So lucky to get a table last night after just rocking up. We loved this place. We had the whipped feta, mushroom risotto, and a cheese plate. Roland, our waiter, gave great service - wish we had someone like him in England. Highly recommended.

Lolita’s Wine Market provided catering services for our cocktail hour. Kelly was very pleasant to talk to. The price was reasonable and our guests very much enjoyed what they had to offer. The charcuterie display was eye-catching. They accommodated our guests' special dietary needs, including severe nut allergies, vegan, and gluten free. We had our first date at their restaurant and now we can vouch for their catering services!

The place is adorable and serves fantastic food and drinks, but they need to update their advertising for the first-come, first-served patio. When it's busy, they only take reservations or add you to the waitlist, which isn't mentioned in anywhere.

First time at the new location and it did not disappoint. Had the Italian board and some spreads and tapas. They have not missed a beat. We sat outside very nice atmosphere and service was excellent. Oh and wine was great also. Highly recommend.
Loved the atmosphere. Situated in the old train station makes it unique. We sat outdoors because the weather was nice. Ordered a range of food and everything was great. The service was great at first, but slowed once it got busier. That’s understandable; I just made it a little difficult for all of us to pay and get to a show. Were things got a little bit rough for us was with the wines. You have to scan the wine list, which ordinarily is not a big deal. However, all four of us misunderstood the pricing. It appears as though the glasses are around 7.50. The poor were relatively small, so we thought that was fair. When our checks came, all of our wines were double that price. We were told that that is a sipping price, or something like that. We agreed that that should be something that the server tells us. Because it isn’t easy to understand and doesn’t make for a good ending to what was a nice experience.

Waiters were nice, food was good, but we won't come back on a Friday. Our waiter talked up their short rib dish, which he mentioned had just been featured in the newspaper, and we ordered it - but after finishing the rest of our food and waiting quite a while for it we were ready to go and not hungry anymore. The charcuterie that we ordered and did get was missing one of the meats that we ordered, and it was difficult to flag our waiter down for this and other things like refills on water and wine.

The restaurant is not big, but it feels pretty good. Due to limited time, I can only come here to taste the brunch. I feel that the restaurant mainly sells red wine, so there is no coffee item for brunch?. We had to order black tea to go with our brunch. Friends who have the opportunity to come here should give it a try. I feel that the atmosphere here at night is very suitable for ordering a bottle of red wine with the chef's food. It should be very good. You can see the chef's care from the color decoration of the tables and chairs and the presentation of the brunch. ??

One of the best meals I’ve had in St. Petersburg. Highly recommended.
Our server Roland was amazing , his knowledge of wine and suggestions was really impressive , he made our experience . The inside is adorable , as is the outdoor seating , it was a chilly night so we opted for inside it had an old San Juan Vibe .The food was equally as delicious, however everything was VERY rich. The wine choices were also pretty good for by the glass , I appreciated their conversational pour.I thought their tapas were a bit pricey, however , they did give LARGE portions . Much larger than any other tapas restaurant I've been.Will return .

One of my favorite restaurants in Saint Pete. The food and drinks are 10/10 - most notably their mushroom risotto and beef short rib on mac n cheese gnocchi was a religious experience. I cannot wait to go back and try more on the menu. Also their cheese boards are very robust for the price - great mix of cheese/meats, crunch, fruit, bread, veggies. This place is great for a date night or for a girls night to have some wine and split a cheeseboard.

Lolita’s generally does not miss!!! The food was incredible, the server was wonderful, the wine pairing was magnificent. My only complaint is that the host really was not personable at all, and set our experience off the wrong way. I don’t know if he was having a bad day or if he was really fatphobic or something but luckily our server and the food turned it around.
Savannah was absolutely amazing ! In every way ! Thanks for an amazing experience and suggestions ! Lovely wine and food paring Thanks again !

All around 5 stars!We have been going to Lolita's for years now and just experienced their new location at Morean Clay Center.A historic train station turned into a clay studio and art center.We LOVED eating outdoors in their new space. It will definitely be great during the fall, winter, and spring, but summer will be difficult.They do offer inside seating but it is a smaller space over all. Hopefully they will be able to expand into part of the station.They were forced to move from their old location as it's being torn down for a new apartment complex.While the location has changed, their food and wine remain superb!The food is ALWAYS excellent!We have never had anything bad at Lolita's.Their tres leches was served in a coconut with conunte meat still intact. That was fun to see placed in front of us.Parking should not be a problem, unless the clay center is having an event.They have brunch on Sundays 10:30am - 1:30pm head to their website to make reservations.Their staff is always on point, but last night I really enjoyed listening to Roland with his guests. I could tell he is super passionate about food and enjoys sharing what Lolita's has to offer it's guest. I will be asking for him as a server on our next visit.Our dishes:Charcutier board: Black Pepper Salami, Rosemary Ham, Palacuos Chorizo, honey with honey comb, truffled goat cheese peppadews (one of my favorites), Cabernet berry jam, via arra bread+crackers, manchego, and two other cheeses.. I can't remember the names.Cold Plate: Truffle Focaccia - black truffle mushroom ricotta, grana padano, truffle honey, mad n salt, baby arugula.Hot Plates:Scallops - ancho-espresso spiced, butternut squash ravioli, apple-jicama slaw, sage mojo.Beef Short Ribs - gorgonzola-cracjed pepper gnocchi fondue, tempranillo demi, wild mushroom gremolata, crispy shallotsDessert: Tres Leches Cake - sponge cake, 3 milks, pineapple compote, toasted coconut, meringue, served in a coconutThey have an extensive wine list online. There is a QR Code on the table that will take you to their wine menu.Don't forget to leave them a review here on Yelp and on Google Business!I hope you enjoy them as much as we have over the years.
