    Food was excellent but the service was less than expected. Would have liked to have ordered another sangria but couldn't get my waiter. I asked another waiter, and got the response "I'll let your waiter know" still nothing till we finished our meal. At that point, we just got the check and left.

    Loved this place. Spanish classics (tapas and paella) with a definite southern influence. Dishes were excellent. Staff was engaging. And the open kitchen made for a lively vibe. If you’re visiting NOLA or an actual local, definitely worth the visit.

    I have always loved Lola’s the cocktails are divine and the wine selection is lovely. I am particularly fond of their ceviche, Brussels sprouts and rainbow trout. Their salads are delicious and shareable. The service from the host and the wait staff was excellent.

    As always the food was excellent and it’s a beautiful spot. This time around, however service wasn’t as great and we were made to feel very rushed by the end of our visit
