No_photo_small "Great brunch!" by lala (10 reviews)
September 01, 2007 - Have had both dinner and brunch at Lola's.  Have to say that this is another Tom Douglas restaurant done very well.  I would definitely recommend this place for brunch.  The dinner experience didn't reel me in like my favorite Douglas orignale-- Palace Kitchen.  But, overall very happy and satisifed!  When you go for brunch start out with coffee and the doughnuts!  It's the perfect start to enjoying a yummy brunch.

492 "Good, but nothing to write home about" by Benjamin Johnstone-Anderson (86 reviews)
May 21, 2007 - First of all, don't fall for Lola's moderate price symbol.  This is nosh fair on some dishes, while others provide a fuller meal.  This is also not a romantic place, which runs somewhat counterintuitive to its potential.  Lola was quite loud, at least on my visit.  I like how the Seattle Times put it - "unintentionally kid-friendly."
Overall, my visit was pleasant.  The food was good, the atmosphere was at least clean, but I just didn't really feel much to keep me coming.  The only reason I'd probably consider returning is to try the six-spread sampler ($14 - or $3 per indivudual spread), but with the power of the individual spreads, that seems like it would be a bit overwhelming.
Lola isn't bad, but nothing had me itching to come back.
