   The food is consistently amazing and unlike anything you’ve had anywhere else. Dana was our waitress and she was so accommodating and friendly. Delicious appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Our favorite restaurant in Great Neck.

   Found was incredible! Dishes we had never had. Feta fondue with marmalade and almonds! Terrific bread. A mushroom delight on a phyllo crust. Wonderful and attentive service. Person who served us was engaging, thoughtful and knowledgeable. In town for a wedding. Wish we could take Lola home with us.

   My daughter and her boyfriend came to visit from Portugal and we wanted our dinner to be a special event. Five of us (3 generations!) set out to celebrate. Lola Restaurant made it special in every way! Our waitress was such a wonderful help. We were looking to start with a sweet cocktail, and she invented a fantastic drink with peach schnapps (it reminded us of the apricot cocktails we used to get years ago in Manhattan). We started with hummus with both pita and cucumber slices to scoop it up, as well as the special appetizer of grilled watermelon with grilled cheese....amazing! The five of us shared branzino, lamb, mushroom pizza and duck salami pizza, plus extra sides of brussel sprouts and lemon pureed potato. Heavenly! Especially with our Pinot Grigio. For dessert, we feasted on a halvah parfait, cheesecake, and a chocolate "bomb"-like dessert. We wished that they had cappuccino (decaf, even) but they do not and it is the only thing we missed. All in all, a genuine pleasure!!

   I’ll start with the good…then a small nitpick, and then I’ll end with the good. The service was fantastic. Easy going, knowledgeable, friendly, attentive. Just on point. The food was outstanding. So many flavors packed into each bite. Sort of tapas style Mediterranean, but plates not so small to leave you hungry. But so tasty and slightly unusual, in a good way…one of the best meals on Long Island, and one of the best meals in general in a long while. The ambience was just slightly off upon entering the restaurant. I quickly judge a place when I walk in. I could not smell food being cooked and there was a faint unpleasant odor. I believe it may have been the bar or something. I almost considered leaving upon entering, but it wasn’t such a bad smell to force me to take action, but I did notice it. But anyway, I’m glad I stayed because the food and service was beyond fantastic. I’d definitely recommend, and I’ll definitely go back again.

    Food was delicious and as good as any I have enjoyed in NYC. Alas, prices continue to go up and it may not be the right place for midweek dining with wine, but then again “where is?”

    I took my sister to Lola for her birthday on Saturday night and it was really a wonderful experience. The ambiance was great, noise level low and the staff were outstanding! Our waitress was patient, lively and really a nice addition to our night! She provided all the explanations and recommendations when we asked and everything we tried was excellent. The staff provided my sister with a wonderful Halva dessert with a candle and sand Happy Birthday! I couldn't have asked for a better dinner! Thank you!

    The overall experience is great! The food is very creative and delicious. It is our second time dining at Lola's, and we remembered the Baked Alaska dessert which is just amazing and one of the attraction points for our return. Branzino, lamb, and chicken tajin were delicious, and roasted brussel sprouts are really good. I would recommend it! Since we ordered 3 apps, 3 main, 4 drinks, 5 teas/ coffees, and dessert, the bill was substantial. But it makes it a special dining experience!

    Food is delicious. Service from waitress was pleasant but she could’ve been more attentive. We could’ve ordered a few more drinks but the waitress was not to be found. Something happened and I have to say management did but handle it well at all so they probably need a better “manager on site.” To be fair for the review, the food is worth it so give it a try but personally I am hesitate to visit again because of what happened (not that they care or need my business).

    There is nothing to say about Lola that hasn’t been said but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. This review is years overdue and prompted by another recent visit with their revamped menu. Service is impeccable and everyone is treated like family. Accommodations in a very difficult environment are always accommodated and while the food is the main attraction, the staff are the stars. As for the food, not one thing isn’t creative and thought through with the chicken schwarma hummus and anything duck make the night worth while. 11 out of 10

    Super delicious food. Got the cauliflower and romaine hearts salad appetizers and they were huge I didn’t have room for my main dish which was the Bronzino. The inside is pretty dark. I’d go back and sit towards the front. Overall the food was super good and very kind waitress!

    A long, small restaurant--noisy and sometimes difficult to hear others at our smallish table. As the night went on and people cleared out, there was some noise-abatement. The food was good, hearty, and some of it was better than good. No need to order entrees. The menu-items to-be-shared can take you and your company a long way. The servers were very friendly, warm, and accommodating. I'd come back and would be happy to try again.
