I finally made it to Lola's and it definitely lived up to the hype. From the moment we walked in,…read morethe atmosphere stood out. The place has a great energy to it warm, inviting, and the kind of spot where you can sit back and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. Food: The food was absolutely on point. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. One of those meals where every bite reminds you why people keep coming back. No complaints at all just really good food from start to finish. Service: Service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was taken care of throughout the meal. Food came out in a reasonable time and the overall experience felt smooth and welcoming. Ambiance: The ambiance was fire. Cozy, lively, and full of character without feeling overcrowded. It's the type of place that works whether you're on a date night, out with friends, or just looking for a good meal in a great setting. Overall: Great food, great service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. Lola's is easily a spot I'd return to and recommend to anyone looking for a solid dining experience in New Orleans. Definitely going back.

We sat at a table outside which was lovely. But the service and food really missed the mark. We…read moreordered the muscles appetizer and 2-3 of them were bad - the muscles were mushy and fishy and actually made me sick later. The others seemed fresh but I wouldn't say they're tasty. Seems like they are prepared in advance and sit in the fridge until ordered. We also ordered the mushrooms which did not look like the photos I've seen on Yelp, nor did they match the description from the menu. They were little pieces of mushroom smothered by an au jus that did have a bold, tasty flavor. I had been really looking forward to the paella, and was very disappointed. Very minimal flavor. No carmelized rice sticking to the bottom of the cast iron. Bay shrimp. The two black muscles in the dish had zero flavor. Even the garlic aioli served with the bread wasn't good (regular butter would be much better). I wondered why no one came by to ask how our food was tasting. Maybe they knew that the kitchen was falling short that night. One of the servers kindly comped us for drinks because we were forgotten about at first. So that jesture, and the ambience, are the things that earned the stars.

I have been to Rumba for happy hour twice now and both times I have had a great experience! I…read morealways sit at the bar and order practically everything off the happy hour menu. Honestly, I would get everything again except for the tacos. That is not because they are bad, it is just because the other options are so much better! The first time I visited, I got the warm rum bread pudding. The second time, the chef brought out a special French toast bite dessert drizzled with raspberry and warm rum punch sauce, and it was amazing. Between the fantastic drinks, incredible food, cute ass tropical ambience and awesome service at the bar, I will be here faithfully every two weeks until I can not take it anymore! Shout out to Marisol and the awesome crew!

The ambiance and decor at this place were AMAZING! The vibes were phenomenal! My wife and I came…read morehere for lunch, and we were seated promptly with no wait. Our waiter was Emily B., and let me tell you, she was AMAZING! She was very knowledgeable and offered some great recommendations. She did not miss! Emily has to be one of the best servers we've ever had, with her friendly attitude, bubbly personality, and outstanding service. Now, let's talk about the FOOD! We started with the Dominican ribs and coconut shrimp. Both were absolutely delicious! The ribs were so tender, and the shrimp were colossal and packed with flavor. The drinks were so good Of course my head was spinning For our entrées, my wife ordered the blackened mahi fish burger, which she thoroughly enjoyed. I had the Grenada chicken, and it was delicious as well! This place is absolutely beautiful and makes you feel like you've been transported straight to the Caribbean. The outdoor dining area and bar were just as nice, adding to the whole experience. I rarely give out 5 stars, but this place definitely deserves every single one! The atmosphere, food, and service were all top-notch. We will definitely be returning! And a special shout-out to Emily B.--happy early anniversary! Thank you for making our dining experience so memorable!
