    Grilled Salmon lo mein
    Dave F.

    Had a reservation for dinner here. Had no problem getting a table, as it was the last weekend before the season. The ambiance was nice and on the dark side inside that forced the use of the candlelight at the tables. Ended up with a really nice server. No issues with her at all, but the food was a let down. We had ordered the chicken lettuce cups, but they never came. I don't attribute this to our server, but at the end of the day, the entrees had enough food to not need this. We ended up getting the grilled salmon lo mein (water chestnuts, snoew peas, broccoli, carrot, bell pepper and sorrel) and the lola burger (cabot cheddar, red onion compote, foie gras sauce on an english muffin). The burger did come with thick shoestring fries. Food was a little bit of a let down. The grilled salmon itself was pretty good but the lo mein was just okay. Not overly flavorful and unrememberable. The burger was also just okay. The fries were not good. Half soggy and way too salty. We did let the server know about the missing lettuce cups and she took care of it no problem. Very disappointing for a high-end restaurant. This was the least-liked food of the trip.

    Honestly this is just five stars. Perfect 5 stars. My favorite spot on the island. Celebs are in here all the time, the decor is modern and cute. The jazzy, crowded bar atmosphere makes it perfect for date night, but during the day I'd actually say it is pretty child friendly. The prices are high, but it's sushi on Nantucket what do you expect. The sushi is fantastic. Everything we ordered was delicious and the rolls are creative, unlike anything I'd had before. I've been here multiple times and never had a bad experience. The fish is soft and has a clean, true flavor. Might I add, the crab Rangoon were the best I have had in my life. The service is fast and attentive. I cannot wait to come back here.

    terrible nigiri, don't come here

    We called 138 times to get a reservation here from 4pm onwards and got a table at 945, luckily. Expectations were high. These guys are a victim of their own success - we found service to be arrogant and food to be very disappointing. We ordered 6 dishes here: Shrimp tempura - the only good dish we had Salmon Carpaccio with shaved truffle - not worth $5, let alone the $50 they charge for it. Shaved truffle imparts no flavor and the ginger vinaigrette had no flavor ASAHI (A-SA-HEE) - tasteless sushi roll ANATA (A-NA-TA) - half decent sushi roll, nothing to write home about Toro Nigiri - supposed to be their freshest and most expensive nigiri - too much rice, overcooked rice, fish didn't taste fresh LOBSTER FRIED RICE - awful - flavor overpowered by coriander and overall tasteless If you like good food, do not visit. Victim of their own success. We are regular sushi eaters from California, and a low level CA sushi restaurant does a better job. I don't care about the price to quality ratio, the quality isn't worth it period. They also aren't open to feedback as they are back to back full. Tried to give waiter feedback about the sushi and all he said was "I'll take it off the bill" - I don't mind paying for it but it's clear they don't care about feedback and it's a money pit. Don't fall for the trap. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g29527-d642507-r801623354-Lola_41-Nantucket_Massachusetts.html#

    I heard this is one of the best places on Nantucket and I was a little disappointed. We sat outside and a lot more could have been done to the space to add to the ambiance. The service was phenomenal. The food was okay, I had better sushi while visiting cape cod. The Salmon Lo Main was very very good. I would definitely recommend that dish. Overall, I'm not sure I would come back but it was good just not great.

    Lo La 41 is a dimly lit/ moody sushi restaurant in Nantucket. In order to get in you need to call the day of at 4pm. The line gets insanely bogged down but if you keep calling you will persevere! We got through after calling over 100 times. However, the bar is first come first serve which we proceeded to do going forward. I cannot recommend enough their surf & turf rolls or shrimp tempura! My boyfriend and I don't usually choose shrimp tempura; but, we were told it was a favorite by most customers. It didn't disappoint! We honestly loved it so much we came back the next day! We also enjoyed their cocktails - but, fair warning the spicy margarita is spicy!!!

    Lola41 is one of our go-to spots when on the island and I'm surprised I haven't written a review yet... *Ambiance: on a regular, non-covid, weekend night (and summer week days) this place is jammed. it's dark and moody and they usually play their music REALLY loud (which can be a plus or a minus depending). People will crowd around the bar which leaves some tables being squished by standing people... I love the booth to the right of the bar that's tucked into the wall- it's a little tough to get in and out of but it's secluded and a great spot for 4-6 people. *Service: Usually good, sometimes slow if they're really busy. Servers are generally amiable and helpful. The only thing I don't like is that it's obvious, especially in the summer, that the staff is there just to have a good time and I've witnessed them all taking shots together at the bar which is fine, I just would try to be a little less conspicuous about it in front of patrons. The other thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that, due to covid, they were required by the state to shut down at 9:30pm. I made a reservation for 8:00, knowing that we would only have 1.5 hours to enjoy dinner... long story short, we ended up not being seated until 8:20 due to the table before us taking longer than expected... and the staff still wanted us out by 9:30. It was the most rushed dinner of my life and left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth BUT I know that's not standard practice. *Drinks: STRONG. which is the best part, if you ask me. Never had a drink I didn't like here. *Food: usually AMAZING. the best is sushi sunday when sushi is 50% off. It's asian fusion so I typically get sushi but their other dishes are always good too. My husband and I had the most amazing foie gras poutine the weekend we got engaged almost 4 years ago and I still think about it to this day. That's a sign of a good restaurant- if I can remember what I ordered years ago, then it's worth coming back for. Their lobster mac n cheese is also pretty epic- had that for the first time 10 years ago and still remember it!! Overall, great spot with a great (a little scene-y) vibe. I always enjoy my meals here!!

    Lobster sushi - literally the worst thing I have ever eaten.

    Very disappointing. This was probably the meal I was waiting for and looking forward to the most. Innovative, fresh sushi and outdoor seating. Lo la 41 was expensive, small portions, crowded, loud music and most importantly underwhelming. Lola is expensive. The rolls are teeny and the lobster roll (wrapped in cucumber with mint (I think mint) was the single worst dish I have had in a long time and maybe ever. We each had a nibble and no one could even eat a single piece. The combination did not work. I would recommend their ribs but that is really it. We sat outside and got placed under a speaker playing horrible house music at a very loud volume. It was almost torture.

    The parking was a bit sketchy. It is just street parking. Everyone must have been in town because…read morewe had trouble finding a spot. It is located in the center of town so in a house converted into a restaurant. I started out with Tuna Taraki which was five slices of fresh tuna on a bed of curry topped with a sliced plum. It was delicious. As an entree I had the swordfish that was seared. It was a large portion that filled me right up. The waiter was marginal. We asked if he had after dinner port be the glass. A simple request. He disappeared for 15 minutes while he checked. This required a yes or no answer from the kitchen. As it turns out, they did not have it.

After having been brought to our seats at the bar, then told they were reserved, we were walked back outside to sidewalk and into adjacent restaurant's (boarding house) dark & dank -empty- bar (with music blaring), we asked if an outside sidewalk table was available. Yes but we needed to eat & leave by 7:15. It was 6:15. We said yes because we knew (ASSUMED) that was possible. Though there were 3 2-seat tables available, she put at a table almost on top of a table of 6...3 very loud & ill behaved children. And that's where we remained, waiting a while for "server" to ask us for drink order, then finally take our dinner order (never mentioned the specials; I had to ask) and then we waited & waited (meantime 7:15 came & went) for our very small servings of boring (& room temp) cod & even smaller ("share plate"?!?) of crudo. And because the plates most likely sat in kitchen & wee ignored by pit "server" the fish was not hot and the crudo was not cold. Never again Pearl, never again

We do want to come back, but we will do take-out instead. The longer version: I ordered a butter chicken, naan, and the Dynamite Roll. We placed our orders at the counter and sat down at a table. The restaurant is very hot inside and unfortunately they do not have outdoor seating. We received waters promptly. The wait time for food was a tad long but understandable when you see just how many people are steady coming for take-out and with the phone constantly ringing with new orders. Once the food came, it was pretty good! The sushi roll was fantastic. I would order it again. The other items were not the most amazing Indian food I've ever had but still very enjoyable. It satisfied the craving I was having. My naan did not come until we were almost done after I had to ask for it again. It was abnormal but still fluffy and delicious. We did not get water refills until very late in the meal. Next time I plan to try the korma. Overall, the food is good and for a good price. Our service was subpar so I recommend getting it to-go.

One staff member just wanted to put the second half of the order in the same bag and the other didn't understand that - causing confusion for us as well.
