Lola offers a wonderful menu of traditional Puerto Rican cuisine with an international twist. We had a wonderful dinner, with many perfect recommendations from our waiter. The drinks were fantastic! Lola's at the higher end of the price spectrum, so just know that going in, though it is possible to not have to spend too much on dinner. This is... More

Went there on a saturday afternoon. It was packed, so we sat on one of the bar tables. Love the decor and atmosphere. Art on the walls was amazing, by Howard Orsini, a young artist from Ponce. Service was ok. I guess they were not expecting so many people this early. Food was very good. We ordered 5 plus tapas... More

When we arrived at Lola, we were told we would need to wait for a table outside. After waiting awkwardly in the narrow entrance way, we were told our table outside would no longer be available and we could wait at the bar for a table in the main dining room. Once seated at the bar, we were basically ignored... More

Just had lunch at this restaurant... Ordered Mediterranean salad (menu says it is feta cheese) received shaved Parmesan with the worse vinaigrette I have ever tasted in my life. Salad terribly off. The meat quality was good, the sauce completely amateur. Nothing special about the risotto. The Corned Beef dish tasted like a public school lunch to be honest. What... More

Every time I visit my hometown, I always go to Lola with my parents at least once. Great food and great service. Sometimes it's better to make a reservation as it gets busy. Fantastic Puerto Rican food with a twist!

I love this restaurant. The ambiance is great and so is the food. I have visited this restaurant on three ocassions and it has never failed to fulfill our high expectations. The complimentary bread with balsamic vinegar is awesome. The service is very good. I recommend Lola for its location and for its creative cuisine.

The best cup of coffee we had on our trip, so strong I added lots of hot milk. Service was a bit slow, but, hey, we were on vacation. But some New Yorkers, waiting to be served before they got on their tour bus, were very annoyed....just made us smile in amusement.

As other reviewers stated the location gives you pause. However, the ambiance was lovely. Being valentines day they only had a special menu, which was not in English. They kindly found an English speaking employee to explain the menu to us. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The pace was relaxing and unrushed. We would definitely return here for...
