Polished, Greek-inspired spot delivering flavorful brunch and kebabs with standout spreads and desserts, though prices run high and service consistency varies.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Lola delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by reliable brunch standouts—shakshuka, eggs Benedict, and exceptional spreads—plus a warm, bustling atmosphere that draws repeat visits. Inconsistent execution on pricier mains and variable service attentiveness prevent a higher grade, though the convenient downtown location and family-friendly approach make it competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants.
Restaurant Summary
Steps from the hotel corridor, Lola feels warm and bustling, a downtown perch where brunch plates fly and servers steer guests toward sharing. One diner raved, "The spreads, octopus, and kebabs were spot on," while another noted lively, sometimes loud energy during peak hours. The cooking leans Greek-inspired with a Pacific Northwest sensibility—think bright spreads and polished mezze, kebabs, and comfort-leaning brunch hits. It is not a strict traditional taverna; you will see manti dumplings, berbere accents, and zhoug alongside classics. When it lands—shakshuka, octopus hash, doughnuts, and that coconut pie—it is compelling; a few pricier mains (notably lamb) draw mixed notes for depth. Families will find it approachable: pancakes, french toast, fries, burgers, and eggs keep kids happy, and the room is casual and energetic. There is no explicit kids menu, but plenty of familiar choices. Expect downtown prices and a wait at peak brunch; reservations help.
