    Food is Phenomenal like amazing everything was unbelievable! The service was incredible my waiter was legit the best ever! The ambiance is like no other in the city there's so much history and the waiters are very very knowledgeable and explain everything to you! It was truly an amazing experience.

    So where do I begin?! I thought that The Eighty Six was going to be one and done for me (been there, done that), but I was so wrong. The Eighty Six is almost perfect. The room is beautiful, the cocktails are great and food is amazingly delicious. The truly defining aspect of The Eighty Six is the incredible service. It was a wonderful experience and we will be back.

    Absolutely INCREDIBLE!! I don't think there is a better restaurant in the city. From the green door opening to stepping inside the swanky yet chic decor was fabulous. The whole place is a vibe with an excellent crowd. The history behind the establishment alone was pretty wild. The service was Beyond and we thank Leigh so much for everything, she is such a delight. The martinis were flowing through the night and I recommend all of them. The pickles In the beginning are a great digestive. We are still thinking about the shrimp as well as the lobster pasta. The caviar churros are a must order. Honestly the entire menu is a must order. This brand simply understands the perfection execution of hospitality.

    Getting a reservation here is very hard. One just popped up in my Resy app for lunch though, so I…read morewent for it. It was my first time here although, it has been around for ages. The front part where you first walk in is the bar area with some tables. This restaurant is on the darker side and brings you back in time. Once you walk in further that is where the main dinning room is. This is also on the darker side as you can maybe tell by my photos. The wall paper and art around the restaurant is cool and there are some monkey statues around the restaurant. I was seated in a corner table in a booth area that seemed to be for at least 2-3 people. I thought for sure they would seat me at the bar area. I had a wonderful waitress whose name I think was Taylor but I could be wrong. I ordered the Monkey bread to start off with. It's a very buttery bread with truffle and parm cheese on top. I have alot of allergies and I was searching online if I could even have truffles as I have a nut allergy. So, I asked the waitress and she said she had never heard this. But, she came back to me and told me that White truffle grows near or like over where Almonds grow from but that, they don't use white truffle so I was all good. Well, this was super nice of her to check for me. I had no idea she was going to do this. She said the restaurant has strict protocols when it comes to food allergies. I then got for my main dish the double cheese burger with onions and pickles. To drink I had the cucumber martini. WOW everything was pretty darn good!! I passed on dessert. If you get a chance or a reservation pops up in your resy to go, even if it is for lunch..I highly say go for it.

    From the moment we sat down, the service set the tone for the entire experience. Our server was…read moreincredibly warm, upbeat, and full of energy--one of those people who genuinely elevates a meal. I only wish I could remember her name because she deserves the recognition. We started with drinks, and mine ended up being a surprise standout. I ordered the coconut margarita, slightly hesitant since I'm not usually a margarita fan--but it completely won me over. It struck a perfect balance and leaned just enough into the coconut to make it feel unique without being overpowering. My sister-in-law, who's pregnant, had a non-alcoholic Ritual margarita and loved it, noting how convincingly it mimicked the real thing. Since we were sharing, we got to try a good mix of the menu. The monkey bread came first--definitely a splurge at $34, but it's one of those fun, indulgent starters that's worth ordering at least once. While I wouldn't call it the best bread I've ever had, I also wouldn't change anything about it. The crab rangoon was another highlight. Having it made with real crab made a noticeable difference, and the dipping sauces complemented it really well. It felt like a more elevated take on something familiar. For mains, the French dip was a hit. The meat was incredibly tender, the bread had that ideal crusty exterior, and the au jus was packed with flavor--I was very glad I ordered extra. It pulled the whole dish together. We also tried the smoked whitefish Caesar, which was the only dish that didn't quite land for me. It was a well-made, fresh salad, but the smoked fish flavor was a bit overpowering and took over the balance of the dish. Even though we were too full for dessert, the restaurant surprised us with a scoop of strawberry ice cream with chocolate sauce to celebrate my sister-in-law's babymoon. It ended up being one of the most memorable bites of the meal--we're still talking about how good that ice cream was. We arrived right at 11:45, and by the time we left, the place was absolutely buzzing. It's clearly a popular spot, and for good reason. Between the lively atmosphere, strong service, and well-executed food, I'd highly recommend making a reservation if you can.

    I'm still dreaming about the burger, no exaggeration. It's easily one of the best I've ever had…read more The flavors in the burger...the richness, everything about it just hits. I actually went twice in a short span, first with coworkers, and then I had to bring my fiancé back because it was that good. Beyond the food, the service was just as memorable. Our waitress was incredibly attentive, warm, and made the whole experience feel effortless. The energy of the space paired with that level of hospitality really sets this place apart. Already planning my next visit.

    For context, we went on Thanksgiving Eve around 7pm. Yes a tricky night to go out to dinner but I…read morewas hopeful. We were immediately put on a waitlist that the host said would take about 25 min. I personally didn't want to wait but my boyfriend suggested we did. We actually only ending up waiting around 15 min and got seated at a nice table by the windows, the other tables looked a bit too close for my liking but I guess that adds to the ambiance of it all. I knew coming into this meal knowing I wanted the burger, mozzarella sticks and Ceasar salad. The dirty martini was so delicious and got me excited for the rest of the food. Mozz sticks were so perfectly crispy, and had a beautiful cheese pull to it. 10/10 Cesar salad was nice and light, enjoyed that they used breadcrumbs instead of chunky croutons. 8/10 (only cuz I think it gets overshadowed by the rest) The cheeseburger...best cheeseburger of my life. I so appreciated that it was simple, no tomatoes or lettuce distracting you. Even having the classic cheese on there reminded me of Kraft grilled cheeses from when I was a kid. I wish I could eat this burger a 100x more, will be recommending to everyone in the near future. Sooooo worth the hype

    These are the places you want to go. The place is usually very busy. We lucked out on a Sunday and…read moreenjoyed the festive atmosphere. Prices are not crazy which is a nice surprise. I was going to try the Tuna Melt but my wife says they are known for their cheese burgers. So when in Rome.. The burgers were terrific highly recommend. The fries are enough for 2 as we shared and enjoyed them as well. It is a cool place where NYC use to have many of. This is one of them. The service was good. If we can get lucky and make a reservation, we will be back. A must and maybe I'll try the Tuna although the burgers are a home run.

We were seated at a nice quiet table overlooking the kitchen with lots of room. I love when a restaurant reads my comments on my reservation! Adam was our server extraordinaire and he really helped make our evening memorable. From his great menu recommendations to his very attentive service, you can tell he really takes pride working at Lola's and made sure we had a great meal. The tuna appetizer was very good and two of us had the crispy chicken thighs which were excellent...super crispy on the outside and juicy inside. I loved the buttermilk sauce on the side along with the coconut vinegar and hot honey... nice addition! My son had the Atlantic Char which seemed to disappear off his plate very quickly .. he really enjoyed it. Thank you Adam and Lola's for a great dinner!

A few things we loved: --the low ABV cocktail options. I got the Last Word and Tonic, which was delightful. --The cauliflower and rice cakes --the crispy chicken and hot honey --sitting at the kitchen table. We enjoy chatting with the chef, especially about her South Carolina roots (even if she is a Clemson grad ) --the desserts were incredible. We ordered carrot cake and they gave us an extra cookie for my birthday. We loved both and ate every crumb! Thank you to everyone at Lola's for a perfect night!

From the moment we arrived, the service was flawless -- warm, incredibly attentive, and perfectly paced. The refreshments were so great for a celebration. The Cocktails: Expertly crafted and sophisticated. It was refreshing to have drinks that were perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The coffee was served alongside dessert, it was rich and the perfect finishing touch to a wonderful meal. While the Filet Mignon was a popular and well loved choice among our group, and the Meatballs were universally raved about for being truly excellent, the real showstopper for me was the Chicken Parmesan. I don't typically order steak, so I was delighted by this choice. The cutlet was impressively sized yet elegantly thin, showcasing the high quality of the chicken. It was served with a side of creamy mashed potatoes, which was such a comforting and delicious pairing. It did remind me of visiting Germany believe it or not like a schnitzel style cutlet but still very italian if that makes any sense. If you visit, you simply cannot miss the fried eggplant appetizer with burrata. It is divine! This dish alone would be the perfect excuse to drop by for a casual dinner date or a "girls' night out" centered around appetizers, wine, and to try a dessert. I would absolutely return!

The fried calamari could've been less oily, as this took away from the crunch; also slightly overcooked. Baked clams were decent. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Pizza was great! They reheated for us, since our group was too busy chatting. Desserts - phenomenal! Drinks- ehh. Brunch menu - French toast was decent. The salmon over hash brown , was lacking a touch of something , couldn't pinpoint what was lacking. Chicken and waffles, decent, wasn't the best I've had. Service- jonathan was our waiter during brunch and also our bartender. He's GREAT! During service dinner, we had a female waitress and I felt she lacked attention to details and couldn't flag her down when we wanted something. Overall, service is a hit or miss , I guess? If you're looking for an intimate dinner, nope. Love their vibes and music playing in the background. You might need to "shout"'to hear
