Why I love LOLA these days: The food is excellent and tastes different then everything else we eat all week. Flavors are rich and exotic. The service is also warm and friendly (which it did not used to be many years ago when Lola first opened). Ambiance and lighting are nice. Room can get a little loud when full. But all in all I really like going here.

Apps were top notch. Drinks were good if slow to be delivered. Entrees selection was a bit lacking. Lamb kofta was visually off- putting. Hard to believe they let the dish leave the kitchen looking like it did.

Valentines price fixed menu. We’ve been here before and generally like the atmosphere and food. For this price fixed we ordered the beet salad and squash soup appetizers that were very good and flavorful The duck and fois gras pie however was salty and had an overpowering herb (?thyme) flavor that took away from the flavor of the duck and fois gras

Went there for their amazing Valentine’s Day Prix-Fixe dinner. The choices were great—-scallops or a petite filet with broccoli rabe and puréed potatoes (delicious), a branzino dish, and great desserts. Place was busy but organized as usual and not loud. Service is top notch from hostess Marissa to lovely young waitress Laura—-all the staff is great. Still one of my all-time TOP 5 restaurants. You have to go!

The restaurant was very loud. We had to yell to have a conversation. The service was good. The presentation of the food was not what we expected for a restaurant of this price range. What’s worse is the food was mediocre at best. It tasted old and the flavors were disappointing.
Lola - Great NeckResponded on February 11, 2023Hello Anna, we are heartbroken to read about your dissatisfaction with last night's meal. While we are certainly far from perfect, we pride ourselves on always prioritizing the satisfaction of our loyal customers and take all criticism very seriously. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss this in greater detail with you and work to make this right. Please give me a call at (516) 312-1649. I look forward to speaking with you. Thank you. Sincerely, Chef Lenny.

Food was too saucy with way too much seasoning. You could not taste the natural ingredients because they drowned them in sauce and other flavors. I prefer more cleaner food.

Lola's is a favorite restaurant. Always try the specials. Last night, New Years Eve, we had one of the best steaks ever that was a perfect cut of meat cooked to perfection with mouthwatering roasted garlic mashed potatoes. The awesome lobster mac and cheese was very creamy with hunks of lobster and crusty breadcrumbs on top and the tuna tartar had a nice spicy kick to it served with seaweed wraps. All outstanding. Thank you Chef Lenny Messina
