    Such a lovely setting. We preferred to sit outside on their wonderful patio, but the inside rooms are so cozy. I love this place. Oh, and the food is delicious!

    It was our first time here, but we will definitely be back. The romantic table on the porch was perfect. The food was very good and they have a nice wine list. The highlight of our visit was the service we received from Brock! Even though he was obviously busy, he made us feel like his only customers. He took the time to make suggestions and checked back with us just the right amount of times. He is an asset to this establishment. Thank you!

    Prior to our visit to Lola's Farmhouse, we had heard many good comments about it, so we were looking forward to a very nice dining experience. Well, what we experienced was not what we had heard. The food was very good with sauces that were outstanding. Pricing was fair for today's market. Our waitress did a good job taking our order and bringing us our bread and drinks, but after that we didn't see or hear from her. She never asked how our food was or if we cared for another glass of wine or even water! When she asked if we wanted dessert, I asked her what the restaurant did to acknowledge "special occasions" because when I had made our reservation, I indicated we were celebrating my husband's birthday. We were told we put a little sign board with a message written on it and place it on the table AND, if we ordered dessert, they would put a candle in the birthday persons dessert!!!! Also, if you drink cocktails, as per the waitress, they come in a can!!!! NOT handmade individually at the restaurant. Will we return? It's doubtful. There are too many "fine dining" restaurants in the area that prioritize customer service, etc.

    Pasta dish was only lukewarm; sandwich was good. Service was fine - server was covering 8 tables with an average of 4 people/table. So it’s no wonder that she wasn’t able to check in on us. On the pricey side for what we got.

    We had a delicious lunch on the patio with a wonderful server. The food was delicious. We were surprised at the number of people there were on Thursday at lunchtime, so make reservations on line. Highly recommend!

    My wife and I have been going to Lola's for many years. Our experience yesterday was not a bad one, but not up to the standard that we had come to expect. My steak was a little tough and over-spiced and my wife's chicken was tough. I'm sure we'll try it again in the future but was just disappointed this visit.
