I think Lola is Tom Douglas' best restaurant. The food is remarkable - very rustic with deep, earthy flavors. As with Tom's other kitchens, only the highest quality ingredients make it to the table. This is one of the better places in Seattle to have a nice dinner.

Known for their Greek/Mediterranean dinner menu, I was skeptical to hit Lola for breakfast. It seems Tom Douglas can do no wrong. My colleague and I each had the Lola Breakfast (2 eggs, maple sausage or bacon, and garlic potatoes), and were both very much impressed. Though "just breakfast" the plates were prepared with the same care and attention as any other meal. The potatoes were amazing, and I will be back again and again.

I really like Tom Douglas and his restaurants. I like them all, although I think Etta's is overpriced. Lola's is a great addition to the downtown restaurant scene and to Tom's restaurant portfolio. It's located across the street from the Dahlia lounge. The food is tasty and delicious as expected. The tangines are highly recommended. The restaurant is kind of small and the only downside is how super crowded the bar is ALWAYS. That's pretty annoying, but if you have a reservation for dinner, you should be ok. They also do lunch and breakfast I think.

I've been to Lola a handful of times and have not been disapointed yet. Lola is my favorite of all the Tom Douglas restaurants. Cocktails are perfect- especially the lemon drop. Be adventurous otherwise you could end up eating the same old stuff. My favorite dish is the goat tangine, each time its been prepared differenlty and always out of this world. The quail is also tasty served with pistachios. Try the spread sampler. On our latest visit, a person in our party knew our waitress, so we received this compliments of the house. However, be prepared to order extra of the housemade pita bread- the best I've ever had. Oh and the garlic smashed potatoes- fantastic: perfectly crisp, but creamy with a hint of garlic. Save room for dessert, but again venture out for something you normally wouldn't try like goat chese turnovers or goats milk pie. Be prepared to spend money, but well worth it for the amount of food.

I must have been there on a good night as I had FABULOUS service and AMAZING food - this place trumped my old favorite restaurant is now my new favorite place to rec. and dine at in Seattle. The food is interesting and complex in taste - ambiance is a little dark - everyone is squnched together but you can't hear your neighbors conversation so it seems intimate. Hightly rec. the braised short rib tagine and roasted red pepper relish. Very tasty. The house red is great as well - so no need to scour their really creative wine list. I think that this Tom Douglas restaurant hits the spot and is so much more interesting than some of the other stand bys. Bravo! Pros: Service, Food, Ambiance Cons: Parking

The food was good and served at the right temperature with several little nice touches. Portions were a bit small for the price and once you added sides, etc. it made for a pricey meal. Charging extra for things like more pita bread with a starter is ridiculous at a place of this caliber. Why $3 for one little bowl of pita is a legit charge on a $150 bill is beyond me. Pros: Nice ambience, Good location Cons: Overpriced

This was a tough review. I liked the atmosphere, loved the service, and the food was good-ish. It certainly wasn't bad, but we went for breakfast and while they seem to pride themselves in breakfast, i'd say try em out for lunch. There is something unappealing about the availability for Lamb Tongue @ breakfast time. All in all, breakfast was average in quality, but overpriced. Lunch looks more promising. Pros: Outside the box, Great Service, Relaxed Atmosphere Cons: Odd breakfast menu, Kinda pricey

A little hesitant to stay and order after noticing that gyros were missing from the lunch menu. Fortunately, our decision to stay was rewarded with delicious lamb tongue kabobs with a sweet apple glaze. Warm pita bread with spread. Harrisa is not as spicy as it's described to be. Pros: ambiance , service Cons: price, limited menu

First of all the bar is way too small. We were crammed while we waited for our table. Once we were seated (6 of us) our booth was in the middle of the room with aisles on both sides. It was so loud that we couldn't hear each other without shouting. We ordered; the tongue skewers were overcooked, the dips were uneventful, and the desserts did not come close to Dahila Lounge's. I really like Tom Douglas' food and other restarants but this one needs work!
