    We had heard great things about Lola's, so we met up for a family dinner here. We were smart to make a reservation, because it's a smaller spot that likely won't have a table free if you just walk in. The food was so good!! Felt like home cooking in the best way. Quality, fresh ingredients, and a solid menu with both American and Italian dishes. Everyone who worked there was kind and welcoming. We loved it and will definitely go back for another family dinner!

    Ahi tuna

    We have been coming to Lola's for years and absolutely love it. It is a family run restaurant with delicious food. BYOB which is a nice perk. They also have a back room that is perfect for private parties. We went for a Mothers Day lunch this year and everything was so great - food, service, and the full experience!

    Chicken piccata
    Susan S.

    I really had high hopes. Rest is in a dumpy industrial plaza. It just had to be a hidden gem. Meh, bland from the interior, to the waitstaff lackluster personalities to the food. Upon entering the place smells like musty basement carpet. And vaguely a cat scent permeates the area. Byob. I didnt see any soda on tables so there may be no option for carbonated soft drinks either. Water carafe brought to table had white flexs swirling around in it. Food was bland and wouldn't go back. Even the table house-made bread lacked a sourdough starter. Chicken piccata was loaded w capers and it shockingly extra lemony. Pork may have been boiled and marsala sauce ironically also tasted like lemon was infused into the sauté sauce. Not good. French onion soup was old because u can clearly see the onions have been sitting in broth in their walkin for far to long.

    Sesame Crusted Tuna.
    Lee L.

    Happy Anniversary Lola's! This is my go to restaurant. The food is always amazing. My favorite is the sesame crusted tuna. It's perfect every time. The servers are experienced with the main dining and there is a great spot for larger parties. I had an engagement party here and a luncheon after a funeral and they accommodated our group without knowing "exactly" how many guests would attend. BYOB is a bonus.

    Fettuccine Alfredo-very creamy!

    Great BYOB with a small corkage fee. Chef selected entrees, and great preparation. The menu is small which is not a bad thing, an additional special menu for inside dining is available as well as take away. The dining room is small and basic, however service stands out. Good food with Good sized portions!!!

    Gnocchi with meatballs
    Dawn P.

    We had heard this restaurant was BYOB, which is always a plus. So we made a reservation to go check it out. When we showed up they somehow had lost the reservation, but were very accommodating and got us a table anyway. Food was delicious, the portions were large.the staff was very friendly. We cannot wait to go back and try it again. There are so many good choices on the menu. I highly recommend the fried green beans as an appetizer.

They were able to seat us quickly on a Sunday at noon without a reservation luckily. Extensive drink menu including mocktails. Lots of food options for everyone. Service was friendly and quick.

It was almost $40 for my mocktail and avocado toast.

Everyone in our group was between 26 and 27 years old. The other group was already seated at the bar and had been served. The bartender asked to see our IDs, which was no problem. We gave them to her, she checked them, and returned them. We ordered drinks and waited. A few minutes later, she came back and said the manager wanted to see our IDs as well. The manager spent nearly 10 minutes examining them at the bar before taking them to a back room without warning, leaving us unable to see them for another 10 minutes or so. When she returned, she claimed that our IDs were fake and handed them back. The whole situation was embarrassing and, frankly, ridiculous. Being accused of being underage and trying to sneak into a bar or restaurant when everyone in our group was 26 or 27 was extremely uncomfortable and humiliating. We felt like we were being treated as though we had done something wrong, and the manager was rude and dismissive throughout the interaction. If there was a concern about our IDs, it could have been handled much more discreetly and respectfully. We've been to this restaurant before, but after this experience, our group will not be returning

We have snow that night which makes the experience even greater. You have to call to make reservation for the igloo in advance and pay $150 deposit. This will be applied to your meal, so technically you don't have to pay extra for the igloo like the ones in the city if you order enough. The service was good too. We don't have to leave the igloo at all to ask for service. However the food wasn't that great. The Caesar salad (including the wrap) was so salty! The beef on the sandwich was so dry. The burger and the mac and cheese were okay. So if next year the menu is the same, we probably won't return.

The brunch theme is Mardi Gras, and let me tell you, I felt like I was back in New Orleans! From flavor profile of all the food to the soft music in the background. My boyfriend and I were served fresh breads shortly after sitting down. They were so fresh and delish! For my wine I had the house rose, which was divine! My boyfriend had the sauvignon blanc, which he enjoyed as well! He did say he liked my rose a little bit better. For our appetizer we shared the Char Grilled Oysters. These were phenomenal! I'm still thinking about them now as I write this review! I wish there was more than 5. My boyfriend was nice and let me have the extra one! For our entrees, we each had a different Benedict. I had the Andouille one and my boyfriend went with the crab cake Benedict. Both were packed with flavor! The potatoes that came with them were also packed with flavors! We ordered additional drinks; ultimate Bloody Mary and Hurricane. Sip sip hooray! So good! For dessert I had the cheese cake parfait and my boyfriend had the cinnamon bread pudding. Desserts are made on sight at the bakery and both of these desserts were great! Even the whipped cream was fresh. Everything was amazing from start to finish! Our server, whose name I don't remember was such a sweet heart! We will absolutely return! 5+ stars all the way!

Honestly, after reading the reviews, I wasn't too confident I would even be able to eke on in for dinner, but my God was I able to get in, and thank the LORD I was able to find a parking spot with such a full lot of cars! What started as a solo trip to J Timothy's became a welcome table event when fellow Yelper Angie showed up with her husband and invited me over to their table. I'm SO glad we were able to have that happen! It became one of the best post-event dinners I've had yet. It did take a bit of time to decide between the three of us, but we eventually split our checks, with me taking care of my order and Angie taking care of the rest. We had Kate as a waitress, and might I say, she was not only nice and efficient, but she was very knowledgeable of the menu and very helpful and accommodating. I immediately requested a take-out box and she delivered just like that. She was even knowledgeable on what foods and such were made in-house and what wasn't, which is honestly very impressive! Also note, we all got to have a taste of everything that came in tonight, so we got lots of food to get to! We did have the wings for our appetizers. I did the 10-wing Dirt Style Honey BBQ Gold for mine, and they got I wanna say 20(?) Buffalo wings. They were cooked to perfection, and I was able to twist the bones off the flats. Both flavors were good, but even though it could possibly be my bias talking, I did prefer my flavor of wings. I will say the Buffalo had that signature spice level there, but it didn't overpower the wing, which is awesome! Oh, and there were also the potato skins which was rated perfectly, and that tasted really good as well. For the entrees, this is why I immediately requested the box. My order was the full rack of ribs. Angie got the chicken pot pie. Usually, I don't eat pot pies, but the one Angie ordered was honestly very good. Flaky, buttery crust top, and savory filling or chicken, potatoes, peas, etc. As for my ribs, whenever I tried to cut them, all the meat kept falling off the bone! That's how you know it was cooked properly! And dear God were these ribs were delicious, succulent, and delicious! Did I mention they were delicious? The BBQ sauce was a symphony of bliss that helped make each bite of rib taste like I went to Cloud Nine! The coleslaw it came with was good, but it's not something I would say can compete with the South. But good all the same. Drinks were great too. I got the Dragon Fruit Martini(?), and that was sweet and relaxing to have after a long summer and a long drive to Plainville. Oh, and we also got dessert! Again we picked different things: Angie ordered the "Not Fried Chicken" while I went with the Key Lime Pie. Wherever these guys get their key lime pie from, keep them coming and let me know so I can get some more myself! The raspberry sauce was a great choice for accompaniment and complimented the pie nicely. And the slice was divine! The Not Fried Chicken is a very innovative idea, and it tasted good as well. I can see now why this place gets so much love. It's insane how good this place is in just about every aspect! The sink did take a bit to learn, but that was about my only criticism, other than that this place easily gets 5 stars from me, and I am so glad to have had this dinner with Angie and meet her husband. #KeepYelping

    A friend of mine took me here for lunch after church during a recent visit to CT. The interior was…read morerustic, comfortable, and spacious with 2 levels. We chose booth seating on the 2nd floor, which was cozy, and boasted a cool view of the downstairs area. For my beverage, I chose the Cherry mocktail, which was oh so fizzy, refreshing, and a nice mix of sweet and tart. We shared the Chili Dirt Wings and Fried Calamari. The Wings were fried twice and generously sauced. They were satisfyingly crispy and full of bold flavor with a bit of a kick. The Fried Calamari was light and crunchy. I had a tough time selecting my entree, but finally went with Taverne Grilled Meatloaf. This dish consisted of beef and pork meatloaf, loaded mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables. The Meatloaf was cooked perfectly on the char-broiler, giving it a slightly smoky taste and bit of caramelization, then smothered in a tomato glaze. Meatloaf was delightfully tender and well seasoned. Loaded Mashed Potatoes was mouthwatering, covered in melty cheese, bacon, and scallions. Veggies included carrots, zucchini, squash and had a great consistency, adding a fresh element to the dish. For dessert, I had to get one of my favorites: Sticky Toffee Pudding. Their version was a moist, dense sponge Bundt cake with caramel sauce. It was decent, but overly sticky sweet even for me. Service was solid. Our waitress was welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. Everything came out in a timely manner. If I return, I would want to try the Shepherd's Pie, Boneless Braised Short Ribs, or Pierogies and Kielbasa.
