"Lola has amassed a cult following due to its Seaport, Nantucket, and Florida locations. Locals and tourists alike flock to Lola for its fun atmosphere, sushi, and inventive cocktail list, but the martini is not to be missed. Try it extra dirty with house-made feta olives, which will make your brine (and cheese) dreams come true." - Anna Darrow
"Our Airbnb was a short Uber from Newbury Street, where I spent an afternoon shopping; the Seaport, where there's countless amazing restaurants to choose from like Lola 42."
"A waterfront restaurant with a 48-seat patio opening as soon as allowed; diners will be encouraged to use an app for contactless menus, ordering, and payment while curbside takeout and delivery remain available." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"A two-year-old restaurant and sushi bar in Boston’s Seaport District, LoLa 42 draws on cuisines from regions along the 41st parallel, which yields a menu ranging from sushi and Korean beef bulgogi to an “Asian inspired” tuna burger and even a Bolognese; the LoLa name stands for “longitude latitude,” with 41 referencing the 41st parallel north, and LoLa 42's menu follows that global 41st-parallel approach." - Terrence Doyle
"Devra First’s tour-de-force double-feature review of LoLa 42 and Maestro’s in the Seaport was as much a cerebral, nimbly worded indictment of unchecked municipal gentrification as it was an opportunity to deliver unflinching food criticism." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
