Wow! What an experience! Outdoor seating is unique and the perfect weather was a bonus. Service is solid with a knowledgeable waitstaff. The sangria and wines are on point. The Ceviche and Fabada Soup are excellent starters. The Paella was the best. We ordered the combo. It was full of seafoods and meats. Great meal and ready to go back soon.

Amazing , food portions were perfect for two. The food was outstanding and the service was everything I expected as a former server. Highly recommend to anyone!

Amazing food and restaurant! The garlic mushrooms were incredible but the star of the show was the rack of lamb! Make sure you wash them down with their red sangria!

Best dish was the garlic shrimp appetizer , ordered a Caesar salad. ( didn't received ) Brussels sprouts couldn't cut with a fork and knife , meat paella was average. Enjoyed the flamingo music and dancers. Dining outdoor was very pleasant..

My friend and I had a wonderful time at Lola's for dinner as a birthday celebration. The atmosphere was quaint and cozy and the paella was to die for! Remember if you would like the paella, you have to order it about 45 minutes in advance as it takes that long to prepare this delicious dish but the atmosphere is so great the time will pass quickly. Also the red sangria and flourless chocolate cake were delightful.

You need to make a reservation as seating is limited. We chose indoor seating. It's a bit tight but manageable. We started with the Crabmeat Tropical. It was very refreshing. My husband ordered the Roasted Duck Breast and I ordered the Seafood Paella. Please be advised that Paella takes between 30 -45 minutes. We didn't have an issue with it. Both entrée came out piping hot. I asked that they leave out the Calamari and they did. Everything was wonderful and our server was very attentive. This may become a regular spot for us.

The food,service, and atmosphere were all outstanding! Paella was better than I had is Spain last fall and the crab and avocado appetizer was delicious! Will definitely go there when I'm back in NOLA!

Paella was great. Not really a tapas place. The Brussel sprouts were in the same sauce as the shrimp, weird.

I’m okay with the place charging for bread and being cashless, but adding a fee for using card when there is no alternative isn’t cool. Just raise the menu prices.

Much better than last couple times but it does not make sense to charge us $9 for using a credit card if you no longer accept cash. Doesn’t make sense.

We’ve been in town for just a week and have been to Lola’s twice, with a third reservation for this upcoming Sunday. The brunch menu is amazing. The short rib is huge and melted in my mouth. Truffle grits are divine. Beautiful presentation. Off the regular menu, the lamb chops were cooked to perfection- the flavor - can’t say enough about our experience. Cocktails are first rate. There were four of us last night and we all walked away 100 percent delighted love love love this restaurant.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. We made a reservation for my partners birthday at 7:15pm and apparently the reservation didn't exist which I see is an ongoing problem here. We were told we wouldn't be sat until 8pm. What was supposed to be a special dinner turned into a very disappointing night. Please do better.
