“An Unforgettable Culinary Experience – Bravo, Chef Jeremiah & Chef Ronaldo! This restaurant is a true masterpiece in every sense. From the moment you arrive, you’re met with a warm, upscale ambiance, impeccable service, and a menu that reflects world-class talent in the kitchen. The culinary brilliance of Chef Jeremiah and Chef Ronaldo shines through in every dish. The Secreto Ibérico was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, while the Pata Negra and J5 jamón were carved with precision and absolutely divine. The Paella was a standout—rich, perfectly seasoned, and filled with fresh seafood that brought authentic Spanish flavors to life. The wine list is just as impressive—featuring selections from around the globe. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just enjoy a great glass of wine, the staff is happy to guide you through pairings that elevate every bite. This isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience. A celebration of flavor, technique, and passion. Huge compliments to Chef Jeremiah and Chef Ronaldo for creating something truly special. I can’t wait to return!“

“I came to Ceviche specifically for the ceviche, and it did not disappoint! The fish was incredibly fresh, perfectly marinated, and bursting with bright citrus flavors. The balance of acidity, spice, and seasoning was spot on, making each bite refreshing and satisfying.

The portion size was pretty reasonable for 2 people, the presentation was beautiful. I also appreciated the variety of ceviche options on the menu, catering to different tastes and different fish.

I’d say the only catch is, is a glass of wine will run you about 15+ a glass and the service could be better. Other than that, it’s a great place to splurge on one of the best ceviche places in town!

“Very clean, very nice apartment. The pool and the staff were perfect! But, the big story is the wildlife. DOLPHINS, DOLPHINS AND MORE DOLPHINS!!“

““Charcuterie? More like Char-cu-dreamy.”

Listen, if I were a mouse with a credit card and refined taste, I would absolutely blow my tiny rodent salary at Lolita’s Wine Market every single weekend. This place is cheese-and-meat heaven, and frankly, it should be illegal to have this much flavor under one roof.

First of all, let’s talk boards. You think you're going in for a cute date night, next thing you know you’re six cheeses deep into The Lola Board wondering if you should text your ex just to show them what they’re missing. (Spoiler: don’t. Just order more prosciutto.)

We went full send with the Gambas al Ajillo and Paella, and let me tell you, I blacked out from joy somewhere between “jumbo shrimp” and “chimichurri.” I came back to consciousness with a spoonful of Fire + Ice ceviche, which sounds like a Game of Thrones spin-off, but instead, it’s ahi tuna with lychee, jalapeño, and a granita that slapped me across the soul.

The dates (not your Hinge match, the edible kind) were stuffed with chorizo and gorgonzola, and I’m still emotionally recovering. Sweet, spicy, creamy, and possibly magical. If Cupid made tapas, this would be it.

Need to feel fancy? Order the Delice de Bourgogne triple cream and say it loudly so the whole patio knows you have impeccable taste and probably own a cheese knife set. Then hit ‘em with a duck mousse port wine pâté chaser because life’s short and pâté is a flex.

Wine? Yes, obviously. Pair it with everything. Pair it with your thoughts. Pair it with that internal voice that says, “Get the pineapple-date chutney too.” (Spoiler: It’s right.)

Pro tip: Don’t skip the spreads. The whipped feta and ricotta were so divine I briefly considered smearing them directly on my face. They come with ciabatta, but I could’ve eaten them with a flip-flop and still been thrilled.

In short, Lolita’s isn’t just a wine bar—it’s a lifestyle. It’s where cheese dreams go to be fulfilled, and where even the dates (again, the food kind) are stuffed with ambition. If you’re not here by sundown with a glass in hand and a beet carpaccio in your mouth, wyd???

I’d give it 6 stars if I could. One for each cheese-induced tear of joy.“

“I had the best panini (spinach and artichoke) and cappuccino at this little Cafe. Go! Even if you don't enjoy museums...“

“Stopped by last night (Valentine’s day) for oysters and cocktails after having a truly terrible experience at a neighboring restaurant.When we arrived, I was absolutely starving and feeling a bit down from our dinner experience. The oysters and cocktails were perfect, and instantly lifted the mood. The Vinoy is a wonderfully romantic setting, and the bar staff was so sweet and accommodating taking a picture when I asked. Highly recommend for any date night.Just wanted to say thank you to the bar staff. Y’all are phenomenal! ❤️“

“This is a near-perfect rooftop location with views of the ICW and Gulf all around you. The ambience is enhanced by the magnificent views and the terrific tapas that is their typical offering. We were very pleasantly surprised by the addition of a Sunday Brunch service which was the best we have had on the Gulf Coast.“

“Rick was the most amazing bartender I’ve ever had. The word “amazing” doesn’t even serve it justice. The selection of liquor here is absolutely insane. We had a Smith and Cross custom cocktail alongside a craft cocktail off their house menu and both were phenomenal. We ended our night with an ultra rare bottle of Del Maguey Pechora Mezcal and it brought a tear to my eye. We were here for one night out of the whole year and this place absolutely solidified to us that it’s the best bar in the area, with the best bartender to host the occasion. If I could give it ten stars! Phenomenal bar!“

“Excellent and friendly service“

“Had an amazing experience at The Lure yesterday for my daughter’s 22nd birthday. We were able to enjoy our meal with our dogs too!! Great service, great food (the Onolicious is something special) and super super dog friendly. Thank you!!“
