as well, but less than in most root beers."

Went to Creola with the boy when we were in the area and so glad I finally got to try this place out! If you are looking for creole food this is a good spot for you. For a Sunday lunch, thankfully there was not a wait when we got there and we were seated quickly and given the menu. The ambiance is cute and it's nice to grab food with friends or a partner. We ended up ordering: * shrimp etoufe - this was delicious and flavorful and came with shrimp as well as crawfish. There was also rice that came with it as well as cornbread * fried chicken with mashed potatoes and jambalaya - this was also yummy and juicy and flavorful. The sides we picked were awesome with the chicken. This dish also came with au jus which was awesome * beignets - we got this with caramel and chocolate sauce. Overall yummy and flavorful as you'd expect My main qualm with this place is that the portions were small. It's definitely on the pricier side and portions were tinier, especially the sides. The flavors and taste is on point though. Overall it was a great experience, but I think worth giving larger portions would be nice for the price!
