Lola's Garden

Came here for brunch. Everything was fantastic. Food was mouth watering, drinks were great, service was quick and attentive.

Stopped by Lola's Garden just for dessert and a drink. I haven't eaten here since I had a not good some time ago. It was bad enough that I never went back except for a late night drink that was also awful. I ordered a cocktail that happened to be on tap and it tasted like nothing. Looked pretty but that was it. So giving this another try/test. I checked the menu before going and was all set on the Apple Tart. Got there and no apple tart on the menu, so already disappointed. I landed on the Strawberry Shortcake. I asked the server if I could order a side of ice cream and she said she didn't see why not so I ordered a side of salted caramel ice cream. A few minutes later she came back and said she wasn't sure why but the chef said he can't do a side of ice cream. Absolutely makes no sense! And that dry ass cake needed the ice cream. He darn sure should have added it. That cake was sooo dry it was like eating days old cake that had been sitting out. The whipped cream on top was flavorless and tasted like whipped milk. The server asked me how it was and I told her it was so dry. I'll just say she and I had a good chat. I also had the Taken for Pomegranate cocktail. The cocktail was really good. I don't want to say surprising, but it is.The best thing about this place is the restaurant inside and out is beautiful and the server was a gem. Back to I won't be back here...again.

I was coming from west Philly and meeting my friend coming from Wayne and she suggested Lola's Garden. What a delightful choice! First of all, the place is beautiful. The outside space with natural wood, big fans and beautiful tables would definitely have been the choice had it not been one of the hottest summers on record in Philly so we opted for inside... which is also beautiful. I really do love the garden aesthetic. The food was delicious! The menu is very seasonal and the summer options made it hard for me to choose. Fresh summer-ingredients-forward. Corn and tomatoes were highlighted throughout. I ordered the trout and it was delicious! The skin was perfectly crispy with delicate flaky meat plated with a wonderful sauce, crunchy veggies, mixed grain salad. I loved every bite. My friend ordered the gnocchi and she said it was very good. Dessert was a crème brûlée with shortbread crust and raspberry and mint. Delicious! I'm rarely in Ardmore but this restaurant would be a reason to visit. I recommend!

It's not often you find a comforting space that serves delicious brunch and provides great service, but Lola's Garden proved to be a winner with both. I visited over the weekend with a friend. She hadn't arrived yet but they allowed me to be seated at a table. It was a very busy day for Lola's, however, the staff were friendly and efficient. While I waited, I ordered an espresso martini. I haven't had one in a while but this cocktail didn't give me the jolt of energy I was waiting for. Still very tasty though! My entree was the falafel. I don't know what made me think the falafel would be served inside the pita bread but the pita was on the side instead. The falafel itself was amazing - not too dry and perfectly crunchy! The fries were excellent, too. Our waitress was so sweet and checked in every so often. She noticed we were catching up and reassured us there was absolutely no rush to leave. We ended up being one of the last few customers in there. There were other waiters and waitresses floating around helping to clear tables and refill our waters. I've heard Ardmore participates in their own Restaurant Week and I think this would be an awesome place to take advantage of the specials! Next time, I'll try Lola's for lunch or dinner.

Got to Lola's around when they were opening for lunch. Because of the time which was still pretty early for lunch, we were one of the few there though as we were leaving you saw it picking up. The place is nice, with outdoor and indoor seating available. It was chilly so we opted for inside and it is a nice, clean comfortable space with a mini indoor garden feel to it. The food was great. I'm not a big brussel sprouts person, but the General Tso Fried Brussel Sprouts are possibly the best I've ever had. I would change the name cause it's not spicy and more creamy, so don't expect a General Tso taste but wow is it good. I would go just for them lol. The Smoked Salmon was tasty. The Fried Chicken Sandwich was really good. It was crispy with nice moist chicken and they do not scrimp on the sauce. A little messy but in a good way.

I have been wanting to eat at Lola's garden forever! We are always in this area and I'm always jealous of everyone who is sitting in their outdoor section enjoying the good food while enjoying the ambiance outside! What surprised me the most was how good the drinks were! The food wasn't necessarily spectacular but it honestly was just right and I can see why people eat hair pretty often. The service felt like family! Our waitress Simone is a true gem who you can tell is loved by all the staff. She was very honest about the menu favorites and made great suggestions that we enjoyed.We will definitely be back.

A place to blow cash when you wanna treat yoself with some nice cocktails and ambiance. The food is hit or miss, but their happy hour and brunch isn't bad. Their drinks are always great, though. One of my favorite espresso martinis. A bit pricey, but they have more affordable options so it's not a guaranteed hurt wallet. Solid.

Came here with my friend for dinner. Had an amazing time, and were surprised to learn it's Ardmore Restaurant week!We both ordered cocktail flights (Mostly Tequila, and Mostly Vodka). Both were good. The server was a bit confused on which flight was which and couldn't remember the beverages but that's okay we figured it out.My friend ordered the restaurant week menu. She got the Haricot Vert & Frisée Salad, Dutch Country Porcini Chicken Breast, and "Soft Serve" Cheesecake. I ordered the Ham & Melon, along with Duck Fat Fries.Overall a very cute spot with indoor seating, outdoor seating, and a nice bar inside. I recommend it for people shopping in Suburban Square for sure.

starting with service, super sweet! our server was very nice! next up, inside! super pretty, aesthetic, and spacious. lastly, food! the food was very good. I ordered the french toast, which was actually delightful. i'm typically not the sweet person, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I also ordered a side of breakfast potatoes which were crispy, well cooked, and salted. I can't speak for the rest of the food i'll have pictured, as it was not my food.

Lola's Garden has since improved with the welcoming of a new chef. I came a long time ago. It was very good, but not great.My recent visit was one where I was absolutely blown away by my dish. I truly haven't had something so delicious in a very long time, and I can't stop thinking about it. I ordered Squid Ink Reginette. This was an umami wonderland. The kimchi sauce....all I can say is WOW. A must try dish.Service was great and I am looking forward to returning.
