    Made a reservation online.. when getting to Lola’s they had no idea about my reservation. Their comments was “we don’t check the online reservations.” I waited about 20 min.. and kept waiting and decided to have brunch elsewhere. Due to this incident I won’t my going back.. not worth it.

    We made reservations and when we arrived to the restaurant, the host told us that we were not on their system. I showed him my email confirmation and he said that it didn't show up on his end, so it was invalid. So, they did not honor our online reservation. And then he went on to tell us "Don't worry, a table will come available in 30 to 45 minutes, so we can have you dine in." If I wanted to wait, I would not have bothered with a reservation. Very disappointed with how they manage their online reservations. We will definitely not be going back.

    Lolas is never disappointing We arrived with no reservation and were seated right away! The night was fresh so we decided to dine outside were the view is breathtaking ! Our waiter came right away and described menu! Crab cake appetizer is an excellent blend of flavors! Portions are big enough! I had the risotto that was perfectly cooked ! Wine was very reasonably priced! Creme Brûlée was perfect! In all it was an amazing experience!

    I was excited to try something new. Looking for a place to entertain clients. Appetizers were good, but my salmon was way over cooked. Had made a reservation several days in advance and still got stuck sitting by the front door. Service was excellent. Will try again.

    Reservé por medio del app Open Table y cuando llegamos no teníamos la reservación, supongo no están al pendiente de las reservaciones hechas por este medio. La reservación era para comoda a la 1:45 y resulta que no servían comida, únicamente Brunch. Nos ofrecieron comoquiera un corte de carne, el cual a quienes pidieron, se lo trajeron muy mal cocido, congelado por dentro, sobra decir que crudo. Nos decepcionó mucho todo esto.

    Opentable reaervation didnt work, lucky us there was a table available just in time for 8 people group. If lola bistro is not going to respect opentable reservarion, dont use them, my recommendation? Better call and have the reservation by phone, dont trust opentable for reservations Food is good, places is ok just the a/c inside was not cooling enough, we use a fan they have there available

    Started off with the cheeseboard which was excellent. Drinks and wine were good. The time to receive our appetizer and meal were extraordinarily LONG. The Risotto was served with Shrimp which were so over cooked they were inedible. When we told the waiter he offered to remake it. After waiting an hour the first time we declined. The proper thing would have been to not charge us for the poor dish, which they did not offer. We will not be back.

    Brunch was delightful. From the outside the restaurant didn’t look like much and parking was limited. The staff was friendly. The food was delicious. I had eggs Benedict and he had steak and fries. Wonderful flavor. Came out quickly. We enjoyed the $35 mimosa bottle with 3 juices as well. The pastries looked yummy but we were too full to try them. Next time.

    The Kataifi Shrimp Burnell local shrimp with cucumber and jicama slaw topped chipotle mayo and sweet soy sauce was perfectly prepared and delicious. My friend had a yummy stuffed half avocado and cup of poblano soup. We sat outside and enjoyed the view on the water. Our waiter was attentive and didn't rush our lunch.

    The reservation was good, but I guess they don't check their online reservations. As soon as I got there they asked me if I called and said no, I showed them I had a reservation online and took over 15 minutes to get the table. The food was great and their Peach Tea is wonderful. Overall is a great place to eat!

    I love Lola's. Just a small note. I wasn't expecting for it to be a Brunch until 4pm. I was, as rest of group looking forward to what they normally serve on menu OR offer more options to the Brunch menu like salads, half avocado with chicken salad or soup. But, we had a very good time and I defintely would go back. We love the place, very friendly staff and reasonable.
