    Small quaint cute restaurant, everything was delicious, fresh made pasta for the ragu, oysters are always a good option, save room for dessert cause the homemade ice cream was so good! Staff is polite and pleasant!

    My husband and I came here for our fifth wedding anniversary recently. We drove from about an hour away and had never been to Bremerton before. Restaurant Lola is located in an unassuming strip mall and from the outside doesn't look like much. Inside is absolutely beautiful albeit a more intimate experience- definitely recommend a reservation which are easy to book online. Service was phenomenal. I like the separate waiting area as well- good use of an odd space divide. The food- particularly the main pasta dishes were fantastic, though the sage butter sauce with my gnocchi was just a tad too salty. The pasta was fresh and the perfect consistency and the bolognese was incredible. I also enjoyed the chocolate coconut cake (great for coconut lovers). My husband enjoyed the onion dip. Overall I would definitely recommend/ would drive back. Love supporting local Black owned businesses like Restaurant Lola. Also appreciated the pared down menu and attention to quality local ingredients.

    Oysters.  Sorry took the picture after we ate them! Very chilled, garlic/wine sauce to top them off.

    This was a great little restaurant. Will definitely come back. We are super picky and the small menu covered any choices you may want. We started with oysters ( even though we live on a beach with tons of them) excellent, salads, excellent, meals were also very good. All local foods, excellently prepared. Service was excellent.

    Thanks to Chef Jan Parker (IG:@janparkercookery) from Tacoma for putting Restaurant Lola on my radar screen back on 1/6/24. I decided to take my mom out to lunch to celebrate her upcoming's 88th birthday at Chef John Hall's spot, Restaurant Lola (2/3/24) in Bremerton. Seems fitting since it's in proximity of the former Harrison Memorial Hospital where she retired from many decades of service as an RN. Also Lola is the equivalent of grandmother in Tagalog. I grew up in Bremerton until I moved across the sound to attend UW Seattle in the early 1980s. Over the decades, I am happy to see the growth and improvements in Bremerton. This is a Kitsap County city with rich history and glad it did not decay or fall fully into gentrification. I clearly missed the boat to learn about Chef John Hall's arrival to the Kitsap/Olympic Peninsulas back in 2021 with his various pop ups and kitchen takeovers, and his last stint at Finistere in Port Townsend. Plus with his culinary background that included working at Per Se, Gramercy Tavern, and Momofuku Ssam Bar, I knew this was noteworthy. The last time I noted another chef making the move to Bremerton was Matt Tinder from San Francisco to open Saboteur Bakery back in 2016. More on these connections later. Restaurant Lola opened on 10/31/23 (see attached Kitsap Sun article under Tips) in a strip mall area that thankfully has not been abandoned, but has full occupancy. Once you step inside, it's a beautiful intimate restaurant spot with a 4 seat bar counter, trio of 2 tops, a 4 top, and a larger table by the front window. Love the interior and natural light. There's both lunch (11am - 2pm) and dinner (4 - 10pm) on Thursdays through Sunday, closed Mondays - Wednesdays. The menu is very inviting - seasonal and with room to check out the chef's repertoire. Welcoming, upbeat, and informative wait staff too. If my college aged son was able to join us for lunch, we probably could have covered more of their menu. But what we selected was high caliber and definitely exceeded my baseline of dazzling flavors. We shared the Carrot Ginger Scallion soup ($15) and added an ample serving of baguette, served warm with a butter pat ($1.50). The soup was nicely presented, velvety and full of bright flavors from the key ingredients. The baguette was from Saboteur Bakery, also located in Bremerton on E 11th. Mom selected the Pan Roasted Harvest Chicken ($27). This was perfected roasted and juicy, again nicely presented atop beans, brussel sprouts, pickled garlic, and chicken jus. It was nice to see her thoroughly enjoy her meal. I tasted a bit of the chicken jus, wow! Had we known, should have ordered another baguette serving to fully sop up the flavor packed jus. I had the Short Rib Ragù Pappardelle ($27). I enjoyed the tender, flavorful ragù evenly served with toothsome papardelle. Perfect, satisfying pasta entree. I enjoy the tie ins with this restaurant gem. Chef Parker in Tacoma gave a big IG shout out to Chef Hall's Restaurant Lola. Chef Hall uses Chef Tinder's baguette from Saboteur Bakery. The complex, full on flavors and presentation from the soup and two entrees experienced definitely grabbed my attention and spoke of Chef Hall's vast culinary experience. Having his own place enables him to have a blank canvas to create these wonderful meals. Bremerton and Kitsap County has a worthy culinary destination worth the drive around or a ferry ride across the sound! I've had quite the culinary month and a half of firsts with Shibuya HiFi, Alder & Ash, Ginger & Scallion, Lioness, Sophon, and now Restaurant Lola. Love local indie spots that bring it full on with family and community at the forefront. Having amazing flavors and spot-on service absolutely seals the deal! A sincere thank you for creating a spontaneous, memorable 88th birthday celebration a day early for my mom! Lunch, dinner, desserts, cocktails, special events...follow updates via their website and IG:@restaurant_lola. Highly recommended!

    My husband took me to Restaurant Lola for our anniversary and wow! I was so surprised to be at a fine dining restaurant just two minutes from our home in Bremerton! The space is small but cute and the food was delicious. We got the stone fruit appetizer- which blew our minds. So flavorful! I had the trumpet mushroom dish and my husband ordered the salmon. Both were things we don't usually order but we have no regrets. For dessert we shared the carrot cake and this was definitely my favorite part. Absolutely the best carrot cake and ice cream of my life. The wait staff were all incredible, our water cups remained full. I had the drink that had banana in it which was so tasty plus they gifted us with bubbles for our anniversary which was so sweet! Will definitely be watching the menu each week to come back and try more!

    Oyster Rockefeller
    Tina G.

    An unexpected gem in East Bremerton! It's a very small restaurant in an unassuming plaza, but wow is the food delicious! The highlights were the dirty martini, the oyster Rockefeller, and the steak, but honestly everything was delicious. The service was great and it was very intimate. It was quite pricey, especially for Bremerton, but I can appreciate that they are a very small operation and everything is locally sourced. I think this will be our new "special occasion" restaurant!

    Very very rare ribeye

    Asked if I had a reservation when I walked in new town didn't know that I needed one. They were able to set me at one of their counter bar seat seats.. order a salad, ribeye steak and au gratin potatoes. Everything was very good and tasty. People were very nice my steak they suggested to be medium rare normally I order medium, but I only eat a couple pieces because it's very very rare. 100$ plus meal

    This is my new favorite neighborhood restaurant. We have been there almost every other week and even twice a week... I'm seriously addicted. ---updated review--- The service is slower than most of the surrounding places. So expect to be there for over an hour. But it is worth the wait. The food is really well cooked and flavored. The salads are really fresh and flavorful. Haven't had one that wasn't perfect! The Oysters are really fresh and good. Catfish Nuggets - Love them! Pastas are good - except one time the Gnocchi was a bit burned but they were busy. The Bavette Steak - cant go wrong with this! Carrot Cake is shareable. They also now have Lola after dark - where they have 30% off cocktails, wine, salads and pastas from 8pm to close. ---- initial review ---- I have been wanting to try Restaurant Lola since it opened last year but we have been out of town for the past 6 months. So the first thing I did was make reservation when we got home. Service: Our server was new but the bartender was really knowledgable. The service is a bit slower. But it sounds like the owner is also the only chef and I promise you it is worth the wait! We shared the smoked fish dip and chips, Duck Breast, and the special rib eye! The chef even came out and showed us the ribeye before he started. smoked fish dip was ok and the chips could have been better. But everything else was great!

    "Smash Burger" Even though the party was a good 3/4 inch thick
    Katarina W.

    I've been hearing a lot about this place and how amazing it is so some friends and I went for the 4/20 late night menu. The aesthetic was so cute and cozy inside. They had mocktails which is always great for the non drinkers, and it tasted delicious. Some of us ordered the "Smash Burgers", Mac and cheese, ribs, carrot cake, banana pudding, chips and onion dip, and oysters. I'm going to be honest, I wanted to love this place but it was a let down. The Smash Burgers party was about 3/4 inch thick, which really negates the whole "Smash" burger name. And the outside was SO heavily charred that it was definitely more burnt. There was a huge inconsistency with the cook on all of them as well. One was completely grey and hard, the other was perfectly mid in the middle and another was somewhere in-between. However all of them were way too burnt on the outside. They were also way too salty. And the mustard sauce was delicious, the bun was good too, but the cheese tasted like American Cheese and it definitely didn't feel like the burger we were expecting from this type of place or for the price either. Also wish that it came with fries. The Banana pudding was okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing. It didn't stand out in any way. And the presentation felt like a backyard BBQ. The carrot cake was pretty dry and flavorless, but the cream cheese ice cream cake was good. The onion dip was everyone's favorite part, which while that is good, is a bit disappointing that the favorite dish of them all is a dip. Overall, I guess we had too high of hopes for this place. I wouldn't be opposed to giving it another shot but for the price it definitely didn't feel like the high end fresh ingredients we were promised. The service albeit slow was lovely, the servers and everyone we dealt with were super amazing and friendly. But the food just didn't hold up to the talk/price.

And to me, the price is too high for the food to just be "fine." The mocktails are always delicious, and one time they made me a Pimm's cup. I've also sipped a few of my family's cocktails and they're quite good. The best thing I had was a vegan sloppy Joe with chickpeas a few years ago. The vegan Caesar salad is good. They seem to have a housemade veggie burger on the menu year round, but it's on a brioche bun so if you want to get it vegan it just comes without a bun... I had it once with the bun and even then I found it pretty dry and underwhelming, especially for the price. ($18 with a pickle and a handful of their thick fries [the fries are tasty and vegan]). We went yesterday and I got a squash appetizer without the crème fresh, and half the squash was undercooked (like so hard I couldn't put a fork through it). I told the server and they comped the dish, but even the part that was edible wasn't that great, so I didn't really want a replacement. My sister likes the steak, she's had it twice and the steak is cooked well, the sauce is good, but the carrots have been undercooked both times. She agrees that the drinks are better than the food. She also says the desserts are good. My mom thought the crab cakes were delicious, her Brussels sprouts were not undercooked. The people who work there are lovely, and it's a good vibe, but it might just be a drinks & desserts spot for me.

    Good food and service. I had the pork chop that was tender and tasty. We were the first ones there…read morefor an early dinner before heading back to Sequim.
