As anyone with a gluten allergy knows, eating out can be stressful. The staff here are genuinely…read moreeducated on gluten-free safety and cross-contamination.A huge warning for anyone visiting the island: many places claim their tortillas are "just corn," but they are often mixed with masa or flour blends that contain gluten is my understanding so I didn't feel comfortable trying any chips or taco stands. Lola's actually brought out their tortillas, let me look at them, and explained how they were made. One meal, I had the gluten-free pancakes, and they were hands-down the best pancakes I have ever had in my entire life!

A reservation was easy to obtain via email and we were all set for a sunset, evening meal. We were warmly welcomed and promptly seated. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere pleasant with an acoustic duo playing mellow tunes in the background. Honestly, we were a little disappointed with the view that most reviews rave about. Our sever was knowledgeable and made several suggestions. We selected the Pepita Crusted Tuna for a starter, my companion had the fresh catch which was grouper, blackened with a side of the peanut sauce. I chose the Surf and Turf. For dessert, we shared the Key Lime Pie. Everything was beautifully presented, and quite artistic. The tuna appetizer was very good, but the main courses were frankly a disappointment. The creativity of the plate did not make up for the lackluster food. The steak was tough and poorly seasoned, the lobster was just passable but also chewy and not tender. The fish was not as well cooked as other restaurants downtown and again the seasoning was lackluster. The sides, lentils and mashed potatoes were just ok. The homemade Key Lime Pie was enjoyable but again seemed to lack a depth of flavor. If the food could match the service, presentation, and atmosphere then perhaps this could be one of Isla's better dining establishments, until then "the juice was not worth the squeeze."

Service was a little slower and prices were a little higher but we did not mind. As it turned out, we were in for quite the night. Every dish was flavorful and better than the next. Their Mezcal Ceviche is not to be missed and their Carne Asada was the best we've had by far. The corn bread is also one of the most unique deserts we have ever had and the bonus on top, was the free live music we were serenaded with. We ended up staying over 2 hours to eat, drink, and listen to great music, people watch, and soak in a true vacation.

I would've liked the actual meat of the fish to be more tender (it bordered on overcooked) but still I walked away plenty satisfied. It does have lots of tiny bones. Bread basket came with the most delicious roasted eggplant in oil, I could've eaten just that with the bread and been a happy camper. The roasted octopus was not bad but a touch too heavy on the sauces for me, I would've wanted more of the flavor of the octopus on its own. The potatoes under the octopus, however, were perhaps my favorite part of the whole meal. Everyone else seemed happy with their food - the catch of the day (with the fluffiest mashed potatoes) was a very popular choice. If you're sick of seafood, they have steak and braised brisket on their menu. Really cozy and romantic ambiance as well for if you want to dress up slightly. This place gets very popular for good reason; I liked the little bar counter they set up out front so you can watch the grilling in action.
