Lolita's Wine Market

Lolita has great tapas all fresh served with an attractive presentation. They have a nice wine list and the server is knowledgeable and is able to choose a suitable wine for you. Inside is cozy. They have many cheese platters . For health reasons I'd like to see more vegetarian dishes without any cheese All in all always a delightful dining experience.

Sometimes you have to find a very different place to eat. It can be the meals from another restaurant, another culture, another region or such. It has to be different on many levels. It also has to represent what you might be doing in the area when you decide to go out.If you find yourself in the "Art District" there are many possibilities there beside a typical meal. This is where you find things different and cross many cultures at once.This night we were in our art district and at the ceramic school and studio. It is in the old train station. It has gone through changes at time, but one of the newest changes was the creation of Lolita's Wine Market. It was different.It is not a typical wine bar. Instead this is a mix of wines from different regions. Wines of different styles and tastes and flavors. Wines that would be different depending on what you eat.And, with the meals more like those in Spain with their Tapas, this is the perfect place to be where you can have some wine and a selection of tapas and "boards". These boards are a vast selection to choose from. It is a combination of cheese, meats, olives, breads, jams and other items depending on what you prefer. There is Italian and Spanish and a touch of American. For us we went with the French Board. It is a combination of Delicede Bourgogne Triple Cream, Buchde Chèvre. Tommede Savoie. Rosemary Ham, Rosettede Lyon Salami. Cornichons. DarkChocolate. Cabernet Berry Jam. This was the place to start with a red wine we selected for this.It was a perfect combination.Next we had The Farmer's Board. This included Moroccan-spiced Lemon Hummus. Heirloom Carrots. White Bean Giardineria. PickledVegetables. Golden Beets. MarinatedArtichokes.Corn Arepas.Balsamic Fig Jam. For this we decided to go with a light white wine. The dishes were ideal and we could have had more. We had the pre-selected boards but you can make your own combination of what you want and how you create it. The wine is a large selection of different tastes and feelings. You can go back many times and try to try it all. For the last item we did have the Tres Leche Cake. That was light and ideal, along with a cup of coffee. Overall, this is the place to be. It is off the beaten path and not where you might expect. Maybe it is time to take the train and see what is waiting for you when you arrive there.Lolita's. Now that is a work of art.

This is the second time I've been to Lolita's since they moved locations. They are now located in an old house by the Morean Center for Clay with an intimate dining room. They also have an amazing outdoor seating area. Their wine selections are out of this world. The food is fantastic. Whenever I come to Lolitas I want to try as much as possible. They offer different options for charcuterie with a great selection of meats and cheeses. We had a cheese board that we customized, the burrata, and for dessert the tres leches cake. Everything was amazing. Great service. Our Spanish red wine was a perfect compliment to our meal. I recommend if you'd like to sit in the dining room to make a reservation as they don't have too many tables. They are open Wednesdays - Saturdays from 5:00pm - 9:30pm and Sundays from 5:00pm - 8:30pm.

Lolita's Wine Bar has become one of my go-to spots since I moved to St. Pete three years ago. The charcuterie and small plates are absolutely incredible--always fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. Whether you're planning a girls' night to sip wine and chat, or looking for a cozy date night spot, Lolita's checks all the boxes. It's a small, intimate space, which gives it a cozy vibe, but that also means seating can be a bit limited, especially during busy times. If the weather's nice, though, the outdoor seating area is a great option for larger groups. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend giving it a try--you won't regret it!

Heard great things about Lolita's and finally was able to check it out! Came here with a group of friends as they have an outdoor patio but we sat inside. Beautiful decor and a great wine list! It is more tapas style. Service was great and had a great dining experience. Must get the Lola board from the signature boards and I would skip the paella. I'll definitely come back!

We have been going to Lolita's for years now and just experienced their new location at Morean Clay Center. A historic train station turned into a clay studio and art center. We LOVED eating outdoors in their new space. It will definitely be great during the fall, winter, and spring, but summer will be difficult. They do offer inside seating but it is a smaller space over all. Hopefully they will be able to expand into part of the station. They were forced to move from their old location as it's being torn down for a new apartment complex. While the location has changed, their food and wine remain superb! The food is ALWAYS excellent! We have never had anything bad at Lolita's. Their tres leches was served in a coconut with conunte meat still intact. That was fun to see placed in front of us.Parking should not be a problem, unless the clay center is having an event. They have brunch on Sundays 10:30am - 1:30pm head to their website to make reservations. Their staff is always on point, but last night I really enjoyed listening to Roland with his guests. I could tell he is super passionate about food and enjoys sharing what Lolita's has to offer it's guest. I will be asking for him as a server on our next visit. Our dishes: Charcutier board: Black Pepper Salami, Rosemary Ham, Palacuos Chorizo, honey with honey comb, truffled goat cheese peppadews (one of my favorites), Cabernet berry jam, via arra bread+crackers, manchego, and two other cheeses.. I can't remember the names. Cold Plate: Truffle Focaccia - black truffle mushroom ricotta, grana padano, truffle honey, mad n salt, baby arugula. Hot Plates:Scallops - ancho-espresso spiced, butternut squash ravioli, apple-jicama slaw, sage mojo. Beef Short Ribs - gorgonzola-cracjed pepper gnocchi fondue, tempranillo demi, wild mushroom gremolata, crispy shallotsDessert: Tres Leches Cake - sponge cake, 3 milks, pineapple compote, toasted coconut, meringue, served in a coconut They have an extensive wine list online. There is a QR Code on the table that will take you to their wine menu. Don't forget to leave them a review here on Yelp and on Google Business! I hope you enjoy them as much as we have over the years.

I love this place!!It moved from 16th street a little while ago to the new location.It's small and cozy so you need a reservation. Lots of outside seating too.We tried the brunch this week and it was incredible!Lots of amazing shareable food, spreads and boards that you can pick from or the waiter will help you build a board!Great fun wine choices and fun cocktails too!The food is incredible and really fun to get a few things to share Great for a group!

Our server Roland was amazing , his knowledge of wine and suggestions was really impressive , he made our experience . The inside is adorable , as is the outdoor seating , it was a chilly night so we opted for inside it had an old San Juan Vibe . The food was equally as delicious, however everything was VERY rich. The wine choices were also pretty good for by the glass , I appreciated their conversational pour.I thought their tapas were a bit pricey, however , they did give LARGE portions . Much larger than any other tapas restaurant I've been. Will return .

Unbelievable food, wine, and service. The charcuterie choices are amazing and I enjoyed what I consider to be the best ceviche I have ever eaten. The pic really doesn't do it justice. Ahi, jalapeño, lychee tomatillo, red onion, toasted corn and the most surprising and wonderful component... served over a passion fruit granita which kept it chilled and added an amazing flavor profile, contrasting the spicy tuna. Bravo! The presentation for all dishes was outstanding and the wines by the glass were stellar ... and we had many.

One of my favorite places - the food is AMAZING. They are always incredible to help with wine selections.
