    one golden brown pancake
    Diana S.

    Lola is a cute corner spot in the downtown area. I came in on an early weekday morning before a conference to grab the pancakes and maple sausage that I'd heard about so much. The service was kind and attentive - especially when they confirmed that I could get a single pancake to complement my breakfast. The pancake was the star! I recommend this place for a great breakfast!

    Spread sampler, freshly grilled pita
    Jenny Z.

    Service was friendly and there was plenty of seating inside with mood lighting. No reservations needed as we just walked in on a weekday around 7:30 pm. The server came up to greet us and make suggestions. We tried their grape leaves rice rolls, Bean Shakshuka, and pita bread dip with olive and figs. Everything was priced quite high and did not really hit the spot for me. I wasn't a big fan of the grape leaves rice rolls. Their pita bread with fig and olive dip was recommended by the server and was told you wouldn't taste the olive but olives were the only thing you could taste..and I am not a fan of olives :( The bean Shakshuka was probably the best. It came with 2 slices of toasted bread, a warm slightly mild tomato base, cheese, and beans. Pretty good! I also don't know why there is a door directly inside the hotel that leads to this restaurant inside, but they have a signage to go around .. meaning to go outside in the COLD OR SNOW (yes it was snowing at midnight) to enter the restaurant from their front door. If I'm staying at this hotel, it would be nice to have direct access to the restaurant inside. Would come back if I'm staying at the Andra again, but would probably order their breakfast menu instead.

    Saganaki & Pan seared sea scallops

    A few friends and I went out to Lola on a Saturday night. We made a reservation, which probably wasn't strictly needed with our arrival around 6 PM, but the restaurant was pretty full by the time we left. The overall vibe of the restaurant is great - very New York with just one long sitting area with the kitchen at the back basically. Our booth had a nice view of Virginia street. The food was good - the scallops and saganaki particularly stood out. My only complaint was the prices. We opted for skewers, but were quickly told that a side would be needed in order to feel full. While the Greek spaghetti was good, it was pretty basic for a $17 price tag, combined with a $21 cheese and fig fig skewer that only had a 6 or so pieces each of fig and cheese. Beer is also a little expensive for the area at $9 a pint. Overall nice and near a major bus arterial, but would likely only come back with out of town guests if showing them around downtown Seattle and we needed a fancy and conveniently located restaurant.

    Pear French Toast Shakshuka
    Matthew S.

    Good breakfast and brunch pass through, perfect for corporate stays nearby swinging over from hotels. Nice mixes and overall portions for singular or very shareable time in the space. A simple diner by feel, but the taste steps above any basic diner recipes and does well at what it aims for. Overall a worthwhile brunch for a small group. The space is small enough that I would generally want to avoid it when very crowded.

    Spanikopita
    Maggie B.

    Went here for Valentine's Day dinner and it was quite lovely! The wine was excellent--we got the Orcas Project Sangiovese and the Sellas Agiorgitiko. For dinner, we had one of the Valentine's Day specials, Imam Byaldi, which was a very tasty eggplant dish. We also got spanakopita, which I was delighted to find out was vegan. It was pretty good, especially for a vegan version. The star of the show was truly the dessert. We got the doughnuts and the hazelnut malted milk cremeaux. Both of them were incredible! It was busy for the holiday but service was still excellent. I dropped my napkin and one of the employees who was bussing tables went above and beyond to pick it up and get me a new one before I even noticed I dropped it! My only complaint is that the plates, table, and glassware all needed to be scrubbed a little more. Overall great experience and good food! I'd like to come back and try brunch sometime.

    I have been wanting to try this place for so long and it took a really long time to actually get a reservation. You have to book in advance for brunch definitely. My friends and I ordered the Greek scramble, Octopus Hash, Kebab plate, and donuts to share. The Greek scramble was 10 out of 10. The eggs were delicious and the toast was perfectly cooked. I love how buttery it was too. We also got the potatoes on the side for both of our options and I would definitely recommend that - they're very crispy and flavorful. My friends also liked the other two options. I didn't get to try them because they were meat. The donuts were also good but they're just typical donuts. I would probably recommend going somewhere else for dessert across the street. There is a bakery with great cookies and dessert options. Inside is very nice they kept the shades down which made the place very dark. I wish they would let the light in but still it's a very cozy feeling.

    House Cured Gravlax
    Katherine L.

    Delicious food, fabulous staff, and cozy decor! I've been to Lola about three times in as many years, and every time I wonder why I don't go more often! My husband and I shared the doughnuts, I had the gravlax, and he had the Lola breakfast. The doughnuts are fluffy and warm, the gravlax was generously portioned, and the fried potatoes and breakfast sausage are truly unique to Lola in the most delicious way. Their espresso was not good though- it somehow both lacked flavor and was too bitter? I could not get myself to drink that ounce-and-a-half of espresso, even with a sugar cube. And I am not a coffee connoisseur. Even for Seattle standards, it was a pricey meal. The three dishes and an espresso came out to almost $75. I would certainly go back and recommend it to others from out of town, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to go back.

    French toast 10/10
    Karen D.

    Delicious breakfast! I had the French toast, it had a chai whipped cream and poached pears, omg. Amazing. My friend had the shashuka. We sat at the bar and had great service.

    Jennifer D.

    Had a long layover Seattle and had to stop in for these goodies. The doughnuts never disappoint. Let's not forget to add blueberry or mascarpone for the perfect bite

    Great atmosphere... Welcome to Lolas.

    We were staying not too far from here and asked for a fun place for breakfast. Everyone recommended Lola. That was a smart move. Very comforting atmosphere here. We were brought to our seat immediately and our server came right over to bring water and menus. Both myself and my wife seem to order the same thing all the time. I am two over easy with link sausages and she is two very well (kill them) with well done bacon. They did a nice job here that everything was extremely tasty and FRESH. Nice clean tasty eggs and sausage and bacon that defiantly did not come out of the freezer. It's funny how you can taste freshness. Their breads are clearly of a homemade style and they have their own homemade jams. I am sure we'll be back in the Seattle area and Lola will definitely be a breakfast or lunch spot for us.

    We really enjoyed Lola's. The service was great. We made reservations so we were seated right away. Brunch started with the warm donuts and they were perfection. The pancakes were the best buttermilk I have had. Spot on. My son liked the French toast but didn't love the sauce. He felt it had too much citrus and was a tad crusty on the top. It was good and the fresh fruit was perfect. The side of eggs were just that, nothing special. The atmosphere was loud but joyful. There were many groups there. We would recommend Lola and plan to go back again.

    Washington sockeye salmon
    Rebecca L.

    Lola's delivered a nice dining experience. The atmosphere was vibrant and energetic--perfect for a fun night out. We sampled a variety of dishes and everything was fresh and flavorful. Highlights include watermelon salad, beet salad, grilled salmon kebabs, rosemary fries, and eggplant dip. Great food, great vibe-- happy to have dined here.

    Salmon Kabobs
    Alex G.

    Sadly, I had forgotten that I've tried Lola before! It's a great restaurant with a warm vibe. It is really busy, but the service is attentive. The server disappeared a couple times but that gave our group ample time to soak up the energy of the place and catch up with each other, and this was only after times where they had already tried to take our order promptly. I tried some Kabobs and the beet salad. Everything was good, though I expected the Kabobs to be a bit more flavorful. What really caught my attention, though, were a couple dishes other people ordered! The seafood tangine and the shakshuka looked incredible! I want to come back and try both. I liked the mocktail option that I chose, and because it came in a can, i was able to tell that it happened to be low in calories too. Their cocktail menu looked nice, and maybe next time I'll imbibe. The prices, while slightly high, were more reasonable than I expected. A great place for dates, groups, or even catching up with a buddy at the bar. I'm excited to come back and try more of the menu!

    Do they need reservations for brunch?

    Preferably to be safe. They're really popular over the weekend!

    Can you make a vegan eggs Benedict? Can you replace the egg yolks with silken tofu and the butter with something like Earth Balance to make it ethical? You could also replace the poached eggs with Just Egg or another easy to find and cheap egg.

    Hi we are unable to make a vegan benedict as hollandaise is made using butter and eggs. We can make you poached eggs with sautéed greens on an English muffin if that would work .… Read more

    Is 18% service fee mandatory?

    It was on our bill. I usually tip 20% so our server lost out a bit. But yes, it appears to be mandatory based on my experience.

    Any vegetarian options?

    Yes, they can customize anything on the menu into a vegetarian meal.

    If you eat at Lola, do they validate parking?

    No.

    Is there a park for cars?

    No, but there's plenty of parking lots all around Lola. I usually park a couple blocks down.

    Is there anyone to change the salmon in the eggs Benedict for any other type of meat?

    You can definitely ask to change the meat in the eggs bene! They are very accommodating!

    Do you offer any gluten free options?

I swear I could eat those every single day if I could. The combo silog was awesome too because you get a little bit of everything, so it's perfect if you wanna try multiple Filipino breakfast staples in one plate. The whole place just felt super homey and comforting. Service was exactly what you'd expect visiting a Filipino household: warm, welcoming, and genuine. You really feel taken care of here.

You order at the front before being seated which means food arrives shortly after sitting down. With that noted, I wouldn't return to wait that long. First visit, to try a relatively famous spot, sure. Inside is a bit tight, but conversation can be had. My friends got the lumpia-silog and bistek-silog. Lumpia was tasty, but not particularly outstanding. Bistek was dry. The beef was tough to chew, seasoned alright on the outside but likely overcooked if not old. I opted for the oxtail silog which was delicious but pricey. Oxtail Silog - for $29, this plate definitely gets a double take. After waiting in the hour line, I figured I should commit for a tasty meal. Oxtail comes in a side bowl alongside a bit of hearty broth which the rice absorbs well. Meat is tender, falls off the bone, but pulling around oxtail bones isn't the simplest, so definitely have to bite around crevices. All in all, this plate was delicious but think it comes with a huge tourist tax I've had better value for oxtail plates. Ube Pancake Stack - four sizeable pancakes. Some pictures, including my own, don't do these justice. I can definitely get behind the hype. They're drenched in a rich ube sauce and there's plenty to go around. Honestly the ube flavor is present on the pancakes, but it feels relatively faint because the sauce is extremely sweet and flavorful, minimizing the pancake taste and expanding the gap between flavors. That being said, I think I would enjoy the pancakes with less sauce (or preferably, on the side).

They served the coffees with a little shortbread cookie, and these little details really elevated the whole experience. Also, the cappuccino was so foamy, and it hit the spot immediately. The breakfast menu was also fantastic. The TPC Breakfast plate included sausage, potatoes, bacon, bread, and some scrambled eggs. There also was an option to add Beecher's cheese on the eggs, and I'd say it was totally worth it. Most importantly, the Dutch baby was as good as they'd advertised. It comes out on a piping hot skillet which kept the dessert warm till the end of the meal. The service was very quick even though they were entirely booked out for the time we were there for. I appreciated the patience from the servers and their helpful directions in picking the menu items. I will warn you that we had to reserve our spot months in advance.

I highly recommend trying it out at least once. All in all, highly recommend! Please go try Tilikum Place Cafe!
