What People Are Saying About Chez Lola
The Editor

The Scene – Tin paneling, high ceilings, and a palette of green and ochre lead diners through this long, skinny restaurant owned by the same folks as Chez Oskar. The front and back dining rooms are dimly lit and romantic, separated by a sliver of a kitchen. But the show-stopper is out back: a beautiful garden with stone floor, brick walls and a canopy of green trees. – – The Food – The bistro fare includes appetizers like a cheese terrine served with maple syrup dressing, and delicious Bartlett pears stuffed with blue cheese and balanced atop serrano ham. Juicy New…

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
by mangiafa at Citysearch
I really thought Lola was going to be a great place to eat. Well, I couldn't have been more mistaken. The servicer pretended to be professional but clearly was not. We had a large party, 12, and this place just could not service us. The food took forever to get to us. Half of us got our food first and afer like 10 mins. the rest got theirs. Then to beat it all, the food was cold. It was sent back, nuked, and returned. Can you imagine nuking mussels? Oh, yeah, and the mussels were $12 for like 12 mussels. Unheard of anywhere, even in NY.. The paella was not edible. Not only cold but horrible. Grainy gross rice with non-descriptive seafood, meager portion as well.. don't bother wasting ur time or money. We had to ask for bread after sitting for like 35 mins and getting no even water.
- Pros: NICE AMBIENCE
- Cons: TOO MANY

If you want a relaxing and pleasurable meal then go to Chez lola which puts it sister restaurant, Chez Oskar, to shame. The food is wonderful, the staff is accomodating, and the atmosphere is pleasant. Go there!
- Pros: Atmosphere/Food

My husband and i had a terrible experience at Chez Lola.
The service was unfriendly and simply unprofessional . We showed up at 10 pm and the waitress made us clearly understand that she didn't want to serve any longer that night. She rushed us and was very rude in her attitude.
The quality of the food was ridiculous. First my meal, the pork loin, arrived cold! and the sauce tasted like one of those Maggi tablets! My husband ordered the chicken and it wasn't delectable at all. It is dinner food! But too expensive for that!
And last detail: the cooks whistling at me from their open kitchen when we left!
Un grand moment de gastronomie !!!
A very poor experience! I really don't recommend that place!
