Lola Restaurant & Grill

I’ve lived in the building for a while but this was actually my first time trying Lola’s—and I was blown away. The food was fantastic. We shared a few different entrées, and every dish was fresh and flavorful. Our server really made the experience even better. He was attentive and friendly, and suggested the tuna tart, which was a great choice. The atmosphere was perfect—the music, the energy, everything just clicked. Overall, an amazing meal with excellent service. I’m glad I finally stopped in and will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend!

We’ve visited Lola on few occasions while staying in NOBE. The ATMOSPHERE is why go to this place. Very swanky 60’s bar/grill/ steakhouse kind of vibe. While the presentation (hence no food pics) of the food is average at best the quality is superior at this price point, including the wine list. Service is very good though it does seem rushed more than attentive at times. All this said we’ve had the croquette trio, the ahi tartare salads Frutti del mare, filet, strip and a few pasta dishes, all were really a great value and high quality. If you’re looking for a steak at great price point (half of what STK, Osso Buco, et al will cost you) this is the place. You will not be disappointed

Food was amazing, we had the chiken parmesan milanesa and lobster raviolis. Excelent! Service was great too!

We had the best time when visiting Lola, it was my sisters birthday and they went above and beyond. Rey was an amazing server for our table and was so helpful. The food was amazing, really high quality and so tasty. We were all so happy with everything!

It was a really delicious dinner. Your steak is amazing. Thanks a lot. We devoured this divine food like seagulls )))

The food was fantastic. It was like out of the scene When Harry Met Sally with every bite. we got the skewers and the carbonara

Omg, we'd been looking for a great steak on our travels in the USA and this was IT! Gorgeous food - we had the sweet and spicy shrimp (I'll be trying this one at home) and the filet mignon (rare requested) meals. Happy to provide a mocktail option of their cocktail menu and overall was probably top 3 meals of our 6 week trip.

Amazing food, experience and restaurant appeal! The bar, cool artwork, amazing plating, and service were all top quality! The owners have an incredible place and have made a must try restaurant! If you go make sure to order the homemade flan for dessert!

I'm definitely coming here again The mussels were made perfectly,also the atmosphere and service was great and the skirt steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned.

The skirt steak is delicious and surprised about big portion ! Definitely back here soon

TEN STARS!!!!! My husband and I are big foodies and this was one of the best meals of our entire lives and we have eaten all over the world. Everything was perfect! We ate here for our fifteenth wedding anniversary while vacationing here in Miami. You enter the condo building, sign in at the front desk and head upstairs to the black double doors. We had Saratoga sparkling and still water in our own bottles followed by warm bread and an amazing garlic butter spread. My husband had the mussels as his appetizer and I had the Blue cheese croquettes which I sent my compliments to the chef because these with the black fig marmalade was absolutely divine. My husband ordered the catch of the day which was Mahi Mahi and he said it was great! I had the chicken and veggies. For dessert we had crème brûlée and affogato which just so happen to be my two favorite desserts. Definitely a great place for fine dining!

Es una joya Escondida , la comida rica, Tremendo service y bonito lugar, lla decoration was excellent

Service is good. Building is very run down, but the restaurant itself is well kept. There was no one there on Fri at 7pm... our table was the only one, so we were nervous. But people showed up later in the evening. Bread was hot and fresh. The tuna app was good. My Mahi Mahi wasn't great. It was pretty flavorless and a little "fishy". My friend's chicken parm tasted strange and the chicken was just too thin, making the protein to breading ratio off. The best meal was the Churasco, which was a nice size and good flavor. Wine list was ok and cocktails list was just meh.

Came in at 1015, 45 minutes from closing to order a simple meal and drink. I told him I would make it quick and the owner told me it was too late. Even tho it says they close at 11pm. Horrible service. Will not come back.

BUYER BEWARE: service is INCLUDED in the check. Unfortunately, I didn't catch this until after two meals, so I feel pretty cheated by the experience. On the plus side, the ceviche was excellent. The catch of the day didn't taste fresh--more like tough, frozen fish. The veggies with it were very good. Cute atmosphere. A nice option in a strip of Miami Beach that doesn't have much to offer. Just read that bill CAREFULLY!!!!

It taste amazing..Spinach dish with mushrooms and leeks is good.. The chicken Parmensan also was excellent. The location has vallet parking.

The service is great. The kids of the employees or owners running around barefoot was disgusting. That definitely has to be a health code violation. They don't serve any cocktails unless it's on the preset menu. We ordered gnocchi and it had so much curry in it I thought I was at an Indian restaurant not Italian. The ambience could be better if they closed the curtains so you didn't see a rooftop in need of desperate repair.

Lola is an amazing place, I highly recommended The atmosphere is great, perfect for family and couples. We Will back soon. Thanks for made us feel like at home

The food at Lola's is always a delight, the servers are always attentive and aware of your needs, and the ambiance of the restaurant feel comfy and private which i love. Lola's made me and family's night! And the mussels are my absolute favorite!!

The food was a terrible and so expensive. I got the salmon and it literally tasted like a frozen dinner someone heated up in a microwave. Sooooooo disappointed and such a waste of money.

All I can say is 10 out of 10 in every way possible is how our experience was. Service 20/10 supper nice people really good recommendations, food 20/10 I went with my family and we got different meals and no one had anything other then amazing things to say about their food including mine truly amazing, Ambiance 20/10 I loved the way that it felt private, elegant and I felt comfortable. Me and my family had the best time here and we are definitely coming back we have never been to a restaurant where we can all agree that we all enjoyed our food and had nothing bad to say about it.

Everything about Lola was charming, elegant, and delicious. Restaurant was empty when we arrived, but we weren't crowded by the wait staff. The ambience is romantic and whimsical. The staff were knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. Cocktails were delicious and beautiful in presentation. We ordered tuna tartare, which was exquisite, followed by three very different dishes: chicken parm, Mahi Mahi special, and spaghetti frutti di mare. Each was delicious! So happy to have found this hidden gem.

The best always!! Rica comida, ambiente perfecto y excelente atención te sigo visitando y no me decepcionas LOLA!!

We came in 2018 and when I learned we were going to be in Miami in 2023, I told her that we'd be doing Lola for the first meal in town. I'm not sure how we learned about the restaurant years ago, but now that we know about it, we'll come back every time. It's eclectic. Dark. Romantic. The food is stunning. The sauces with items are phenomenal. It's off the beaten path. Inside a dated and rundown condo building. There's never really many tables filled. Don't let this scare you off. It's amazing. Spicy Mango marg I had tonight - delicious. She had Caesar salad and the chicken parm. I had the provoleta, the ribeye, we shared a dessert. The bread is fresh. The butter is garlic butter. The veggies served with the steak sautéed and flavorful. Her side mashed had a smoky bacon fat flavor. Some reviews comment on the 18% service fee. Get over it. It's some of the best restaurant food you'll ever have.

Buyer Beware. This is a 2 part review. For the good part. Food and service were very good and I have no complaint when it comes to eating and being served. Definitely recommend when it comes to that. The beware part is the hidden charge and again this is just for consumers information, I am not telling people not to go because again the food is worth it but when you first walk in the restaurant at the Host stand there is a sign stating they charge 3.5% for using a credit card. There was no host and as soon as we walked in the server sat us, even if I did see it I already paid for Valet Parking and it was a Sunday Night so I wasn't going to leave. In very small print on the bottom of the menu it does state there would be an additional charge but it is very small print at bottom of menu. There is also a 2% resort charge that the city of Miami Beach does add as well so on top of the 7.35% sales tax and the 2% resort fee if you don't carry cash you will also be charged for using your credit card. Just want people to understand that the food is very good but be prepared to pay a total of almost 13% on top of the Subtotal and Gratuity.

What a hidden gem! It's tricky getting in as it's in a residential building that is under construction. You have to know about the restaurant but it has ocean views, great food and great service! Both delicious! Beet salad Tuna cerviche Salmon- yessss Quinoa salad - ok

Nice place. Great romantic vibes. The red sangria was delicious. The fruit at the bottom was fresh papaya. The shirt steak was delicious, had it with fries couldn't sub. Got cream spinach on the side. Also ordered the catch of the day. It was snapper it was very good too. Soup of the day was lobster bisque and it was the bomb. The complimentary bread was good too

We were expecting a standard, if slightly overpriced meal, as everything in Miami Beach that we'd experienced seemed to go for a premium; but we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and service at Lola's! The salmon and yellowtail fillets were both juicy, tender, and well balanced in flavor; and the mashed potatoes and spinach gratin were so delicious that even my boyfriend, someone who hates mashed potatoes, liked it. The ice cream was alright but we appreciated that the staff put in some effort to add some chocolate drizzle and make it a little fancy. The food wasn't the only standout, though. The service was truly top notch. Our waiter was welcoming and polite, always sensing when we were running low on water. This was probably the best service we've experienced in Miami! Overall, this is a great place for a casual to upscale dinner!

Mi experiencia en lola restaurant fue maravillosa la atención el ambiente , la calidad y presentación de los platos fue fantástica. Gracias lola restaurant por hacer de esa noche una velada espectacular

I had an amazing dinning experience with my husband here! We were the only ones in the restaurant and the waiters were super attentive and friendly. We had the ribeye steak and a bowl of vodka pasta. It was without a doubt the best steak we have ever had. It was such a welcoming and comfortable environment as well. We will definitely be returning when we are in town again!

We usually come here as it is very accessible to us. Food on average is delicious . Service can be good or bad. I had good servers and some with attitudes. One thing that kinda sets me off is not serving tap water and charging me a bottle of bottled water $8 which they called "regular " . I thought tap & regular were synonymous. Another thing on the receipt indicates "Gratuity is not a Tip". That drove me to google it and they are right but can be arguable . Lesson learned - read your receipts and clarify terms before agreeing.

Lola was an experience. The food was at best Mediocre. I had the skirt steak and my bed half had the New York steak. We shared a salad when I ordered the skirt steak I asked for medium. The server was so polite and so nice and the New York State was on the side. The salad we shared was actually excellent, but things went downhill pretty fast. the service were trying to do everything in their power to have the kitchen, give us our food in a prompt timely manner together after waiting a considerable amount of time food came out my skirt steak was like rubber New York steak was actually pretty good. After we halfway through with our food, we finally got our drinks again. The server is what saved the experience. The drinks were quite good. I think they really need better expediter in the kitchen. They had a nice crowd. The ambience was OK. It was friendly, but so many people were complaining. The only thing I can say is the prices were really reasonable for the location. Till next time, bon appétit.

Great atmosphere inside the restaurant. Hotel/resort is dated. Food is very average, but a good value for the price.

My family and I came here for dinner and we were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was! We had two appetizers to share, the Peruvian Style Ceviche Mixito and the Tuna Tartar, which our waiter highly recommended. Both dishes had good quality seafood. The ceviche was light and refreshing and the tuna tartar was flavorful and did not have a fishy aftertaste compared to other tuna dishes I have tried before. For the entrees, we had the Fettucine Carbonara, the catch of the day (recommended by our waiter) and the Skirt steak. I had shrimp added to the Fettucine Carbonara and the pasta dish was very good, not too heavy but still very rich. The fish was very delicious and had citrusy sauces that complimented it well. The skirt steak was flavorful and tender as well. The waiter was very attentive and made excellent recommendations. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Amazing service & the food was also amazing. The restaurant was very clean and had good music. I recommend the Peruvian ceviche, was honestly the best restaurant we went to on this trip. we will definitely be back!

Was looking for a restaurant in my neighborhood that I hadn't been to yet ...and found Lola! I don't tend to enjoy going to restaurants that are inside hotels or condo buildings but I decided to give it a try (and it did not disappoint). I went with my parents and my toddler, they were accommodating and kind to us. The decor was really interesting very artsy and unique. We ate the blue cheese croquettes, the chimichurri chicken and fettuccine carbonara. All was excellent and the portions were large... we had enough to take home and eat the next day. We finished the evening with the Natilla Catalina which was also very well made! I was impressed by this little hole in the wall tucked inside a condominium but pleasantly surprised!

Really cool decor, but the food was subpar. I ordered the skirt steak and the flavor just wasn't there. This place is also located inside a hotel that almost look abandoned and smells of cigarette smoke. I found this place on Yelp with great reviews. But the only good thing about it was the decor. It's really swanky and unique. But I'd never go back. They were also doing construction right outside the restraint windows, so there's nothing nice to look at.

I had my birthday dinner at the restaurant. They sand the birthday song for me. It was so cute. We had Catch of the day that was the mahi mahi fish. It was so delicious with veggies.

Speakeasy vibe. Beautiful, intimate, moody decor. Friendly and efficient service. Absolutely delicious food. Not sure why this place wasn't packed. I'm guessing it's because it's hidden in an apartment building. But I would definitely return if I come back to Miami. Thank you, Ricardo and Luis.

The food at Lola was absolutely delicious!! I got the yellow snapper which was so juice, flavourful and cooked to perfection. The spinach au gratin side was yummy too. I would have liked some more veggies on my plate, but other than that it was good. The white wine sangria was delicious!!! Highly recommend!

We arrived exactly when the restaurant opened at 6pm and we were all glad we did this place is delicious! The decor is very nice and service was great only complaint are the tables are a bit too small if you order multiple plates or appetizers and by accident a porcelain container fell off the table I have big arms. We ordered blue cheese croquettes and provoleta with chimichurri appetizers they were both fire! Then we ordered skirt steaks and chicken chimichurri with rice and beans everything was just wow amazingggggg! I will definitely eat here again only bad thing is parking good thing I was at the Hilton Cabana near by and we walked to the restaurant which is a couple blocks away only.

Due to its reasonable prices for upscale international cuisine, Lola is a favorite go-to restaurant for Miami Beach locals. We love their Provoleta cheese, Spicy Beef Salad with fresh fennel (ask for additional spice level), and Skirt Steak (cooked exactly to your desired temperature and full of flavor!) with skinny fries. The flavors are bold, and the presentation is quite pleasant. Lola is a great place for a date night or celebrating with a big table of friends. The bar is very pretty and watching the mixologist shaking his cocktails was entertaining. Enjoy a fabulous meal from the kind owners and efficient staff who put forward their best effort to provide clients with a fabulous meal in a lovely, cozy setting. The owner is highly tuned to customers, jumping in to handle every single detail in support of her staff, including table-clearing and bread-refilling. We witnessed her in action one Saturday night when the place was packed and they were short-handed one chef... she is very honorable and deserves success. In summary, I highly recommend Lola for locals looking for a hearty bistro style meal or tourists looking NOT to be taken advantage of. It's a popular little spot and can get crowded on Friday/Saturday nights, so be sure to check it out during the week if you wish to enjoy a more low-key vibe. I also recommend you make a reservation... super easy to do on Yelp!

Walking into Lola with new work colleagues/friends, I was nervous to hang out socially with them for the first time. We were welcomed warmly into a lovely, hip, trendy, modern vibe. At first it wasn't busy, so we were all like "what the heck, is this not a good restaurant?!" But quickly learned that we had made the right choice. The art and decor can most accurately be described as "dope" and "edgy." So cool. They were very accommodating to my friend who is lactose intolerant and the server knew which menu items did not have dairy (he got the mole pork chops- YUM!!!!). My cocktail was super fresh - coming from the cold, gritty blue collar town of Pittsburgh, my cucumber cocktail was a light, refreshing, and well balanced. I actually had TWO hehe . As rapper/actor William Smith says," Welcome to Miami", am I right?!?! We all liked our dishes - I ordered the spinach and ricotta ravioli. I'm a tough Italian cuisine critic (I mean heck, I had Grandma Sis's homemade Italian growing up after all!) and can say that it was excellent! Perfectly cooked and flavored and a generous portion that I couldn't even finish even tho I wanted to keep eating! We shared stories of our first kiss (mine was at the movies during Forces of Nature starring Hollywood's Benjamin Affleck and Sandy Bullock). Well done. Thank you for a perfect and dare I say MAGICAL evening.

I was staying at the Fountainbleau and wanted a nice dinner. Found Lola on Yelp. We were kind of thrown off by the location because it looks like a residential building...and it is! Lola is located inside. The restaurant is nice however they are remodeling the outside of the building so the view out the window is pretty bad. Our service was attentive and amazing. The food was really great! Is it the glossy restaurant with a scene? No, but if you want something quiet with great food, you'll enjoy it here.

The service and ambiance were superb! I celebrated my birthday and appreciated the excellent service and delicious food.

Great food, service and drinks!! Was super close to our hotel! Ambiance was great! Cool decor and paintings!! I will love to visit again!

Was charged a gratuity but when checking out it didn't show that; I noticed it the next day when I was tossing receipts. The server gave me the device to pay and it just showed the total and asked if I wanted to leave a tip.

Well we had Thanksgiving reservations and made them on Yelp. was asked to confirm several time that we were coming just to arrive and find out the restaurant was closed. Not sure where the disconnect was but so disappointing.

OK, I should do a several pages review to let everyone know how great our experience was but I'm not feeling like writing much & I have to do it. My GF picked this restaurant (secretly) to celebrate my last BD. We were a small group of 7. When we walked into the building I was surprised by how old everything looks, it's like being in a movie from the 80's. And one lady on the front takes care of everything (parking, directions, greetings). Going to the main point, the restaurant is super nice, modern with a classic touch, good music, low light, romantic, great services and excellent food. Philips took good care of us, he's very passionate about his job, and friendly. Ask him whatever and he will know it or find the answer! We'll definitely go back soon and I suggest you to check it out if you haven't done it yet.

Yes! New Years Eve Dinner at Lola's. I ordered a pasta carbonara and it was essentially so much thin, undercooked, bacon slathered with decent pasta. The service was average at first, a little confusing not being able to change a side and have to order a side of fries or rice and beans for $12 isn't great. The lighting is bad inside and tight. At the end of it all for a flank steak, carbonara, two sides (fries=good) (rice and beans=bad) , an appetizer, two drinks and a desert for 250 dollars. Then when asking for an itemized receipt they double charged us for two things!!! After asking a manager to fix this mistake they did a great job by only double charging us for one item, so we paid and left. I will never go again.

This restaurant is amazing. The food is delicious. Great customer service and a Romantic ambient.

Good food nice experience still under construction in the outside the only foul not a full bar for that I can't give the 5 stars good luck guys

The ambiance and setting is ideal for a date, dinner with friends or family or any celebration. The dim lighting and music tantalize the senses and sets the stage for a great evening. The food is excellent.. I had the sweet and spicy curry shrimp for appetizer .. the flavors were superb I wanted more!! Then the lemon herb salmon for entree.. well seasoned and cooked to my preference. The service is great, awesome staff and made us feel so special celebrating our Anniversary. Overall great experience. Would highly recommend.

Really good ambience and food quality!!! Almost Michelin star and a surprisingly very pleasant service. really classy decor and feel to it I will recommend this any day or evening with your loved ones!!! VK from CT

Just went here today and boy was it delicious! The service was great too. Fast, attentive, and non-invasive. My boyfriend and I split the flap steak & yellow tail and both were phenomenal. I also got the spinach gratin & he got the rice and beans. The sides had immaculate flavor as well. Highly recommend! We had only stopped by because it was a 5 min walk from our hotel--- we had no idea it would be so great!

Absolutely amazing food! We got the New York steak, skirt steak, salmon, pork chops, and the Thai beef salad and everything was outstanding. Our server was Christian and he was very attentive to our needs the whole time. Would come again!
