My review for the dining experience at Lola are as follow. \n\nOverall rating: 4.5\n\nPlace: 5 stars\nThe restaurant has an open kitchen which is pretty cool to see people cooking. The ambiance of the restaurant is also romantic. It is very good for dating or special event celebration. The wine wall behind the bar is also unique and add interestingness to the place. The restaurant area and bathroom are clean. \n\nService: 5 stars\nThe service is probably one of the most impressive thing I had at my dinner tonight at Lola. The staffs are very friendly and polite. Everyone works with full energy, eagerness, and very efficient. The water and wine are always refilled. Empty plates are always removed instantly. Everything about staff and service here are very impressive.\n\nFood: 3.5 stars\n\n1) Waiting time: 2 stars\nThe reason that I rate food with 3.5 stars came mainly from the significantly long waiting time for food. We were at the restaurant at 5:30 pm on Sunday night and it was not busy at all, especially when comparing with what it will be on Friday and Saturday night. There were about five or six tables around us. An hour later, no one still get their food. I really don't know what really happened in the kitchen. The time we waited for food probably the main reason that we didn't rate Lola 5 stars as it should be.\n\n2) Food itself: 5 stars\nWe ordered Roasted Squash salad, Braised Lamp Shank, Pork chop, Roasted Brussel sprout, and the 6 am special for dessert. Everything was amazing. The roasted squash was probably my least favorite plate. It was just too sweet for me. But, overall, the food were superb. Pork chop and Lamp shank were hand down. We were very happy with the food.\n\nOverall, I think Lola is still a great place for a special event. It was not cheap for sure. We spent almost $200 for our dinner. But, we were overall satisfied with food and service. We hope that the today's kitchen issue was just untypical and not lasting. We look forward to come back here again."^^ . "4"^^ . . "6"^^ .
