We arrived late, close to closing time, and the staff made every effort to still give us a delicious and delightful dining experience! The food was tasty and healthy- excellent.
Our visit to Lola was disappointing on every level. We reserved a table for 5 but the had a booth for 4 for us with a chair added to the end. The chair was in the passageway and there was no legroom. The service was slow and rude. After ordering, there was a long wait and just when we thought our food was arriving, our server told us one of our ordered entrees was not available. That entree eventually arrived 10 minutes after the other entrees were served. Nobody enjoyed the dishes they ordered. Some things were way over salted, and others were tasteless. I could go on and on, but there was nothing about Lola's that I can write about positively, so I'll stop now.
Ordered sausage & eggs, potatoes ... arrived w/the sausage cool/cold, server ordered fresh order well cooked ... ditto for my dining partner who had the french toast
Very good food. Greek heritage obvious, but far more than a “Greek restaurant “. Our server was great and we had a relaxed, enjoyable experience. We will return.
The bartender was great. The ambience was nice. However, the kebabs were a little bit charred which reduce the enjoyment. The salmon kebab was excellent and the char was just right. The char on the other two was a bit too much. The halloumi one had entire figs on it and made it a little too chewy. The halloumi was a little overcooked as well The watermelon salad was just some slices of watermelon with Fresno chilies, which made it quite spicy and some dusting of other stuff. I would not recommend that. The Greek spaghetti was surprisingly good. I got the coconut cream pie, which was excellent. My daughter got the pot cream and it was not very chocolatey
The lamb dish was more well done than expected. The seafood tagine included delicious fish but the sauce was very spicy. I asked before ordering and was told it is not spicy. The red pepper appetizer was very fresh and tasty.
The food at Lola is always excellent! It's one of my favorite lunch places in Seattle. The salmon kebabs are the best. Insider tip - ask to have half salad and half potato as sides to get the best of both!
Great food. Waiter gave wonderful recommendations. Wide variety on the menu - was hard to narrow down!
Great service and yummy food but we were disappointed that the skewers we shared came with nothing but the meat. Be sure to order a salad or veggie or pitas along with them if you want skewers to be your whole meal.
Another stellar dinner at Lola's-one of my top 5 fav spots in Seattle. Delicious food, great service, innovative libations-alway consistent, I know I'm always going to have a great meal and a fun time too! Great spot to go to b/4 a show at the Moore.

I'm Turkish and know how kebab should taste like. Their kebab was a joke, they put ouzo to hot plate to impress people. Overpriced and tasteless. Noise level is unbearable.
I really wanted to like this restaurant! I got the octopus hash and the octopus was so chewy and almost inedible which was a bummer because I really love octopus. The hash itself had a bitter, off putting taste to it and the bread that came with it was so burnt I couldn't eat more than a couple bites. The fried egg was good and the fingerling potatoes were ok. My friend had the salmon on toast which she thought was ok but not great. The service was awesome though and the place has a good ambiance.
Could not say more wonderful things about the entire staff. You can tell they love their workplace. The food, eggs benedict and the Greek Scramble was fantastic. Tried the Beet Mule and it was a well-balanced, very refreshing beverage. The donuts where top notch as communicated in all the reviews. Very delicious food!
Service was spotty and food was on. Closes insanely early. We had an 8:45pm reservation on a Thursday and our food came out so fast we hadn't even finished half of our appetizers before mains arrived (and we asked them to hold them despite ordering early due to server request that kitchen was going to close soon). By 10pm we were being rushed out the door. Food was ok, nothing special and service was mediocre. Probably wouldn't dine again.
We celebrated a birthday at Lola and it was such a positive experience! Food was good, service was good! We had a wonderful time!
