Our group increased in size beyond our reservation and the restaurant was kind to accommodate us at a communal table. The servers were very helpful and welcoming. Food was delicious; we shared empanadas, salad, ceviche, octopus. Great ambiance.

We dined at Lolinda on Sunday evening, and we enjoyed the experience. The staff was friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the food too. We ordered pulpo, ribeye, croquetas, palm salad, and chicken skewers. All were very good, but the Yuka bread was on the dry side, which may be normal. The honey butter that came with it was delicious. We would definitely return. The lighting is on the dark side, but overall, I liked the ambiance. We sat on the second level.

Food and service was fine. Nothing to write home about. This place makes you feel like they just want to get you in and out. Its very loud. They also sat us in a seat upstairs acrosse from the bathroom entrance and facing the waiter station. Which wasn't very pleasant. No need to go back here.

Had a great time catching up with old friends over delicious food. The pan de queso was especially a favorite as well as the bone marrow.
