   Terrible service. I truly felt like I was in a hotel restaurant. Not enough staff to accommodate the tables. Food was rather mediocre.

   We were very excited to have a meal at Lola Rose. TBH, the restaurant is far too loud. We love to dine out but the bar at the other end was just too much. We could hardly hear our waiter. That said, the service and salads were fabulous, tasty and beautifully presented. The meat on the other hand- lamb and shrimp kababs were dreadful and dry. Overcooked. And tasted of char. What a shame. If you pride yourself on mezze you need to nail the kebabs. This is the heart of a mezze meal. Sadly, We won’t be back.

   Love the place. It is absolutely beautiful. The food is great. The service is great. One item to note: With quite a full room and the BLARING DJ music which is deafening it is impossible to have a conversation with your table group and not have ringing in your ears after you eat. If you want a very busy restaurant with delicious food this is your place!!

   We ate in restaurant last night. Sadly service was slow. We were without drinks initially for 10min or so and never asked by waitress if you needed more during our meal. We had to tell a bus boy to get our waiters for more drinks. That still took another 10min. Food delicious and ambiance in restaurant a great,,, it's beautiful. We love this place but noise level is HIGH and service has generally been average or less. In recent past sitting in the bar we had terrible services. We had to ask for the check 4 times and staff seemed "put off" by us. We were about to walk out, unpaid. We want this place to survive b/c food is really good, ambiance is A+. They need to tighten up customer facing teams. We love Alex

   Disappointed in the food. Place is lovely. I ordered the lamb Kebob … it was overcooked rather flavorless ground lamb. Nothing to write home about. My friend had the fried chicken sandwich and fries which was good and huge. Had expected so much more from this place

   Food and service was excellent! I have been to The Thompson multiple times, but this was my first dining experience at Lola Rose. The entire experience was wonderful! Thank you!

   I have been to the restaurant three times and the noise level has been very high. My major complaints is that there are two few items that aren’t drowning in Middle Eastern spices. For those of us who don’t share that particular taste, I’m afraid this restaurant, which I would like to recommend, is a no go for me until there are more options. I can’t imagine being a guest in the hotel and only having heavily spiced foods as my option.

    It has been a few months since we dined at Lola Rose. This was our 4th time enjoying Lola Rose. We enjoyed our personal interaction with Roc, the hostess. They are kind and welcoming. Always a pleasant welcoming and departing. Roc is sincere, and we appreciate the professionalism. I am happy to share the swordfish kabobs were wrll received by our party of five. They were flavorful and moist, cooked to perfection. Also, the size portion has doubled since our last visit. The octopus was by far the table favorite. Some stated it was the finest octopus dish ever experienced, the dish by which all other octopus dishes will be compared. The lamb was drier than our group would have preferred, but it was still flavorful. The beet salad was coveted by all! And the humus does not disappoint. Our waiter, Scott, appeared at the right times, always accommodating. My water glass never dropped below half full, as the plates were cleared in a timely fashion. Great team work! We will return again and again.
