Lola's Caribbean Restaurant

Lolas Caribbean Resturant was founded in 2010. Lolas Caribbean Resturant specializes in Eating Places.

Carribean (Cuban/Puerto Rican/Dominican) Food

Merging these three cultures that compliment each other so well is not found often, with most Carribean cuisines encompassing Jamaican and other Carribean islands' foods. The entrees are unique and authentic, creatively presented (the mofongo entree was served in a 9 inch tall hollowed out tiki), and I was impressed to see Chinese Style Cuban Roast Pork (Cuba has a China Town and a very strong Asian influence). But after four visits the preparation turned inconsistent with a heavy hand on some ingredient (salt in one case) that overpowered what was a potentially fantastic creation. Soups, salads, appetizers, remain consistently fresh and delicious. The dining is large with two story ceilings, yet intimate. The value seems reasonable, with the exception of a codfish fritter appetizer priced at $10 for 4 tiny pieces of breaded cod (and not a fritter at all).

The desserts we've tried were a huge let down. The "banana rum bread pudding" turned out to be what looked like a dried out cinnamon bun with cream sauce poured over it. We couldn't eat it. The pineapple coconut cake seemed stale.

The staff is friendly, but not the best trained, and tend to be inefficient when they're crowded.

We really hope Lola's works on its few loose ends, because the cuisine is unique and overdue.
