Amazing everything. The food is incredible. Almost everything I’ve had there I love. Drinks are fantastic as well. The staff…that’s the best part of this place. The staff are the sweetest kindest folks you’ll ever meet. Everyone from the hosts to the servers to the head chef go above and beyond to make you feel like family.

The food was mostly good. Not good enough that we'd ever come back though or even recommend it friends. The atmosphere was weird, but mostly because the staff was overly snobby...not the staff, just the young man at the host station. He was probably just young and awkward, but it sure came across as snobby. Anyway, try it if you want, but don't waste your money on the chocolate cake. It was absolute junk. The rest of the food was decent enough.

Pro: Though situated in an anonymous looking mall, Lola's is alright! The food was quite delicious and our waiter, Christian, was very affable, efficient & attentive, even though he seemed to have a lot of tables. Prices for the quality of the meal were more than fair: a comparable meal in our own city would have been much more expensive. Con: no one on staff was masked and no patrons other than us were either. This was during the height of the Covid Omicron outbreak. Thus we felt really uncomfortable upon our initial entrance, a little like martians, but eventually our aforementioned waiter (and a couple of drinks) took the edge off. I def got the sense that Kansas didn't have the strongest masking culture, which is a shame.

Worst work environment Iv have ever experienced in 23 years of working in kitchens. The owner (I will not refer to him as a chef) was completely rude and disrespectful to new employees

Love Lola’s! The food and service is extraordinary. We dined at Lola’s on Valentine’s Day. The special menu was unique and everything delicious. Michael and his staff did everything perfectly. Despite this being one of the big date nights, out of respect and care for their customers and staff, they limited reservations and appropriately spaced tables. We were very comfortable and Christian treated us to an always fabulous evening!

Reserved a valentine's dinner for 4 and was looking forward to the special dinner of beef Wellington. Our party was seated and we waited for 15 minutes before the server came to our table. It was then that we were informed that there was no Wellington available. They had no other beef entree and offered only chicken and a seafood ravioli. Our entree consisted of 4 ravioli and an undercooked chicken dish. Extremely disappointed by both the service and lack of planning for what should have been a special night out.

My wife and I heard how this place was so amazing but I think other wise. The place is actually clean and service was good but the food is way over priced and the portions are small. We had chicken skewers for our appetizer and they came out way over cooked, salty, and were previously frozen. The entrée we had were also way under par. My wife had the duck. It was somehow overcook but Luke warm at best. It also tasted like it had been frozen. Same with my stuffed chicken. It was dry and over cook and also like warm and tasted frozen. I feel bad for the servers there because the place was empty and they have to serve sub par food that has been frozen. I bet if the place had more business, the food wouldn’t have to be frozen to preserve it.

This place is a gem. Fantastic food Great bar. The best staff you could ask for. Emily is the best. Michael is a perfect owner with true vision. The food is fantastic but the whole experience is going to blow you away. I’m traveling from St Louis which is a great food town. I wish this place was in St. Louis. You have a gem here Wichita. Support it!

What a great Bistro with a diverse menu. I had the Walu and it was perfectly prepared. The rice and sauce were also very good. My wife had the stuffed chicken and it was also good. The last time I had the pork belly and will get it again. Service was excellent and Mojito’s are very tasty.We drive from the west side because of the atmosphere and diversity
Fantastic fish and chips. They use haddock which turned out to be fluffy and moist with a nice crisp breading. Very nice place to eat.

It is a quaint place that has a sweet and peaceful feel to it! The dishes were different but very tasty! The wine was tasteful and satisfying! I would recommend it, strongly!! Sweet place!

I love to share this little gem...greeted graciously at the door. The servers are well informed about the menu and the wine selection, yes, we had a bottle! Everyone at the table is treated to a delicious morsel to whet the appetite. The menu, while limited, is excellent. Desserts are made in-house and are worth every calorie. And a small treat to send each diner on their way, thinking about the next foray into Lola's Bistro is a sweet delight.To top it off- all of this wonderful goodness, for a small price.One of my favorite eateries!

Lola’s came highly recommended by a friend! Was just turned away on a rare date night with my husband because we didn’t have a reservation. Restaurant was empty. Reason given was that they were short-staffed, which is totally understandable. But perhaps make it clear on your website/social media/etc that reservations are recommended, so tired parents don’t waste their time driving to your restaurant!
