    Great experience. Only negative was our initial seating. I had a party of 7 and we were seated at a table for 5. We asked for another table and was granted our request without issue. But surprised our initial seating was a table that could sit 5 comfortably (in my opinion). A chair was placed in a walking aisle at the booth we were going to seat at. Our second table was upstairs by the bathroom with more room. I do ask why a large party was expected to be seated at a booth for 5? There were several tables open to accommodate my party but i do realize i do not work there and there is a workflow I am not familiar with. Other than that, Lolinda exceeded my expectations. Thank you.

    Food was delicious and staff checked in often. At times I didn’t have a chance to respond to a question or for a recommendation, but staff followed up and delivered. In short, delicious, and good service but very fast paced.

    It was very good, service was quick and helpful in deciding plates and drinks. Ambience was mellow and fairly relaxed. Food was fantastic and wait times were consistent and excellent. All in all place was great, recommend 100%.

    Poor services, not knowledgable about availability of wine. Unpleasant smell from where I was seated. Potions for a large salad is ridiculous.

    Yuca fries, ceviche (top notch leche de Tigre), and provolone were all excellent. Atmosphere is great but way too loud when sat by the speakers. New York strip is pretty good but don’t order the filet. Trust me on this.

    Lolinda is always an amazing place to eat. There were 5 of us and we all just got 8-10 share plates. It was plenty! Service is amazing, drinks are great, staff is so awesome, and the ambiance is perfect for a night out with friends. Will always come back here!

    We spend our New Year's Eve's and our birthdays at Lolinda. And every time, it's a hit! Great food and a great couple folks that work there make the experience fantastic. Carlos is one of the servers and is a staple employee and has the most welcoming personality that makes him so special to us. And now, after our past couple dinners, Vincent has made our visits most special. Believe he's a manager. Great personality and very accommodating to any needs that we might have. And better than that, just a great personality to talk to and have visit our table. Can't say enough about Lolinda. Great people, great food & good times. A most definite have to!
