  • Despite some of my prior experiences at restaurants owned by celebrity chefts which have been overly disappointing (Mesa Grill in NY comes to mind), Lola met my high expectations. My Friday evening 9:15 reservation was timely honored. We were seated in one of the tables for 2 against the back wall - with a banquette on one side. The table was fine but I would have liked slightly more space in between tables, so that I didn't feel as if I was sitting at a communal table. After an uncomfortable hard sell on a bottle of wine (we already had undrunk cocktails from the bar placed in front of us), the server came over and convinced me to order the pork chop over the scallops. 5 minutes after our order was placed, our neighbor received the scallops, which looked incredible (4 massive scallops with a brght green pea puree). I had buyer's remorse for a little while until our entrees arrived. We split the oysters (6) for $17, which is about the same price point as NY - they were very fresh, briny with a pleasant sweetness. Homemade mignonette sauce was particularly good. Strangely, there no accompaniment of horseradish or cocktail sauce though. We also had the fried chicken livers, which were not hot (not sure if that was by design) but they were crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside - served with a plum sauce that I thought was slightly bitter. As for entrees - as the other reviewers have noted, the pork chop was incredible - smoky and sweet. The cheesy polenta it came with was decadent and the barbecued onions were excellent. My wife ordered the ribeye, which was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The 6am breakfast was probably one of the most memorable desserts I have ordered from a restaurant. I am a chocolate person but the maple bacon ice cream is probably the best ice cream I have ever tasted. Also, as a side note, the Hot and Dirty martini was one of the best martinis I have had. Tito's vodka, hot sauce and blue cheese stuffed olives - fantastic. I want to give the restaurant 4.5 stars but I have to round down for not so commensurate service. Unnecessary hard sell on the wine, bread basket did not come out until after our appetizers were finished, and we had to request the cookies that are supposed to come with your bill.
