Traveling with my 5 kids and my wife and we always look for new places to eat. Lola has a cozy yet big enough space for the 7 of us to sit at a single table. The staff was the perfect amount of engaging - being present when needed but not hovering. The food was fantastic. Everyone ate their entire plate. I really enjoyed the bacon and garlic potatoes. My wife enjoyed her granola. On our list to try again. read more

Lola, a Tom Douglas restaurant is amazing. I have not been to this place for a long time. I'm glad I did tonight. I am so glad it has continued to have great food and service. Ambiance is awesome! Lots of people so make your reservations like us. We ordered a shared appetizer - pita bread and all 6 kinds of toppings hummus, tzatziki, and all they offer. Each one of us had an entree ranging from lamb burger, chicken, mushroom and lamb kebabs - all so good. It was so tender and tasty. Enough to fill us. Love it! So good! Kebabs were served on a hot plate. Nice presentation. Service was outstanding. Good attentive service . read more

We've been here in the past. In fact, it's our favorite among the Tom Douglas restaurant empire. We were a group of 6, seated comfortably in a banquette in the middle of the room. This is a lively place, always filled with a lot of upscale looking customers. So the atmosphere is quite loud, but fun in a buzzing way. We were seated quickly, as we had reservations. Our server Charlie, was engaging, friendly and on top of things. We ordered the shared dips---olive tapenade, eggplant, hummus, tatziki with some warm pita triangles. They're all good and a fun way to start the dinner. We each had kebabs---lamb, chicken and mushroom. All good, moist and tender all poured with a jig of ouzo on a hot skillet. The onions in the bottom get browned and crusty, so good to eat. One had a lamb burger which looked juicy and served with delicious mound of fries sprinkled with rosemary. Food here has always been awesome. Skipped dessert as we had homemade cookies to eat at our next stop. read more

A booked reservation made for quick seating. The traditional breakfast is what I ordered and thought it would be good. It was indeed a great breakfast. The thick cut slices of bacon and the Greek fried smashed potatoes were mouth watering. Every bite of the potatoes were crunchy and perfectly crisp. The blueberry compote jelly with the sourdough bread was a great sweet ending to the savory breakfast. read more

Lola is a cute corner spot in the downtown area. I came in on an early weekday morning before a conference to grab the pancakes and maple sausage that I'd heard about so much. The service was kind and attentive - especially when they confirmed that I could get a single pancake to complement my breakfast. The pancake was the star! I recommend this place for a great breakfast! read more

Lola - one golden brown pancake - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Service was friendly and there was plenty of seating inside with mood lighting. No reservations needed as we just walked in on a weekday around 7:30 pm. The server came up to greet us and make suggestions. We tried their grape leaves rice rolls, Bean Shakshuka, and pita bread dip with olive and figs. Everything was priced quite high and did not really hit the spot for me. I wasn't a big fan of the grape leaves rice rolls. Their pita bread with fig and olive dip was recommended by the server and was told you wouldn't taste the olive but olives were the only thing you could taste..and I am not a fan of olives :( The bean Shakshuka was probably the best. It came with 2 slices of toasted bread, a warm slightly mild tomato base, cheese, and beans. Pretty good! I also don't know why there is a door directly inside the hotel that leads to this restaurant inside, but they have a signage to go around .. meaning to go outside in the COLD OR SNOW (yes it was snowing at midnight) to enter the restaurant from their front door. If I'm staying at this hotel, it would be nice to have direct access to the restaurant inside. Would come back if I'm staying at the Andra again, but would probably order their breakfast menu instead. read more

We had reservations and were seated at the time we'd booked. The restaurant was packed. Our server was very good, fast, and had good recommendations. The food is greek / Mediterranean fusion. One of our party got the restaurant week special which was more Turkish. Overall excellent house salad, good selection of wines, and piping hot but perfectly cooked kebabs, including salmon! The dip selections and freshly baked pita were awesome. The dessert on the restaurant week menu of the profiteroles was a disappointment though, more like soft churros with honey. It really was the only item that was not excellent. But we were all full on kebabs and wine, so the rest of us did not try any desserts. Definitely worth repeat visits to try all the menu. read more

A few friends and I went out to Lola on a Saturday night. We made a reservation, which probably wasn't strictly needed with our arrival around 6 PM, but the restaurant was pretty full by the time we left. The overall vibe of the restaurant is great - very New York with just one long sitting area with the kitchen at the back basically. Our booth had a nice view of Virginia street. The food was good - the scallops and saganaki particularly stood out. My only complaint was the prices. We opted for skewers, but were quickly told that a side would be needed in order to feel full. While the Greek spaghetti was good, it was pretty basic for a $17 price tag, combined with a $21 cheese and fig fig skewer that only had a 6 or so pieces each of fig and cheese. Beer is also a little expensive for the area at $9 a pint. Overall nice and near a major bus arterial, but would likely only come back with out of town guests if showing them around downtown Seattle and we needed a fancy and conveniently located restaurant. read more

Lola - Saganaki & Pan seared sea scallops - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Good breakfast and brunch pass through, perfect for corporate stays nearby swinging over from hotels. Nice mixes and overall portions for singular or very shareable time in the space. A simple diner by feel, but the taste steps above any basic diner recipes and does well at what it aims for. Overall a worthwhile brunch for a small group. The space is small enough that I would generally want to avoid it when very crowded. read more

Lola - Pear French Toast Shakshuka - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Went here for Valentine's Day dinner and it was quite lovely! The wine was excellent--we got the Orcas Project Sangiovese and the Sellas Agiorgitiko. For dinner, we had one of the Valentine's Day specials, Imam Byaldi, which was a very tasty eggplant dish. We also got spanakopita, which I was delighted to find out was vegan. It was pretty good, especially for a vegan version. The star of the show was truly the dessert. We got the doughnuts and the hazelnut malted milk cremeaux. Both of them were incredible! It was busy for the holiday but service was still excellent. I dropped my napkin and one of the employees who was bussing tables went above and beyond to pick it up and get me a new one before I even noticed I dropped it! My only complaint is that the plates, table, and glassware all needed to be scrubbed a little more. Overall great experience and good food! I'd like to come back and try brunch sometime. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for so long and it took a really long time to actually get a reservation. You have to book in advance for brunch definitely. My friends and I ordered the Greek scramble, Octopus Hash, Kebab plate, and donuts to share. The Greek scramble was 10 out of 10. The eggs were delicious and the toast was perfectly cooked. I love how buttery it was too. We also got the potatoes on the side for both of our options and I would definitely recommend that - they're very crispy and flavorful. My friends also liked the other two options. I didn't get to try them because they were meat. The donuts were also good but they're just typical donuts. I would probably recommend going somewhere else for dessert across the street. There is a bakery with great cookies and dessert options. Inside is very nice they kept the shades down which made the place very dark. I wish they would let the light in but still it's a very cozy feeling. read more

This was a great breakfast experience overall. The service was high quality -- attentive, warm, and well-paced -- which made the whole meal feel relaxed and enjoyable. The food itself was excellent, with well-balanced flavors and clearly fresh ingredients. The Eggs Benedict was a highlight. The poached eggs were done perfectly -- the yolks were just right, and the whites were well set without being overcooked or watery. It's a small detail, but it really reflects strong kitchen technique and attention to execution. A simple way to tell if poached eggs are done well: when you cut into them, the yolk should flow smoothly without being too runny or too firm, while the egg whites should be fully set and hold their shape (not wispy or diluted in the water). A clean, compact shape with minimal loose whites is usually a sign of good technique. Given the location, the pricing felt reasonable and fair for the quality you're getting. The only item that stood out as slightly overpriced was the regular brewed coffee. At around $5 per person, it felt a bit steep considering the taste was just average. I'm also not sure whether refills are included or would be charged again, which makes it harder to justify the value. Compared to that, even a standard Starbucks drip coffee would feel like a better value for money. Overall, I'd still highly recommend this place for breakfast -- great food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. Just maybe skip the coffee or manage expectations on that part. read more

Delicious food, fabulous staff, and cozy decor! I've been to Lola about three times in as many years, and every time I wonder why I don't go more often! My husband and I shared the doughnuts, I had the gravlax, and he had the Lola breakfast. The doughnuts are fluffy and warm, the gravlax was generously portioned, and the fried potatoes and breakfast sausage are truly unique to Lola in the most delicious way. Their espresso was not good though- it somehow both lacked flavor and was too bitter? I could not get myself to drink that ounce-and-a-half of espresso, even with a sugar cube. And I am not a coffee connoisseur. Even for Seattle standards, it was a pricey meal. The three dishes and an espresso came out to almost $75. I would certainly go back and recommend it to others from out of town, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to go back. read more

We were staying not too far from here and asked for a fun place for breakfast. Everyone recommended Lola. That was a smart move. Very comforting atmosphere here. We were brought to our seat immediately and our server came right over to bring water and menus. Both myself and my wife seem to order the same thing all the time. I am two over easy with link sausages and she is two very well (kill them) with well done bacon. They did a nice job here that everything was extremely tasty and FRESH. Nice clean tasty eggs and sausage and bacon that defiantly did not come out of the freezer. It's funny how you can taste freshness. Their breads are clearly of a homemade style and they have their own homemade jams. I am sure we'll be back in the Seattle area and Lola will definitely be a breakfast or lunch spot for us. read more

Trendy Mediterranean spot with a stylish vibe, but the service fell short. Our server wasn't very attentive, and the host or manager eventually brought our check since our server was nowhere to be found. We started with the smoked eggplant dip -- portion was quite small, and the flavor leaned a bit too tangy for my taste. The pita, however, was excellent: warm, soft, and fluffy. For mains, I had the chicken kebab plate (wish they offered a beef option), while my partner had the pork kebab. The chicken was tender but one piece was slightly pink. The pork had a light flavor and could've used a bit more seasoning. The standout was the Greek salad -- fresh ingredients and a lovely vinaigrette that tied everything together. read more

We really enjoyed Lola's. The service was great. We made reservations so we were seated right away. Brunch started with the warm donuts and they were perfection. The pancakes were the best buttermilk I have had. Spot on. My son liked the French toast but didn't love the sauce. He felt it had too much citrus and was a tad crusty on the top. It was good and the fresh fruit was perfect. The side of eggs were just that, nothing special. The atmosphere was loud but joyful. There were many groups there. We would recommend Lola and plan to go back again. read more

Came here in a group of ten and had a great time! Beautiful restaurant on a corner in Seattle! Half of us shared the dip spread with pita and we loved it! The tzatziki and the blue cheese - feta kopanisti were favorites. We had to order two extra sides of pita ($6 each) to finish all of the dip. Would recommend! We also tried the lamb, sockeye, chicken, and pork kebabs. I loved the sauce on the chicken and the sockeye was yummy! I didn't get to try the lamb or pork but everyone said the sauces were pretty sweet, and they were good! The rosemary fries were also pretty good as well. For drinks, we had the hugo's boss, vinho verde, west of Eden, espresso martini, no vacancy, and limoncello spritz! They were all yummy but the vinho verde and espresso martini stuck out to us! The limoncello was a but sweeter than expected and the hugo's boss was a touch too cucumbery but they were still finished. Our server was not very attentive, she never asked if we were enjoying our food and wasn't super warm but we did have a large party and the restaurant was loud so it didn't really take away from the dinner. Overall I would definitely come back and recommend it. It's pretty spendy but great if you are not worried about money or are looking for a spot for a special occasion! I wanted to add that they do not do birthday treats! (At least that's what our server told us) read more

We came in for brunch on Independence Day, and they got us seated shortly after we arrived a few minutes past our reservation. We ordered 4 things: Octopus Hash, House Made Gravlax, Smashed Garlic Potatoes, and Made to Order Doughnuts. My partner and I agreed that the best dish was the gravlax. Essentially a deconstructed lox bagel (instead of bagel it's rye toast), the fish was sooooo good. The cream cheese is chive, and it added an extra touch to the dish. Seattle salmon never disappoints! The octopus hash was good, but my partner said it was a bit one dimensional. Some pieces of the octopus were a bit rubbery, but overall a solid dish. The potatoes were very crispy and you could definitely taste the garlic. A very solid side dish! The server shook the doughnuts in a bag with cinnamon sugar table side, and I really liked the combo of the jam and cream together with the doughnuts. They were pillowy soft, and not oily at all. read more

We were in Seattle for a conference and my wife was looking for a good breakfast one morning. She found Lola After hearing about it, I said if you're up for it, I wanna go myself! She was. Our first go around I had the shashuka which was absolutely amazing! Looked up recipes online so I could understand the ingredients and I will be making this at home for a family breakfast, it was that good! The bread is phenomenal, the toast and the OJ were out of this world !! I love the sausages, they reminded me of a combination between an English banger with maple flavor inside of it. Unbelievably unique and a flavor I've never had before! The ambience was very nice, weight staff was great, coffee was amazing. I found myself telling tons of people about it and if I make it back to Seattle, this is my first stop for breakfast! read more

Sadly, I had forgotten that I've tried Lola before! It's a great restaurant with a warm vibe. It is really busy, but the service is attentive. The server disappeared a couple times but that gave our group ample time to soak up the energy of the place and catch up with each other, and this was only after times where they had already tried to take our order promptly. I tried some Kabobs and the beet salad. Everything was good, though I expected the Kabobs to be a bit more flavorful. What really caught my attention, though, were a couple dishes other people ordered! The seafood tangine and the shakshuka looked incredible! I want to come back and try both. I liked the mocktail option that I chose, and because it came in a can, i was able to tell that it happened to be low in calories too. Their cocktail menu looked nice, and maybe next time I'll imbibe. The prices, while slightly high, were more reasonable than I expected. A great place for dates, groups, or even catching up with a buddy at the bar. I'm excited to come back and try more of the menu! read more

The K-pop trio had breakfast at this very popular place at the corner of 4th Avenue and Virginia Street in the Hotel Andra Seattle. We were seated in a booth in the middle of the room. I started with a Bloody Mary (called a Lola Mary, $18), another had a Ginger Mint Spritzer ($9). We ordered the Lola breakfast ($25), comprised of two eggs, smashed garlic fried potatoes, maple pork sausage, and toast, the Greek Scramble ($23), consisting of scrambled eggs, roasted asparagus, red peppers, and Kasseri cheese with the garlic smashed potatoes and toast, and Eggs Benedict ($27) with garlic smashed potatoes. This was mine and there was so much sliced ham piled onto the English muffin that it was too much for me. I ended up removing much of the ham as it overpowered the delicate lemon Hollandaise sauce. Afterward, I realized I didn't get a cup of coffee. Whoa, my brain wasn't working in Seattle. This is a very popular place and there was a line of people waiting to dine when we departed. We went at just the right time (8:45am). Upon returning to Honolulu, I found the bill to be incorrect but, in our favor, (by $4). read more

Great Mediterranean food (though slightly overpriced) in a bustling location. The salmon kebabs were tender and paired well with the tzatziki. The Mediterranean salad is AMAZING--bright, fresh, and zesty. The pita is whole grain, I believe? Very good. The eggplant babaganoush is alright; given the price and flavor, I wouldn't get it again. The coffee is typical diner quality but priced like it's from a boujee café. Service is friendly, and the interior is quite busy. Parking is limited. Overall, a solid spot if you want to change up your usual brunch rotation. Just make sure to get a reservation beforehand. it gets absolutely packed on weekends. read more

Absolutely love this place. The environment is super cute. We originally had reservations for 930am but we got there an hour early and the hostess was willing to seat us. So nice! Tony was our waiter. And he was fabulous. I loved his energy. He had some awesome sheep earrings on and we started chatting about all the fun stuff there is to do in Seattle. It was super kind of him to give me recommendations since I'm just visiting. The food was wonderful. My friend ordered their octopus plate - I had a bite and it was very well seasoned. SOOOO GOOD. I got the Lola plate because I'm a traditional girl. But tony suggested half bacon and half pork when I couldn't decide between the two. And let me tell you - that is the way to go!!! The pork was sweet and salty and actually reminded me of some old traditional Vietnamese dishes that my mom used to make. It was nice to have that memory come back. My friend got the coffee and commented on how he loved that he had his own coffee pitcher. Overall - it was wonderful. We ended up chatting for 3 hours and no one threw us out. It had been about 2 years since we met up. So it was really nice visit in a wonderful environment! Will definitely come back!! read more

The perfect date night spot. It's definitely a bit pricy, so it's a Fancy Date Night kind of spot, but the food was delicious, the cocktails were thoughtful and well crafted, and the service was impeccable. We started with the friend squid which was very good, and had a light batter on it with chili flakes. It came out second, after our kebab plate though, which was interesting. The kebabs were seriously delicious but they alone cost over $60 for 3 different kebabs. I don't know if I would really order that again, which is a shame because the date and paneer kebab was heaven. We ended up getting mains as well... The bean shakshuka and halibut. Both were very good and truly unique. The wine list is also worth mentioning as they had a number of Greek wines available by the glass. It was a $200 dinner for two. Would I go again? Heck yeah. Would I order differently? Potentially. read more

I LOVE this place. The food is fresh, seasonal, and we'll thought out. The Mediterranean style food always please from the kabobs to the hand crafted dips and pita. They even provided crudite for gluten free goers. We brought a special wine to enjoy before a show at the Moore theater. The corkage fee is $25, which is reasonable. The prices for what you get in quality and quantity are fair. We had exceptional service and the view to kitchen was fantastic. The restaurant has a bistro vibe and feels very cozy with coat hooks on each booth. I will be coming back again for brunch and dinner when I am in Seattle. read more

After our Alaskan cruise last fall, we spent a day roaming around Seattle before heading home. We asked our uber driver about good eats & he highly recommended Lola - a modern, Greek-influenced restaurant featuring local ingredients. We decided to treat ourselves & we were very happy that we did. Hubby started with a dirty vodka martini with feta stuffed olives - a switch from his usual blue cheese stuffed olives & a nod to the Greek cuisine of the restaurant. I opted for the Stranger Than Fig-tion - bourbon, averna amaro, fig syrup, orange bitters. A well balanced strong cocktail that was perfect for sipping. Spreads are highlighted on the Lola dinner menu: there are six delicious options. If we were with a larger group, I would have ordered the entire selection. Since it was just the two of us & we couldn't really schlep leftovers to our hotel, we ordered the cauliflower-anchovy spread with freshly griddled pita. Fresh & savory with a bit of crunch from the pita. We shared a multi-colored beet salad over arugula dotted with fresh mozzarella & topped with a sprinkle of dill. It was both beautiful to look at & delicious. We both loved this salad! I wanted to try one of their kebob options - left to my own devices, I would have selected the lamb but our server highly recommended the Bristol Bay sockeye salmon, locally caught. Three skewers of this succulent fish were served on a sizzling skillet with onions & ouzo with an herb-caper relish. Everything about this dish was perfection! I could taste the ouzo, the salmon was cooked perfectly & the relish added a fresh savory note. Hubby went with the fish special: sea bass over a bed of stewed black beans & topped with a fennel, parsley & olives salad & a drizzle of good Greek olive oil. Only one word could describe this dish: decadent. The fish was meaty with a hint of sweetness which paired well with the earthiness of the beans. The salad topper added an unexpected freshness. We were too full for dessert but we ogled the order of made-to-order doughnuts with Dahlia Bakery jam & vanilla mascarpone. A beautiful presentation & smelled delicious. Truly a fabulous dinner. Lola also served breakfast/brunch. Highly recommend making a reservation because it is busy pretty much all day & all night. Lola is definitely a dining destination in Seattle! read more

It's absolutely all it's cracked up to be, with a few caveats. Flavors were perfection on the beet salad, half chicken, and roasted delicata squash (which had this delish Parmesan sauce) .

Got the lamb kebab plate which came with three skewers, tzatziki, pita and a choice of Greek salad and/or garlic smashed potatoes (we got both). Every single part of the plate was so good!

The atmosphere was lively as we came during Sunday brunch and the service was great. Our server was attentive, checked in periodically and got us extra tzatziki!

Lola - Lamb plate - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Delicious brunch in a beautiful space in Downtown Seattle. We had a spread including some lamb skewers, the Greek scramble, their signature donuts, and a few sides. Everything here is remarkably fresh, flavorful, and healthy feeling. Don't miss the hummus and other dips, they're definitely worth ordering at least one as a side! A couple things holding it back from a a full five stars: it feels unlikely that the "made-to-order" donuts are as described. They're recently made for sure, but anyone who's tried the donuts at Pike Place knows these aren't fresh out of the fryer. The vanilla spread that comes with them though, is 10/10. In a similar vain, temperature control is a bit of an issue with skewers. They arrived lukewarm at best, which was unfortunate for the last (still tasty) bites. Overall 4.5/5! read more

I made a reservation for brunch at Lola and arrived on time for my reservation. However, the table wasn't ready. The host told me that they were still waiting for the party who had my table before me to finish up and leave and I'd need to wait. I get it. Sometimes people linger longer than expected. But there was availability at the bar, so I opted to sit there instead of waiting. The espresso martini is on nitro. The flavor was really intense. For brunch I ordered French Toast. It came out within 5 minutes, which seemed very fast, especially since others at the bar ordered before me and waited at least 15 minutes more than I did to get their meals. I'm still not sure how I got my meal so quickly, but I guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. A side of bacon is $10, which seems too pricey; however, it is 5 slices of bacon. I kind of wish they did 2 or 3 slices for half that price, because that's really all I wanted (and needed). The bacon is thick cut, but not as crispy and I'd prefer. Overall, great option for brunch, just be prepared to wait and bring a friend or two to share sides with. read more

Swung by Lola for their special restaurant week lamb offerings - some seemed to be limited items and others were discounted about 7 bucks from the regular price. Overall, I'd say everything was delicious and perfectly cooked, but we warned, this place is EXPENSIVE. I would be prepared to easily drop 50 bucks per person. For two people, we ordered spread with pita, two plates, and fries and were still hungry after dusting the items. They were quite busy even on a Wednesday, but it also seemed like there was a conference in town. Smoky Eggplant Spread (2.75/5): Pita was really not my favorite, extremely average. The eggplant spread was decent, but not standout. Can't help but compare this to Homer's spreads, which unfortunately blow this out of the water. Braised Lamb Shank Tagine (4/5): Lamb shank was cooked perfectly, super tender and fall off the bone. Unfortunately, the cous cous was sitting in a sauce with kinda an odd flavor that I couldn't place and wasn't my favorite. Lamb Flatbread (4.25/5): I actually though this was delicious, but be warned, for 20 bucks the portion size is pretty small. The pine nuts are a super nice touch Rosemary Fries (4/5): Really enjoyed the two dipping sauces they provided, they had a super fun, bright play on harissa ketchup and their aioli had a strong freshness that really cut through. Fries themselves were right on the cusp of being a bit burnt, but soggy fries are the bane of my existence so I didn't mind too much. Triple Coconut Cream Pie (4.5/5): I thought they absolutely smashed this and while it's pricey, I would probably try to share this. Super luscious cream with fresh coconut and super flaky, buttery crust - this is a must try. Made to Order Donuts (4.25/5): Fresh donuts with mascarpone and berries, what's not to love? Not the best I've ever had, but very satisfying and read more

My best friend and I decided to take a quick girls' trip to Seattle. Being in charge of finding a brunch spot, Yelp led me to choose Lola! I made reservations for a Sunday brunch and it was the best way to start our day. We checked in and were seated inside. The restaurant is loud, dim, and bustling. The layout is somewhat narrow and reminded us of Cheesecake Factory lol. Service by all who helped us was friendly and speedy! Food came out fast and water bottles were refilled. A great spot for casual dining! My best friend and I shared the Octopus Hash, Bristol Bay Sockeye Salmon Kebabs, and Made to Order Doughnuts. The seafood scene in Seattle is superb, I love octopus and have never seen such a thing offered. The octopus was tender and came with served so pieces. The hash had a nice variety of savory deliciousness. Wish there was more egg or a bigger egg though! The salmon kebab was delightful--the salmon was well-cooked and moist. The sauce that came with it was tasty and everything was well seasoned. We also requested half salad and half potatoes. We were overjoyed with ending our meal with the donuts. Truly, warm pillowy doughs of goodness. The jam and mascarpone were out of this world! We'll be dreaming of this. If you like the Mediterranean and are living or visiting Seattle, Lola is a must-try! We'd both come back in a heartbeat and order the same thing. The cafe is conveniently located on 4th Ave. in Belltown, close to lots of places, and easy walking distance! read more
