What our guests are saying
I bought my daughter and her fiance here for an early Sunday dinner. We were able to sit outside on a beautiful day. The only thing that was finer than the food was the service. This was my second visit here, and I was not expecting the first experience to be topped. With a pleasant surprise, it was. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Lola’s Latin Bistro was the perfect private restaurant venue for my dad’s 60th surprise party, for which we had 50 guests. The owners, Shiv and Juan, were communicative, knowledgeable, and accommodating throughout the planning process, during the party itself, and even after. At the time we hosted our party (July 2025), Lola’s wasn’t open for lunch, so we had the whole restaurant (and patio!) to ourselves from noon to 4:30pm with a flexible set-up time prior to the party start. Guests arrived around noon, with the surprise guest of honor arriving around 12:30pm. The connectivity from indoor space to outdoor patio takes this venue to the next level; it's perfect for a celebratory cigar and beautiful weather days. For setup, we arrived around 11:15am and had plenty of time to set up with help from the staff. What’s incredible about Lola’s owners and staff is that they don’t just help you with anything and everything, they WANT to help you with anything and everything. They felt more like family friends than restaurant or venue staff. We could tell they truly cared about us, the party, and really wanted to make everything as special as possible. They helped us with everything from the exact table and chair arrangement in the room to decor and even a Spotify playlist. Anytime we needed anything throughout the duration of the party they were eager and willing to help. Appetizers were served family style, then the entrees, and then we did toasts prior to dessert. For parties of 4 or more, they offer a sampling of their menu in a family-style setting for $40 per person with Ropa Vieja (cooked beef stew to perfection over white rice) or $48 per person with skirt steak with 20% required for all reservations of 9 people or more. Some of the other menu favorites were the chorizo ajillo (Spanish sausage sauteed in garlic) and the salmon asado con mango caliente (grilled Atlantic salmon with a mildly spiced mango glaze with pineapple salsa and polenta cakes). Everything was delicious. For drinks, it’s BYOB. We provided red and white bottles of wine which were opened at our direction by the staff and placed on the tables and in ice buckets around the room. Additionally, one pitcher of Lola’s signature red sangria was placed on every table, for which we provided Carlo Rossi Merlot (recommended by the owners, deliciously approved by me). One of my favorite things about Lola’s for a party or special occasion is how colorful it is, leaving us with vibrant and lasting photographs and memories for years to come. As you can see from our photos, guests were smiling and happy, with many complimenting us after the fact on what a fun and well-done party it was. Highly recommend.

Fantastic restaurant; really, I can’t get enough of this place. Great food , service, and music; will be going back for sure . Nice location with outdoor and indoor seating. The food is a nice mixture of different Hispanic and Latin cultures.
