Food at Lola’s is always superb. Today, I had the lamb kebab and it was terrific. I would have loved it to be less sweet, but it was still really good!

We had an outstanding experience from the food, to the ambiance and service. The crab cakes were very meaty with minimal breadcrumbs. Lobster Mac was indulgent and the spaghetti Amatriciana was packed with flavor and the pasta was perfectly al dente—I couldn’t believe it was gluten-free! Our server was attentive and knowledgeable and the chef was generous with his time getting to know us. The decors is both sophisticated and casual at the same time, very comfortable.

I have not been to this restaurant for probably 20 years. I was not disappointed. Our server was very professional but fun. The food was excellent. The restaurant was packed and full of energy. My only complaint the entire evening is it took quite awhile to have someone come over to take our initial drink order and it took some time after that to get our drinks (pet peeve). After that, the service was flawless and our group of 6 enjoyed our time there very much. I will not wait another 20 years to return!
