My family and I decided to come here to celebrate my mother in laws 51st birthday. I was super excited about this place and could not wait to try the awesome food.
Overall, I would rate this place a 4.5. Here's my breakdown:
Food 4.5/5
Atmosphere 4/5
The only thing that really bothered me was a the lack of space for a fine dining restaurant. There was definitely some tables that were against the wall and it looked like customers had a difficult time walking around.
Now the food, let me tell you.. it was very tasty. I definitely enjoyed what I ordered. The lobster entree was my favorite and will be ordering it again the next time I am in down. The butter sauce on the side was delicious and complimented the dish very well. The bay scallop appetizer was a very interesting dish, the oxtails went surprisingly well with the scallops and each spoonful was filled with lots of textures that complimented each component. My 9 month old daughter loved the appetizer and voiced out her opinion for this dish in lots of googoos and gagas. The rib eye entree was so delicious... it cut like butter and the bleu cheese on the meat gave it a awesome taste I was not expecting especially because I am not a fan of bleu cheese. The chicaron on top of the rib eye was the best I have ever had... it was simply AMAZING. The bone marrow appetizer was one that I expected more from but it was not disappointing, just mediocre. Having fried bone marrow was probably not such a good idea because the marrow just melts in your mouth but the batter stuck onto my tonsils and caused me to choke. However, the sides for the bone marrow were delicious.. especially the bacon jam.
The alcoholic beverages were strong; which is good because it prevents from going overboard with ordering too many cocktails.. one cocktail did last me the entire dinner.. and I did feel "good" at the end of the night. That's probably what I deserve after asking the server what strong fruity drink she would recommend..
I am excited about coming here again and was so happy to experience the food of Lola.
