| - Was really looking forward to trying this place. First impressions were that it is has a very cool vibe and seemed pretty busy even though it was way after regular lunch time. So I couldn't wait to try the food! Since I was by myself, the wait staff was going to put me at the bar, but it was way off to the side and nobody there. I asked if I could have a small table. Staff said no problem and asked me to sit in the waiting area. Well, apparently they completely forgot about me. I waited, and waited. I saw two tables of twos leave. I was patient. Didn't want to rush them. Maybe they haven't had a chance to bust the tables yet. Twenty minutes, later, I walk up to the front and it's like they never saw me before. WTF? Okay, calm down, I told myself. Maybe someone was new. Maybe it is unusually busy for the time. My chai latte came out first and it was fantastic. Spicy, creamy, and loved their presentation. It came in an individual French press looking contraption so you could see all the spices they used for the chai. My hemp burger was really good. However the chickpea fries were really greasy and the side salad looked like it had seen better days. I love salads, but I could not get myself to eat it because it was all wilted. Was it just under the heat lamp for too long or is this the standard? The dressing was tasty though. I'm debating with whether next time this happens, should I just ask for a fresher salad? I'm always afraid the staff would do something bad with my food. Overall, the staff was pleasant and service was good after the initial seating snafu. As I was getting ready to leave, I realized I shouldn't be too hard on Lola Rose. Here I was at a vegetarian restaurant with my Pajar winter coat with animal trim on the hood. Hahahaha! What an a$#hole I am? Sorry, but it's the only coat I have for subzero weather. Touche, Lola Rose!
