This is an awesome brunch place. Be sure to make reservations on open table. There is limited seating and long lines. We went two days in a row we loved it so much. The eggs Benedict is wonderful - the deep fried roasted potatoes were over the top. The only area for improvement is quality control - consistency in preparation. The first day the eggs benedict was perfect. The second day both our eggs benedicts had cold hollandaise sauce. Grace was our server both days - ask for her she's great. She remembered our orders from the previous day and filled us in on all the goodies on the menu. She was more than happy to bring out fresh eggs benedict, too. She made the quality error with the kitchen go away. They have an extensive and interesting mixed drink menu. The venue has street parking only. Take public transportation if you can, or walk. This is a must visit for foodies. read more

Lola is all around a great restaurant. They are inventive with flavors and they do not skimp on quality. I have eaten at Lola for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and was pleased with all of them. Most recently I tried their chicken kebab which hit the spot. The chicken was tender and flavorful. It was accompanied by a wonderful Greek salad that was brought to the next level with a hint of mint and smashed potatoes that were out of this world delicious. They were tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. My husband let me try his lamb which was equally as tasty as my chicken. A great place to go when you want to treat yourself or someone special. read more

This is one of your "higher class" places haha. It's a pretty fancy & pricey breakfast spot; it's amazing though! I ordered... THE OMELET: Instead of a regular omelet I asked for an egg white omelet without the feta cheese. This came with tons of spinach & mushrooms, garlic "smashed" potatoes, and two oiled toasts. The toasts were a little too oily for my liking; if I was able to put butter or jam on it myself I think I would've enjoyed it more. The omelet that was filled with mushrooms & spinach was pretty tasty. Ask for hot sauce on the side; their hot sauce is amazing! What sold me with this dish was the smashed garlic potatoes; it was like a mixture of hash browns, potatoes, & fries all in one. So delicious! My friend ordered... WILD SCRAMBLE: She really enjoyed this. It was fulfilling and the potatoes were extra crispy in this dish. The hot sauce they provide really makes this dish extra tastey! CUSTOMER SERVICE: When we got there, there was a 10 minute wait for them to dust tables which was fine. I was watching one of the servers dust a table and he literally spent 10 minutes on a table making sure everything was nice & clean. It was comforting knowing that their cleanliness is important! read more

I feel like Apple fans and Tom Douglas Fans are very similar. If you like either you REALLY like them and it seems like everyone around you knows how you feel about them. This is at least in my case. I am a huge TD fan( and on a personal note, an Apple fan too!). Lola is interesting because although not my favorite of the TD clan I find it intriguing. The flavors are what are most intriguing! The lamb burger for instance is a very solid dish but it is the chick pea fries and home made ketchup that is intriguing. I went there last Friday and ordered the Jackie's greek salad, barrel aged feta, Wild pacific prawns, curried muscat glaze, Smoked leg of lamb, preserved lemon and the butternut squash. All were amazing and memorable! For desert we ordered the "Warm chocolate truffle tart, mulled wine poached pear, red wine ice cream ". The bill was just over 70 which I found reasonable seeing as we had more or less a 5 course meal. Go here if you are bored with how food normally tastes. read more

Tom Douglas makes it easy for those visiting the city to find high quality food and happy hours. I have been here for breakfast on two separate trips to the city and both were great. Yes the homemade doughnuts are yummy, but my favorite thing about breakfast here are the breakfast meats. The bacon is to die for and the sausage is house made. I usually do not like sausage, but it was delicious! They also bring you out a mini pot of coffee, Startbucks Verona brew, so you can refill at your convenience. Happy hour here is great as well. Lots of yummy things on the menu for cheap. read more

Found this place through food network, so decided to give it a try on our vacation in Seattle. We had the made to order doughnuts, which we loved! Next time we visit I'm ordering one for myself, with extra mascarpone and jam. It's light and fluffy and everything you'd want to start your day. We also got the Lola breakfast for my boyfriend, which was yummy. And when they say smashed potatoes, they really mean smashed. They boiled a whole potato, smash it and fry it until its crisp. We've never had potato like that before and it was different and good! I forgot the name of the plate I got, but I loved it! It had some kind if purée at the bottom, green beans, corn, onions and I believe lamb. It was topped off with a poached egg and 2 toast on the side. The green beans and corn were tender and crisp, which is nice to know its not from a can. And the lamb was cooked nicely. Everything on that plate was perfect. And you can't have breakfast without OJ! I love OJ with pulp, and they ask you if you'd like it with or without pulp, which is a nice option for people who'd opt out of it. I short them a star only because personally I'd like the portions to be a bit bigger, but that's just me. The service was nice, the place itself was nicely decorated and clean. I even noticed some hooks at the end of the booths to hang coats which was a nice touch, since its in Seattle. I'd defiantly would come back and recommend this place to others. read more

My friend visited from San Francisco and I chose this for our dinner, it did not fail. The ambiance and decor of the place was cozy and inviting, nothing over the top. We ordered the seafood extravaganza. The broth was packed with flavor. Combination of mussels, clams, scallops and the bacon made the ouzo broth spectacular! Plus it came with charred bread that had the perfect balance of crunch to softness. The Anderson lamb was just okay in my opinion. The meat was cut thinner than what I expected and a little overcooked. The flavor was good though. We had the famous donuts. As always these tasty morsels never fail. So fluffy soft and just perfect with the marscapone sauce. I did not try it but my friend loved it so much and I'm glad he did because I really recommended it. The semolina greek yogurt pudding started of too floral tasting but when paired with the crispy almond crunch, they are just a match made in your mouth! what a fabulous dinner! Definitely i will be back. read more

After weeks of trying to get in without a reservation, I finally stopped being lazy and decided to call for a reservation for brunch. TIP: make reservations if you are not willing to wait 40 mins or more for a table. I found this place by word of mouth but also passing by every weekend seeing how busy they can get. Because its a Tom Douglas restaurant, my expectations were very high. Needless to say, it was amazing. A must try is of course their famous fresh made donuts. The donuts were so soft, fluffy and it just melted in your mouth. It came in little bite size pieces to share and paired with rhubarb jam and vanilla mascarpone on the side. The main dish I ordered was Cumin Spiced Lamb Shawarma. This was mouthwatering. The amount of food was enough to share for two people. The lamb was tender and not too gammy for the non lamb eaters. It was so flavorful and every bite you took was perfect. I topped this off with their Tzatziki dip which added an additional touch of flavor. You pretty much can't go wrong ordering anything here. I would say to expand your horizon and try something new on the menu and you wouldn't be disappointed. read more

We stopped here for breakfast and IT WAS AMAZING! Seriously delicious high quality food. We ordered the Lola breakfast and Tom's favorite breakfast. It was SO good. I can still taste it weeks later. Everything was fresh and delicious. I never have seen a breakfast meal that included octopus, but I'm definitely swayed now. I would say it's best to have a small party with you since it gets super busy during main breakfast hours (esp on weekends). THIS IS WORTH THE WAIT! (and if it's not, go across the street to the Dahlia's Bakery - but that's another story) read more

Wow, I'm glad I walked into this place. Great place for breakfast! I was walking buy and it smelled good and wanted to give it a whirl. Food: Scrambled eggs, cooked perfectly and very flavorful. Potatoes- Cooked and seasoned very well Toast- Fresh artisan bread, great texture and taste. Bacon- HOLY SCHMOLLY!!!! This was the best bacon I've ever had for breakfast. Thick and DELICIOUS! Fresh doughnut with vanilla cream and huckleberry jam. These were really good, probably not worth $9 for six but, it was good. Service: Our server was really nice, we sat at the bar so we didn't have to wait 45 mins for a booth. The seats at the bar were comfortable and our server was great. He made sure all of our drinks remained full and we had everything we needed. Try Lola out and try not to sing "Lola" by the Kinks. unless you have a beautiful voice then sing away! read more

Great place for dinner (though I know this place is more popular for brunch)! Overall this place was amazing - great food and service. The ambiance was great too, comfy chairs and wooden decorations. I liked this place a lot and would definitely come back. Pita bread appetizers - There is a variety of spreads you can get at this restaurant, which is paired with pita bread. This was delicious as the bread was soft and the spreads were good too. I tried two the more popular ones, but can't remember the name. Pork chops - This was cooked very nicely, but was too salty in my opinion. Seafood dish - Delicious! I liked this a lot, there was an abundance of mussles and clams, a scallop, crab, and fish. Good choices and cooked well. Donuts - These are the famous Lola donuts! Definitely worth a try. They come with cream and a jelly, pairs well with these little donuts. read more

Came to Lola on a Sunday for brunch. Ordered the beignets that they are well known for. Those were pretty delicious! And basically, that's all liked from this place.. I ordered the basic Lola's breakfast which came with 2 eggs, maple sausage/bacon (I got one of each) and 3 garlic smushed potatoes. I also added 1 side of pancakes that cost $5.25! So let me tell you how everything on my plate went. I added cheddar cheese to my scrambled eggs & they were awful.. they tasted bland and the consistency of it was just mushy nasty.. Even after adding salt and pepper it was just not edible for me. The sausage was too sweet for my taste, they are maple sausages but I thought I'd still give it a shot, my family seemed to really like the sausage though. The bacon was thick cut and greasy, meh. The potatoes were great on the outside with the garlic flavor but I had to add a lot of salt on the inside to just add some more flavor to it. The pancake I got was literally.. just okay.. I've had better. Service: our waitress was nice & outgoing, checked in on us only to inform us of the long wait on food. Then saw her again once when she came to just pick up our finished plates.... I had really high expectations from all the great reviews but I just felt like for the price..not worth it. Just overall "OKAY" I would come here again strictly for the beignets. read more

After a Seattle friend repeatedly recommended that we try this place, I knew we had to come here for brunch during our Seattle trip. No reservations upon arrival, so we waited about 40 minutes before getting seated. We ordered two dishes to share since we wanted to try a little bit of everything. Highly recommend sharing if you aren't too hungry since the dishes can be very filling. Eggs Benedict- I've had a lot of eggs benedict and most were decent, but nothing special. Lola's egg benedict, imo, was delicious. Egg was poached perfectly as evidenced by piercing through the egg with a fork and watching the yolk slowly ooze onto the plate. The ham wasn't too salty and the rich, creamy hollandaise sauce was plenty to go around. The garlic smashed potatoes were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. It was garlicky, but not so overpowering that the garlic will linger in your mouth. My only qualm about this dish was the toasted English muffin. Parts of it was too hard for my liking. Felt like I was going to chip off a piece of my tooth. Tom's Favorite- Mediterranean octopus, sounds weird to eat in the morning huh? It was to me until I took the first bite. The octopus was not too chewy and actually really, really tender. It didn't taste like the ocean at all! Each bite was flavorful and consisted of bacon bits and veggies such as chickpeas, brussels sprouts, and squash. Surprisingly, one of my favorite part of this meal was the buttered toast as it made up for my rock-hard English muffin. This dish was not overly heavy, but very filling. Price- definitely more pricy than what I am used to for brunch in LA. However, everything in Seattle is pricy, so that's expected. We left satisfied and ready to tackle the rest of our day in Seattle! Will definitely be back if I am ever in Seattle again. read more

Breakfast at Lola is definitely worth waking up early for! I ordered a single pancake (not on the menu, but my waitress was kind to suggest) and a bowl of fruit. The pancake was absolutely heavenly: almost an inch thick, it was a perfectly balanced fluffy pancake with a crisp edge. It came with Mascarpone and maple syrup, but it was phenomenal on its own. And the bowl of fruit was no boring, half ripe melon mix, but a beautiful blend of strawberry, pineapple, blueberry, raspberry and grape. For a bill of $12, this is not your ordinary eggs n' bacon brunch spot--it's so much better! read more

I'm in town for a conference with a client and she suggested Lola. Keep in mind that I am very skeptical of restaurants and eateries she chooses in general because she is a vegan and I am...well, I am the opposite of a vegan and a true carnivore. I let her choose our dinner tonight and she immediately chose Lola, as recommended by one of her traveling vegan friends. I internally rolled my eyes without looking at the menu or even "yelping" the restaurant because I prematurely judged my distaste for it. I was a bit off, I'll admit. We stepped into the restaurant and were immediately overpowered by the delicious aroma of Greek food (mind you, I was still full from an afternoon of exploring at Pike Place Market). Like a good businesswoman, I allowed my client to choose our appetizers. We started off with the saganaki, which I think is the best dish the restaurant has. We paired it with the pita and fresh berry jam they provided at dinner. I could've just ordered a couple of these and been good for the night. The cheese is so delicious and the fig is fresh and cooked perfectly. My client also ordered the spanakopita and haloumi cheese kababs (I didn't try either one but she was raving about the kababs). She had a Pinot Grigio with her meal and said it was good and had a citrus under one that paired well with her dishes. I ordered the northwest seafood extravaganza as my dish. The flavors were good but I was a bit underwhelmed with the portion. Too many mussels, not enough of the other seafood items like salmon or the scallop (which was really good). The corn took up half the dish and I didn't even try any since I wanted more seafood in my dish than starch. I should've stuck with the other appetizers I was eyeing (wish I stuck with my gut feeling and gone with the grilled Spanish octopus. Ugh, regret). I feel like I would've enjoyed them much more. Our service was okay. Our waitress seemed to forget about us and it definitely was not a busy night. But I try not to hold service against the staff because you never know what the night is like from their POV. I would really only come back for my beloved saganaki. That alone would be worth it. read more

This place has a nice casual atmosphere in a central location. The price is a little steeper than what we were used too but they have the best breakfast sausages I've ever had.

Their house-made donuts are to die for you have to give them a try one I guarantee you'll have seconds. read more

I Love this place. It's definitely a Tom Douglas success. I went on a saturday for brunch with couple friends and I recommend reservations because they are pretty busy. It's right in the heart of downtown parallel to some of his other restaurants and attached to Hotel Andra so you know it's clean. we ordered: Tom's Big Farmer Breakfast Pancakes & Grilled Asparagus Scramble GET the farmers breakfast, super hearty, filling and good, but honorable mention goes to the pork-maple sausage. I love when restaurants do breakfast foods right, and Tom's Mediterranean-inspired Lola does just that. Definitely coming back sometime soon to try their dinner menu, so look for an update! read more

Tasty food! A little on the pricey side, but still good. I highly recommend the garlic 'smashed' potatoes. The decor is interesting. I liked the colored chandelier over the host station, but the big barrel behind the bar had be wondering how they set the place up to begin with. I'm thinking they likely had to bring the barrel in, in pieces and assemble it as one of the first items in the customer area. :-p You should go check the place out for yourself. Be aware, their restrooms are a tad hard to find. You have to go through like three sets of doors before you even find them, and the doors aren't very well marked (if at all). read more

As a must try place from my friend, I'm am really impressed! Went here for dinner instead. We sat outside bc it was warmer. Nice and romantic dinner for us. We ordered the seafood tangine, manti (lamb ravioli in yogurt/tomato sauce), and roasted squid with corn with yogurt. The manti was delicious!!! Soft, melt in your mouth ravioli! Not a fan of the tomato sauce but the bf loves it. It was a bit tart for me. The roasted squid is awesome. Soft and succulent and sweet( not the sugary type of sweet, but the sweetness of fresh seafood). The yogurt and roasted corn with this crunchy fried noodle make a perfect balance. The tangine came with toasted French bread and dill spread. This was the best seafood stew!!! The mussels are so soft and moist! First time I have mussels like that, maybe second time. Good amount of mussels, clams, chorizo, salmon, one crab leg, and one large scallop. The scallop was very succulent and sweet! The bread is a great accompaniment. Overall it was great. Our server is a nice guy, friendly and not pretentious. Will definitely come back if I visit Seattle again. read more

The common out-of-towner query: where in the Big City can I get a good breakfast, but isn't so far I can just walk it? (it is Seattle, after all). We didn't get a good breakfast. We got a great one. Even for a pack of timid tourists, your average selection is kicked up to obscene levels of flavor and amazing combinations. Ordered the Heirloom Tomato Scramble w/ toast, potatoes & bacon, and received a truly fantastic dish of fresh, delicious food. I can't even remember the last time I spent time to savor the *smell* of my eggs and remark that my favorite portion of the meal was my toast. But this was the case. And thank god, I finally got to taste real Seattle coffee. The service and setting were equal match to the food. If you're in the area and it fits your schedule, pop in. It's a great experience. read more

Great place for brunch with friendly staff! Our server recommended trying their "made to order doughnuts" and I'm so happy we did. They were a perfect little treat to kick off our brunch. Can't go wrong with their Eggs Benedict or Greek Scramble. Everything from the coffee, to the Bloody Marys, and even the toast were made to perfection. Tip during winter months, if possible sit away from the sliding doors that connect the restaurant to the hotel, as people walk through frequently without shutting the doors, bringing in a constant stream of cold air. read more

We waited to get in for almost 45 minutes but were not disappointed. Wish we would have made reservations before hand however. Ordered the made to order donuts which were so warm and delicious! Great way to start off breakfast. Then the hubby and I both ordered eggs benedict and it was so delicious. It was much food so didn't eat much of the potatoes that came as a side. I wish I would have just substituted for fruit but didn't think about that until after I ordered. Definitely would recommend this dish. read more

Overall, another great Tom Douglas establishment if you're looking for solid renditions of Greek/Mediterranean using Pacific Northwest ingredients. Dolmades, probably my favorite version of all time. Rice, currants, pinenuts, olive oil, lemon juice, the interplay between sweet and sour... Then topped off with a thick, creamy Tzatziki... The Pacific oysters served with the cucumber mignonette were magnificent as well. Briny, sweet with hints of mineral in one bite, they were delicious even without the mignonette. The Manti, filled with savory, tender lamb, were gently piled on top of creamy yogurt and topped off with herbs and pinenuts, which were tossed with aleppo pepper. The hint of spice from the aleppo along with the tang from the yogurt really complimented the rich lamb filling of the manti. All the skewers, from the rich King salmon to the haloumi and figs, all delicious and filling as well. Of course we had to end with the coconut cream pie. Although the Loukamathes are pretty magnificent as well. The only misses, the horta was luke warm and one note while the usually stellar potatoes were not as crispy as I remembered them to be. Would I return? Yes, in a heartbeat. For pictures and a detailed review, visit our site: http://thegrumpyconcierge.tumblr.com/post/78636745832/seattle-lola read more

How lucky we are to be staying next to such a fine Mediterranean Restaurant, "Lola". A true Greek salad contains no lettuce but a wonderful mix of vine ripened tomatoes, cucumbers, Kalamata olives a sprinkle of mint leaves and a generous portion of quality Feta cheese. The salad was followed by chicken shish-kabobs, and Greek style spaghetti. The wonderful pita appetizer is a must with a wide selection of homemade spreads to choose from, you won't be disappointed! read more

The best eggs Benedict I've ever had. Ever. I might never have another one so I end on a good note for life. Asked for it without meat and got the delicious vegetarian version with tomatoes, basil and dill. Also subbed fruit for the potatoes and the fruit was delicious. The hollandaise sauce (which at other places can be too heavy or overslathered) was so light I could drink it. Flavorful and perfect. Husband got the asparagus scramble with feta and loved it. Garlic potatoes are bomb. So crispy but not at all oily. Slight garlic flavor without being overwhelming. The crack of fresh homemade hashbrowns. Annnnnd we split the doughnuts before the main food came. I don't eat doughnuts but we wanted to taste them--they are like pastry wrapped around air. So light we ate them all. The marscapone and homemade apricot jam are delicious! Highly recommend. I hope we come back to Seattle so we can come back here... read more

Yay! I am a fan. Thank god they're open late night for a GREAT bite of food! I didn't know it was a Tom Douglas creation until after we had our dinner. We had this plate of rly spicy squid and I was so satisfied. Our appetizer was pita and a bleu cheese spread.... Boy, was it AMAZING. Best I've had. We had ordered potatoes and they were honestly the best potatoes I've had.... How can plain potatoes taste so well? :) The other dish we had was a plain, but tasty dish of greens and they were the "leafiest" and freshest greens served at any restaurant I have been to. Final last dish we had was octopus w greens, onions and some yogurt was on the bottom of it and it complimented the octopus and greens so well. Overall, it was such awesome food and GREAT taste. Leaves you guessing what ingredients have been used for it and leaves you craving! As for the service, you can tell these employees were trained well bc they know what they're talking about. Would love to come back here again, because that spicy squid kebab and bleu cheese w pita has given me the biggest craves! :) read more

I made a mistake when I came to Lola's. I was feeling bad about eating so much and so unhealthy while in Seattle, I tried to be healthy and got the oatmeal...boo! I was watching my budds eat the whooole time we were here lol. I wish I'd gotten a benny! Ok ok, the oatmeal wasnt that bad. Steel cut oats mixed with flax seeds, topped with rhubarb jam and vanilla almonds...but still...that just doesn't beat a crab or salmon benny. We did share those famous little doughnuts. Made to order and shaken in their white paper bag when they drop on your table. They remind me of the mini doughnuts at pier 39 and look like little beignets! They are sugary little delights and the cherry on top is the marscapone frosting and rhubarb topping. Yum!

I came w/ a friend to Lola on my visit to Seattle. I believe Lola in Tagalog is grandma. I thought we were coming to a Filipino restaurant of some sort, but this place is fancy Greek food. The place is kind of small, so expect a good 30-40 minute wait. It is cool that they call your cell phone so you can wonder around Downtown and explore a little. We ordered pita with 2 tampenades, Salmon Kebobs, lamb ravioli, and breakfast donuts (off the menu). The food had amazing flavors and texture that you will never find. It is definitely taking classic Greek recipes, and then adding a new element of authenticity and realness. read more
