The food was impeccable, service superb and ambience dreamy. ? Come hungry for the food and stay for the company and drinks ?. This was the perfect small and intimate birthday celebration location. I would highly recommend it and would most definitely come back for dinner again. Hope you enjoy as much as I have!!!
This is some of the best food I’ve ever had. Period. It is all meticulously prepared and the presentation is stunning! But as good as the food looks, it truly shines in taste. The mushroom pizza was so complex and layered, it is a must order. LOLA sources many of their ingredients from their own farms in Long Island. This is great not only for the quality, but sustainability as well! Highly, HIGHLY recommend getting out to this restaurant at least once in your life.
Took my wife for an early, quiet dinner. Had the fattoush, mushroom malawach and a branzino. All staples of the Lola menu. Somehow, each dish tasted better than ever before. I get that feeling every time. What an amazing restaurant.

Food was very interesting- everything very tasty. Our server was terrific- did not oversell ( which I hate!) Suggest going with 4 or more because sharing is the way to go- we were a table of 8 and ordered 8 appetizers and only 2 entrees and it was plenty! Orders were 4 and 4 appetizers and 1 entree per 4 people but one side of the table tasted here and there from the other and vice versa. Highly recommend!

Lola is still our favorite restaurant!!! We brought friends who had never been there before and they were delighted. Everything is on point- food, staff, atmosphere. There's always a good energy in the room which always makes for a great evening. Thank you to everyone!!!!!

I've been wanting to get to Lola for years and finally did. It was as good as everyone said. Bartender was awesome. Best French Martini! And our server couldn't have been more kind and helpful. The food was outstanding. Obviously had the pate which complimented the duck we shared. Hummus best I've ever had. Can't wait to go back.

amazing service! top notch food! lot for me to eat as a vegan. very nice vibe and awesome staff.
Lola's is the most wonderful restaurant and absolutely our favorite. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable, Lenny Messina is a master chef and never disappoints. The staff are the very best and are always warm and friendly. They are very attentive and always make sure our dining experience is totally perfect. The food is the best. A new item on the menu was a mushroom malwach which was over the top delicious. The crush was like a croissant rich and buttery. The onions and garlic creme on top were mouthwatering. The cod with sunflowers special was an unexpected surprise. Cant wait to have it again. The potato gratin special was rich and creamy an absolute must as are the babaganoush, hummus & roasted cauliflower. My absolute favorite is the foie gras at Lola. The most delicious food on earth. Chase all this down with a grey goose martini and you'll be happy for days.

Best restaurant in Great Neck! Food is artfully prepared with attention to flavor and presentation. Everything is delicious... but I especially recommend their honey squash, baba ganoush, feta dip, mushroom malawach, lamb malawach and branzino. Save room for their halva parfait.... it's heavenly! The staff is friendly and attentive and the ambiance is warm and embracing -- equally suitable for a date night, family night out or gathering with friends.

Menu has been simplified. A few things removed (like my fave burger) and a few things added (new chicken dish and a spicy shrimp dish). Service is always warm and friendly. Food comes out of the kitchen quickly. Room gets a little loud once all filled up. But, it's a great sign that it's all filled up! Bottom line is that this continues to be a neighborhood gem.
