Restaurant was not even half full and hostess sat us in the very back corner against the wall by the restrooms, we had a reservation.

Once you start getting your order, the plates slowly come out two or so at a time. Each plate had different qualities and a completely different flavor profile so I will review them all separately. Service while European took some getting used to. The owner is the only waiter which causes some delays. It's probably for the best as it allows them time to create the meal for you, but I believe it is important to acknowledge this in a review. Olives were a 5/5, very soft and fleshy and delicious unlike other restaurants in the area. Nothing much more to say. Good olives. Patatas were a 5/5; they were pleasantly fried and had a nice alioli. Not traditional but still good. Desperately begged for a sprinkle of salt on top of them though Ceviche was a 4/5, good flavor and texture on the shrimp and fish but were a bit too vinigary for my liking. The salad was the best part of it and was balanced perfectly. Mushrooms were a 5/5, they were just crimini mushrooms but the sauce was perfect for them. I ended up using the cracker that came with the jamón to soak it up. Jamón and chorizo were a 5/5, the sheep's cheese was delicious and you can never go wrong with meat and cheese. I preferred removing the cracker that came with them, though. Calamari steak was a 5/5 and my personal favorite. I've never had just tender and delicious squid. The owner prides himself on simple recipes and I'd have to say that this really showcased that. I could taste (and identify) nearly every flavor present in the dish just on one bite. The best part of the meal. The tortilla was my least favorite part and was a 1/5. I hate to say it, but I believe it was bad. It just tastes like a latke, but is not crispy and is very thick causing a bland and boring sensation. I finished my meal with an espresso with a pour of brandy. Espresso was strong and lovely and was a nice way to end the meal. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you love food and don't mind a wait, because it is definitely worth it.

Went to Lola's for Mother's Day brunch and honestly the short rib and grits completely stole the…read moreshow. The short rib was so tender it literally melted in your mouth. The grits were creamy, rich, and paired perfectly with the savory sauce and vegetables. One of those dishes where everybody at the table keeps sneaking bites off your plate. I also tried the steak and eggs over potatoes which was good too. The steak was cooked well and the potatoes were seasoned nicely, but after tasting those short ribs, nothing else really stood a chance. For the appetizer we ordered this fancy oyster dish that I cannot pronounce to save my life lol, but it was actually really good. Crispy, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Definitely a great starter if you want something a little different. The restaurant itself has such a charming atmosphere. The floral wallpaper, vintage decor, fresh flowers on the tables, and cozy setup made it feel warm and intimate without trying too hard. It was busy for Mother's Day brunch but still felt relaxed and enjoyable. Definitely a spot I'd go back to, especially for those short ribs and grits alone.

It's just downright delicious and filling too. The bartender was a bit awkward. She said she'd only worked there for two months, so maybe she is still trying to find her rhythm.

In contrast, our server tonight, Carima, along with the manager on duty, Alex, was attentive and provided the best service we've experienced here to date.

The place is also really small. It's almost like a little hole in the wall. The BEST things offered, were the agua fresca and the guacamole.... Which the guac and chips were $16. Crazy price honestly. But the flavor definitely made up for it. But as for my entree, I chose the steak and shrimp combo. The shrimp stuck to the shell, the steak was dry and a bit flavorless (it's a t bone... and I have pork chops at the house that are much thicker). The rice in the dish? Amazing. I would only change the amount of garlic used, as it was extremely powerful. Ended up spending $100 on lunch to not truly enjoy it. I'm not bashing the place by any means. I just hope that kitchen changes a few things.

We had the crispy cauliflower served with tempura, cashew habanero crema, garbanzo hash, and chimichurri. Loads of flavor and just the right bite size for tapas/apps. Plates include churrasco, fish and grits, paella (can be served veggie or without shellfish if you're allergic), lamb, Yucatan style pork, shrimp or steak mofongo, and chicken poblano. I had the churrasco, served with papas bravas. Steak cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly. My husband had the steak mofongo and the beef tips, like the churrasco, were seasoned perfectly. The plantain mash was sweet and somehow savory at the same time. We loved both dishes.

The restaurant is small and quaint. It was packed by the time we were leaving and it was nice to be in such a lively place. My only recommendation would be better training of staff. Several times things were reached over, and the server did not understand my questions or have knowledge about menu ingredients.
