The Staff:
Unfortunately, the service speed at Lola Taverna can be pretty slow. On busy nights, guests may have to wait longer than expected for their food and drinks to arrive, leading to frustration and a less enjoyable dining experience. I noticed there was only one main waiter, which overwhelmed the servers, and they struggled to keep up with the demands of the restaurant.

The Food:
The food at Lola Taverna is exceptional. One dish that consistently receives rave reviews is the chicken souvlaki, a Greek classic made with tender, juicy chicken skewers marinated in a blend of herbs and spices. The chicken is grilled to perfection and served over rice and veggies, then topped with a delicious sauce. Every bite is bursting with flavor, making this dish a must-try for anyone visiting Lola Taverna. The menu also offers a variety of other mouth-watering options, from classic steak to traditional Greek dips with fresh pita. The use of high-quality, fresh ingredients cannot be understated here.
