  • I have to say, after reading the reviews I was very disappointed by the Yelp community. This place should not have 4 stars. I think that even 2 stars is being generous. I had high hopes for this place but they sizzled to the floor moments after I walked in. We went to Lola's on a Friday evening. It was busy like most restaurants in Vegas are on Friday so I don't hold it against the establishment. What most people don't realize is that this is a TINY restaurant. There are not very many tables at all. It is insanely loud too. The table we sat at was not even and we had to constantly shift weights on the table to keep it level. Our order was taken pretty quickly after we arrive and we ordered some oysters for starters. We use to live in coastal Washington so when a restaurant has oysters on the menu, we typically order them for the nostalgia they bring. Our oysters were more than broiled, they were burned and hard to chew. This is frankly one of the worst oyster experiences I have ever had. Oysters should never be hard to chew. There was liquor in them either. Even broiled oysters should have a liquor--even if it is just a bourbon or butter based sauce, it needs to be there. They cost us $12.49 for a plate of inedible chew-balls from the sea. They were tiny too--like the size of dimes for the oyster meat--or, at least what was left of the oysters after the kitchen got their fiery hands on them! Because I understand that not every dish is created equally I still held my hopes high for the main course. Those hopes were drowned by the 50 minute wait time from appetizer to entree. We watched guests that were seated after us be served their dishes well in advance of us. We really felt ignored. Our waitress filled our water glasses once during the entire night--even though we were there a few hours. I ordered the Catfish platter which on the menu has a number 3 beside it, indicating there would be 3 fillets. Because I spent a lot of time in the South and I love "bronzed" catfish I ordered mine to be the same. I must note that bronzed fish in no way translates to dried, black, inedible fish. When my plate finally arrived it had one very blackened piece of fish on it. My fish was so dry I quit eating shortly after I started. The seasoning was over salted as well. The waitress never came to ask how my dish was either. I was very disappointed. For one piece of dried out horrible fish, it racked up the bill another $15. My fiance ordered the the Shrimp Creole ($15.99) and his shrimp were also over cooked but not to the point where they were inedible. So, he shared with me. My daughter ordered a plain Caesar salad ($8.99) because there were no children's options and she is a vegetarian (this place is NOT vegetarian friendly at all--they actually make a point of hinting at that on the menu: most things are non-vegetarian and they make no acceptations or substitutions! God forbid some grits not have chicken stock in them.) We ordered two glasses of wine and were given the wrong type of wine or a very poor substitution for what we ordered. The sodas are also pretty expensive so make sure you are prepared to spend 10-15 on just a few glasses of coke if you order this. Our bill went over $100 which is sad since 1/2 of the items we ordered were cooked wrong and even things we could not eat. It's been a few weeks since our visit here and I still have eater's remorse. We wont come back to eat here ever again. We're still on the hunt for a good Cajun place in Vegas--- *sighs*
