Lola's Gourmet

This is an absolutely wonderful restaurant in every regard. I'd suggest calling first just to get a feel for what time everything starts. If you miss the general seating they''ll still offer you a table and it's still a great experience but you'll be slightly separated from the rest. I've been there once a week for the last month. Each time it's been better than the last. The music and environment is absolutely amazing, it's darkly lit, the acoustics are phenomenal and the guests are as friendly as the staff. Look at the menu before you go to have a feel for what you want. The seafood is consistently amazing and the beef and veal is tremendous. They have their own wine room in the middle of the read section of the restaurant which has a very ecclectic selection to say the least. I'd like to suggest you ask for Mabel as your server. She has to be one of the most friendly and just enchanting servers I've had in ages. She knows the menu, treats you like you're family from the first time she meets you and is as attentive as someone can get (yet manages to do so without ever being intrusive). In part b/c of cultural differences, sometimes b/c of language issues, mostly b/c it's just so common, you'll have servers that are either too inattentive or attentive to the point they interrupt things constantly. The staff here is tremendous at just keeping a close eye on you from afar while making sure you are attended to meticulously. I'd also add that if you come for the entertainment or aren't used to this type of restaurant, things may seem to be 'slow'. This is by design. Many people come there at say 8:00 Pm and stay toclosing . If you don't come for the show this a little strange if you aren't familiar with the ambience. It's done by design, so you can complete relax and enjoy the evening. this is probably the best restaurant in the city for creating a relaxing environment and a great evening.

Was actually looking for a food truck usually located near Lola's Gourmet that wasn't there on a hungry day so decided to go to this Spanish Tapas restaurant. So glad I did because of the wonderful experience two others and I had here. We went early evening on St. Patrick's day and found the large restaurant that I noticed features traditional flamenco on scheduled nights to be pretty empty. We were seated immediately. Our server was truly exceptional--attentive, knowledgeable, and always smiling. My boyfriend ordered a variety of tapas and a paella for all of us to share since his family's from Spain. The menu was written only in Spanish so I was glad that I came with him! The tortilla con chorizo was delicious, I could eat it everyday for breakfast. The Poblano Pepper Stuffed With Chorizo & Manchego was one of my favorite savory tapas. Their olives surprised me as I had never tried marinated olives like that before and I loved these. The ham croquettes were made with serrano ham and the best I've ever had. The Garlic shrimp was phenomenal and I even ate all the buttery garlic leftover with their fresh bread. The seafood paella was also noteworthy because it was cooked perfectly. Everything was so good! I'd recommend for a date night! IG: KFitzEats

Best place to get delicious authentic Spanish food. I loved this place at the old location,which was always a great night, Now with the new larger location there is nothing not to love. Service was friendly and helpful and my paella was fantastic. The live music and entertainment are wonderful and really take Lola's to the next level. I alwaystill look forward to my next visit!
