Lola

I swear, every time I come here, I want to eat the entire menu. The food is excellent and the service is top notch! You can’t go wrong with Lola. If you want to be seated quickly though, definitely make a reservation. The space is smaller and it’s always a packed house.

From the moment we stepped into this charming Spanish tapas restaurant, we were greeted with warmth and elegance. The crispy artichoke and croquettes were absolute delights, bursting with flavor and perfectly crunchy. I indulged in a refreshing non-alcoholic rose that complemented my meal beautifully. My mom opted for the breakfast plate which featured crispy house-made potatoes, savory pancetta, and whole wheat toast with raspberry orange jam alongside impeccably flavored scrambled eggs. Each bite was a testament to their commitment to quality ingredients and skillful preparation. The atmosphere here is simply enchanting with its classy decor and abundant natural light, accompanied by great music that enhanced our dining experience. The service was exemplary; attentive yet unobtrusive, ensuring our glasses were always full and our needs promptly met. Overall, this restaurant exudes a fantastic vibe that is perfect for any occasion, whether a casual brunch or a special evening out. We can't wait to return and explore more of their enticing menu. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great food, impeccable service, and a welcoming ambiance!

A great neighborhood find, with a simple, classy, light interior. Parking is limited, reservations are suggested, seating is limited and the bar is small. We ordered a selection of small plates, one at a time, and the kitchen was timely, even when the restaurant filled up. The food is excellent; the tapas are creative and flavorful. While there is a full bar and wine list, both have limited selections.

One of the favorite restaurants in Nashville! The ambience and service is great and the food is delicious. Great for a date night or girls dinner. Amazing patio to enjoy a nice weather evening.

Lola produces stellar food, service, and atmosphere. I’ve spent two weeks in Spain—Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Granada—and Lola slaps. Check the menu before you go to make sure you’re prepared to pay for the experience you want.

This hidden gem is nestled in Sylvan Park, and while the atmosphere is very beautiful, the food was a little bit of a letdown. It wasn't bad, but nothing that blew us away. It is a tapas style menu, and we ordered 2 entrees, 3 smaller dishes, as well as a dessert. The Papa Bravas were ok, but just not the best I've had. However, I will say, of the places I've had octopus in Nashville, this is the best cooked octopus I've had yet. The croquettes were a mushroom and leak, and honestly, I think the color turned me off more than anything once they were cut open. The Basque Cheesecake was not the sweet we expected, but it was more of a savory dessert. It's not my personal preference, but I can see where people would love it. Personally, I wish it would have had a sauce, even if on the side for dipping or to pour over, but that's not how the chef designed this dish. Like I said, though, just a personal preference.

This place is SO SO GOOD! I joined 2 dear friends for dinner tonight at Lola. We did have a reservation, but it looks like Wednesday might be a good day to sneak in if you decide to come last minute. The space is so great. I can only imagine how wonderful it is during the day. I bet it's full of light! The service was wonderful. Everyone was friendly and attentive. The food... THE FOOD. If you follow me at all, you know that I tend to eat gluten-free while out to avoid barley and that cross contamination does not affect me. Well... Nearly the entire menu is or can easily be made gluten-free. There were only about five items total that I couldn't order, and they even have gluten-free crackers so that you can eat the delicious eggplant dip. We tried a number of tapas and the octopus entree. I would literally eat everything again, but those lemon artichokes are to die for. The octopus entree is divine. And the dessert we chose was a perfect end. In total, we shared four appetizers and one entree. I had one drink, and I believe my companions had two or three each. Our total was about $200 before tip, which is incredibly fair for the location and quality of food. You should definitely give this place a shot and make sure you come with someone who likes to share plates.

What a gem! The food is delicious. The flavors ar so unique and delicious. We got to sit in the patio and it was a wonderful vibe in the fall weather. Our server was attentive and great.
