Lola’s Restaurant & Bar

Loved our happy hour here! I had walked past the sign outside advertising their specials many times so it was fun to finally make it in here. To drink, I had a lemon drop martini. My friends had spicy margaritas, a cosmopolitan, and a cherry cola old fashioned. I thought the happy hour drink menu was very substantial and liked the variety of options. My only issue was that the mocktails were the same cost as the martinis even though they didn't have nonalcoholic spirits in most of them. My group didn't order the mocktails but I found it to be an odd way to price things. Food was yummy. The whipped ricotta hit the spot-- it was creamy and topped with honey. This was complimented by the slightly toasted baguette. We also got the truffle fries which were not a happy hour special but were so worth it. The bowl was huge-- we devoured every last crumb. I think that this would be a great spot for a girls night or a date!

I might be hanging myself here but what inspiring style/space I melt when I see the attention to the detail. Sprouts and sweet potato delicious. Really nice ambiance . What a gem.

Ambiance :Lola's exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere that strikes a perfect balance between modern sophistication and rustic charm. The dimly lit dining room, adorned with tasteful artwork and cozy wooden accents, creates an intimate setting that is perfect for a romantic date night or a special celebration. Service:The service at Lola's was impeccable. From the moment I was seated, I was greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable server who took the time to explain the evening's specials and answer any questions I had about the menu. Throughout the meal, the staff was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that my dining experience was top-notch.Cuisine:Lola's menu is a true gastronomic masterpiece, featuring a diverse range of dishes that cater to a variety of tastes. The fusion of flavors and ingredients was simply outstanding. We started with the whipped ricotta which was melt in your mouth fantastic. We also decided to get the Lola's salad. The salads are huge and tasty. For the main course, I opted for the Lola's filet mignon, and it was cooked perfectly (medium). My dining partner chose the cheeseburger, which was juicy and flavorful. The cocktails were really good too!!

Attentive and engaging staff, pretty drinks, and nice vibes! Love that they have a "girl meal" special. The happy hour had some great deals for both apps and drinks. All around good time. Check it out! The pasta was really good with adding a meatball recommended (both options of rigatoni and #12 pasta!) and drinks were good and strong, especially for the price.

Lola's is the perfect restaurant for an after work dinner. The west loop has so many restaurants to choose from and Lola's is definitely a good choice. I really loved the dim lighting and intimate atmosphere it made for. Our servers were friendly and enthusiastic about serving my cousin and I. At the table we had our choice of still or sparkling water. I chose sparkling and I felt fancy since it came in a wine glass. For drinks my cousin got the passion fruit margarita and I got the clover club. Both were good drinks. For our appetizers I ordered curried cauliflower and my cousin had the house meatballs which she thought was filling. The curried cauliflower was so good. This can really be an entree if you like to eat light or eat vegan. Then came the main meal. We both ordered fish, only I got the white fish and she the salmon. We enjoyed both our fish. I liked how the white fish tasted with the cherry tomatoes and the salsa. My cousin liked the salmon and only wish she had more of it to eat. I would definitely take an out of towner here to introduce them to the restaurant scene and have a nice chat to catch up.

The energy here is fabulous. Happy Hour Menu is savagely on point. If Mike is at the bar you're in great hands. Plus, they have high quality Australian Lamb Chops!!!

This place might have some of the more unique mocktails I've found in the Chicago area. I got the strawberry mojito which was delicious! The service was great - got my water refilled so many times - which I truly appreciated because the food was on the saltier side. I loved the fries they gave, wish the burger I got was a little less salty. But overall, I appreciated the time and would recommend for others to try this place out :)

Phenomenal brunch this morning at Lola's! You should definitely all check out the "badass brunch" on Sundays. Don't miss out on the avocado toast and house made sausage, although everything on the menu is very good. Service is lovely, welcoming, and very gracious.

Lola's, once a promising upcoming restaurant, now sits at a crossroads with a revised rating of 3 stars. In a recent visit, the beef in the burger raised concerns as it seemed to lack the freshness it once boasted. The removal of the banana split sundae, a past favorite, has left dessert options feeling less exciting, replaced by a new fudge sundae with noticeably a subpar ingredients.The cherry cola old fashioned cocktail, previously a nuanced delight, seems to have lost its charm, now dominated by the taste of whiskey and missing the multifaceted flavors that defined it. Notably, the absence of Jacob, the former bartender lead and creative force behind the inspired drinks, is felt in the overall experience.While still a decent spot with a chill environment, Lola's appears to have lost a bit of the brilliance that once set it apart. Here's hoping for a rekindling of the magic that made Lola's a notable destination.

Great service, wide variety of food options, very much a "girls night out" type of menu and vibe. The Greek salad, burrata, and turkey sandwich were delicious. Randomly, there's even a ribeye steak on the menu... I don't see that being a big seller with the amount of steakhouses we have for options. Creative cocktails too, and very girly.
