We had the worst dining experience ever! We sat for 15 minutes while servers walked back and forth, but no one came to take our order. After we finally ordered -- which took half an hour -- we had to wait another 30 minutes for the food to arrive. No one checked on us the entire time. Service was completely absent from start to finish. Absolutely terrible -- I do not recommend this place at all.l read more

lola was such a good brunch spot in downtown, seattle!! was super busy, but service was actually quite fast. not the best french toast ive ever had but def had sapid flavor; not usually a cooked banana fan but the caramelized banana topping was to die for. eggs benny was quite good as well, and i liked the calamari. tried the octopus hash which had a good portion of octopus, just a tad salty for my liking but not terrible. we got doughnuts to share but it didn't seem super fresh. the vanilla buttercream was saur good tho. would come back! read more

This brunch just blew my mind...I got served my new favorite benedicts. The place is worthy of a 5 star rave review. Now I have been here for dinner(which are great too) but the brunch has me drooling as i am writing the review. I started with their spreads mezze. We got the kopanisti, pistachio, mavrodaphne with pita. This was nice and cheesy, i missed some spice or lemon to cut through the richness. It was good but the best plates were yet to come We ordered their eggs benedict and shakshouka (shakshuka). Both were just to kill for...!! The shakshuka was not too tomato heavy with the tomatoes cooked out-peppery sweet salty just perfect...put all my previous northwest shakshuka to shame And who the benedicts....oh my god...with the perfectly poached eggs, buttery toasted bread, hollandaise and the dill on the top just was amazing As I write this review I am planning to visit again this sunday already. I do want to mention that their chicken kebabs were great for dinner but all i can write about is my last brunch I had. read more

Wow wow wow! I am so glad I stumbled into this lovely establishment. I must say that it was one of the best Bloody Mary's and Egg Benedict's that I have ever had. The BM was just medium spicy and perfectly flavored. The Eggs Benedict had what I would consider country ham which made it an amazing choice. They have a two step cooking on their breakfast potatoes that made them amazing. They seem to par boil them and then finish them off by smashing them on the flat grill for that added crispness. YUM!! The staff is super friendly and the ambiance is awesome old school bistro/diner and I had a great experience. This is a must go to place while in Seattle. read more

Pork kebab plate was solid, perhaps a little dry. The potatoes were crispy and nice texturally but could use some more seasoning. Pita wasn't anything special. The tzatziki was seasoned well. My partner enjoyed their braised octopus hash. The couple bites I had were good but I felt there was not much octopus. I'm not wowed Doughtnuts were light and not overly sweet. Overall a bit overhyped imo Great friendly service I'm glad I tried Lola but didn't feel too special, and felt a bit overpriced read more

Just landed into Seattle looking for some breakfast around downtown, glad I was able to try out Lalo. I love the idea that this place is a mixed of Greek food and classic brunch items. The kind waitress recommended the Donuts & Octopus Hash, and it did not disappoint. Octopus Hash - this was by far one of my favorite brunch items I've eaten. It may be because I haven't had octopus as a brunch item, I love the Greek options they offer here. If you enjoy grilled octopus this is a must try! Comes with toast, a sunny side up egg, potatoes, kale and a mix of some kind of garlic yogurt. Amazing and delicious dish! Doughnuts - powered doughnuts were okay, the jam & the vanilla mascarpone was much needed as it can be a bit dry without it. Decent treat to try, personally could go without it. Overall great service, unique food, would definitely comeback when I'm in Seattle. read more

A super cute spot with amazing food and friendly staff! I came by with a friend for brunch, and the first thing you should know is that it gets PACKED. We were seated pretty quickly, but only thanks to our reservation. I decided to get the Challah French Toast to appeal to my never ending sugar cravings. Unlike most French toasts, it was actually not too sweet! I was able to use the syrup on top, which normally would've been overwhelming. The bread was soft, flavorful, and so delicious. I'm not totally sure what the spices were, but it was definitely not a regular toast. Plus, the vanilla-cardamom mascarpone was to die for. It complemented the spices and honey perfectly, and I somehow managed to devour it all. I had an incredible time and will definitely be back! read more

Lola's was our only sit down meal in Seattle while on our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect. Our waitress was sooooo nice and helpful with narrowing down options of what to get. We started with the Lamb Jam (Turkish lamb dumplings, spiced tomato sauce, garlic yogurt aleppo butter) fried squid (chickpea flour crust and spicy dip), and cauliflower anchovy spread with pita. The Lamb Jam was absolutely divine - the sauce? FANTASTIC. Save it to dip some pita in! The fried squid was nice and crispy. The cauliflower anchovy spread was okay, but didn't have a very powerful anchovy taste. For our main we split the spice rubbed lamb chops (smoked yogurt, maitake mushrooms, puyallip rhubarb esme) with rosemary fries. We mentioned that we wanted to split it and didn't expect them to bring it on two separate plates! The extra thought meant so much. It was absolutely delicious. For dessert we got the pot de crème and coconut cream pie. If I have one piece of advice - GET THE COCONUT CREAM PIE. Oh my LORD it was absolutely the BEST dessert I've ever had. And I'm a dessert person, so that's a big deal! All in all, Lola's was amazing. It was intimate and cozy and the staff was extra helpful. read more

hubby and I came to eat here while we were on vacation in Seattle. we were immediately seated at the restaurant was really nice and clean. I got the Lola breakfast and some tea. He got this, like Greek breakfast thing I can't remember the name of and a side of fresh fruit. We both absolutely loved our food. It was so fresh and tasty and warm. The blueberry jam is to die for on toast!! we came home and we're actually craving it!!! definitely will be back here next time we are in the area. read more

Came to Lola for breakfast and to catch up with some local friends. It did not disappoint! The staff are very friendly and were accommodating to people in our party not all arriving at the same time. Overall we had the octopus hash, shakshuka, the pancakes, and eggs benedict. There wasn't a single thing that wasn't good. The standout dishes were the octopus hash and their pancakes. The octopus hash is a unique dish I haven't experienced elsewhere and was perfectly prepared. The octopus itself was cooked perfectly as well as the overall dish and all the ingredients coming together. I also appreciated the old school pot of coffee they left at our table. Not sure if that was on purpose, but I find it rare these days and appreciate the ability to get myself caffeinated without delay! read more

Late review. This was our last day dining in Seattle. Super Cute cafe! We found lucky street parking on the side of restaurant. We were graciously greeted and seated at a window while waiting for our table. I ordered hot tea while waiting and the server was very attentive. Our table was a nice and cozy. Lovely atmosphere. We couldn't wait to see the menu! Our server suggested we order the "Made to Order Doughnuts" with seasonal jam and vanilla mascarpone. It was served warm, sugar-covered and delicious! What a treat! The jam was also super yummy and high quality. I ordered Eggs Benedict; Bavarian meats ham, dill hollandaise, and smashed garlic fried potatoes. The food was presented well and flavors were all tasty!! Reuben enjoyed his Lola's Breakfast too. It included two eggs, smashed garlic fried potatoes, toast and maple-pork sausage. Delicious! We sampled each other's Brekkie. :) Such a great ending to our Spring Break vacation! This was my favorite restaurant in Seattle! Look forward to the next time we visit! read more

This is one of the best breakfasts I've had with options for everyone! I went with about 10 people who all have different tastes and preferences for breakfast and we were all blown away with everything we ordered. The French toast was one of the best I've ever had and even their coffee was way above par. I definitely recommend making reservations in advance since it gets pretty busy (especially on weekends) but the staff was great and it's only a few blocks away to walk to pike place! read more

I hadn't been to Lola for about 14 years... of course it changed, and there's a lot to be said for the current 2024 Lola menu. Spreads - roasted sweet red pepper was excellent. The kalamata olive and fig is tasty as well. Excellent pita bread, worth eating all on its own. The Manti: Turkish Lamb Dumplings - outstanding. 5 of them on a plate, flavorful and well-prepared. Dolmades were tasty, comes with tzatziki spread (so no need to order tzatziki separately). The Halloumi cheese-fig kebab is VERY good when fresh and hot - eat it right away! one fig plus a chunk of cheese is quite a mouthful, but when it's hot it is WOW so good. After a few minutes or more, it cools down and it's still tasty, but it ain't the same experience. Seriously, pay attention to timing, worth getting this one right. Chicken kebab is excellent (even after it cools off). Delicious sauce, wonderful dish. The pork kebab was not my thing. I like pork, most of the time. Maybe I needed to try this one immediately while hot as well, that is possible. But I won't be ordering the pork again. I don't enjoy salmon much, but I liked the salmon kebab much better than the pork... there you go. Asparagus was outstanding! Prepared perfectly the night we dined. Rosemary Fries - tasty, but nothing special. Enjoyable, will order again if we want fries. Greek Spaghetti - I expected more, it was fine... but meh, won't order again. Probably expected a lighter noodle and stronger mizithra flavor, but not bad... just not my thing. (I'll head to spinasse if I need noodles) The Coconut Cream pie is insanely good. Almost every time we have it, amazing. This most recent visit, it actually was a little less good than usual, but I'll forgive one time out of dozens... If you've never tried it, save space for the coconut cream pie! Seriously, I don't like coconut. I don't like white chocolate... but this pie, amazing. Worth trying at least once in your life. Service was good, nice ambiance. Not cheap, therefore worth being picky on what you like. I plan to return sooner than another decade from now, we shall see. read more

First place I stopped by after landing here in Seattle. I had the lamb kabobs and it was cooked to perfection and with the Greek salad was the perfect combo. Probably not best parking since it's in downtown. Service was decent. The place isn't too big. I'd go again if I come back to Seattle. read more

Such a perfect breakfast! I always start with rating the coffee because in my book, all breakfast places need a great cup of coffee! Lola's coffee did not disappoint- strong, dark, bold- perfect. We shared the donuts because we heard they come out piping hot with fresh cream and berries- we were right- melt in your mouth- heaven! I orders the eggs Benedict and the portions are massive. The lemony hollandaise sauce and the mountain high piles of fresh shaved ham were decadent. Service was fantastic. Ambiance is great- we sat right under the Greek God of wine. Overall a great breakfast. read more

I really admire Tom Douglas and his food knowledge. Came here wanting breakfast. First impression, nice ambiance and setting. Was greeted cheerfully and seated promptly. Nice selection of different breakfast options. Choose the octopus hash, mimosa and made to order doughnuts. The octopus hash was lovely, such a nice mix of octopus, snap peas, braising greens, fennel, marinated grilled corn, bacon, saffron-lemon yogurt, sunny egg. A very unique dish for breakfast. The orange mimosa was very nice, with fresh squeezed orange juice. Not a usual donut fan, but the made to order donuts were really good and stiill hot when they arrived. I appreciate the details that come with your experience here. Great service, homemade ketchup, fresh juice and perfectly cooked egg. A quintessential breakfast experience in Seattle, with the options offered. Recommend this pace for tasty and special breakfast offerings. read more

I have never been a huge Tom Douglas fan, having generally thought that his restaurants were too trendy, too spendy and over priced for mediocre food. This was happily not the case last week at Lola. We thought there food was unique and quite exceptional in terms of quality and quantity. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered - fresh and unique and so flavorful. Highly recommend!! read more

Lola has a quaint boutique vibe. The customer service at Lola's is a level above most restaurants. When I arrived the restaurant was almost packed 15 min after opening. You basically need a reservation for weekend brunch. I was told it would be 20 minutes, I asked if I could sit at the bar and the host said there was no bar tender for 30 minutes.. Luckily for me Alen came in and while getting ready to work said he would take care of me at the bar. Alen has that hospitality factor, he was very helpful and accommodating, he was also the food runner for brunch so he was doing double duty. Todd was the bartender for the morning and when he showed up the amazing customer service continued. I'm very impressed with the staff. The food definitely exceeded expectations both the eggs Benedict and the Greek scramble were full of flavor that made your mouth water after every bite. read more

Lola is a terrific spot if you're in Seattle. I have been here a few times and enjoy to ambiance, delicious food, and friendly service.

My wife and I absolutely adore Lola's Restaurant. We found them on Yelp while visiting Seattle. I saw octopus hash and told my wife that we have to go there just to try it. I honestly wasn't expecting much. I was expecting chewy octopus with some potatoes, but that is far from what we got. What we got was perfectly cooked octopus sliced into a beautifully seasoned mixture of vegetables, potatoes and peppers. Sitting on top was a cooked egg that once pierced yielded its tasty yolk to the party. Every bite was mouthwatering. We went back the next day and had the Greek Scramble which I dare say was a bit better than the Octopus Hash. Either way you can't go wrong dining here. Highly recommend.

Absolutely wonderful service. We had breakfast here almost every day while we stayed in Seattle and our server Nick served us breakfast whenever we came in at the bar and so kind offered many different things that we can do around here. When we came in for nightcaps at the end of the day because our hotel was attached to the restaurant our bartender Erna was absolutely astounding and an angel. She even gave me a recipe, in-depth and and above and beyond on how to make Hungarian goulash, she was Hungarian. I cannot stress how amazing these two people were, and they made our trip so much more enjoyable. read more

I've had breakfast, slightly pricey in my opinion, and dinner at Lola and enjoyed it. Eggs Bennie were delicious with those herb smashed potatoes. For dinner, I ordered takeaway. The lamb burger with grilled onion and pickled red peppers, that comes with perfectly crispy fries, some of the best I've had in a while, and a side of Greek salad. I do wish the portion of Greek salad was more substantial. Loved the house cumin flavored ketchup and Tzatziki! read more

Upon arrival at Lola we were greeted by the friendly hostess who took our info and within 15-20 minutes we were seated at a table near the bar area. The restaurant has a great vibe and is very tidy. We were also served by an extremely well-mannered and knowledgeable server who surely deserves the tip we left. We tried the Kebab plate and it didn't disappoint! The lamb meat was deliciously marinated and cooked to perfection! The plate comes with tzatziki which was so tasty and it had just the right amount of garlic to give it a rich flavor, a Greek salad with fresh vegetables, feta cheese and herbs, freshly griddled pita and AMAZING crispy, garlicky fried potatoes. We also tried the lemonade and it was the best addition to our meal! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Greek cuisine, whether you're looking for a breakfast or a brunch spot, Lola is the place to be! read more

Went for my birthday with family. Reservation for 5:30PM & it was not busy when we arrived, but definitely filled up by the time we left. We had Tyler, he was wonderful from beginning to end. We did the Family Style dinner for $70 per person. I would say it's worth it. Unlimited fresh pita bread was great, and they were prompt to refill it as well. Family style dinner came with everything pictured and olive oil cake (not pictured). Usually don't eat lamb, but if it's Lola's, I'll gladly go back for seconds. Cooked perfectly, and paired well with the smashed potatoes. Salmon and chicken kebabs came out on a sizzling skillet. My favorite was the chicken. Olive cake was pretty good too. Very satisfied, will definitely come back! read more
