Lola Rose

"Despite a name that sounds like a veteran can-can dancer at the Moulin Rouge, Lola Rose is in fact an upscale Levantine restaurant on the second floor of the Thompson Hotel. It’s also one of the hottest tables in town. The ornate multi-room space includes several dining rooms, a large bar, and a lounge area where everybody eats mezze on couches. It’s an ideal dinner destination if you’re with a big group, especially when half your friends still shout “girl dinner!” after ordering hummus and crudité. Don’t neglect the seafood entrees, though, which tend to be the best dishes here: perfectly grilled octopus with butter beans, swordfish kebabs, and smoky spot prawns bathing in cucumber yogurt." - brant cox

"Perched on the second-floor rooftop of the Thompson Palm Springs is Lola Rose. It’s become quite the spot since opening in November 2024, where a Levantine-inspired menu includes grilled octopus, spicy lamb kebab, garlicky toum, and a bone-in braised lamb neck with za’atar. Order the shakshuka and enjoy the view of the pool." - Mona Holmes, Eater Staff
