Lola's — Restaurant in Diemen

We love the food of this place, always high quality dishes but the service can be disappointing sometimes.

I made a reservation on-line for tonight August 27th at 20.30. Both on the website and on Google (as the screenshot shows), it mentions that the kitchen closes at 21.00. We got there at 20.39 and the first thing the waitress said to us it’s that the kitchen closed at 20.30 so we couldn’t eat. If the kitchen wanted to close earlier, why didn’t they check the reservations and realise that there was one made at 20.30 and so have to serve food? It’s part of a good service complying with these things.

Additionally, a couple of months ago, we came again and there was also a confusion about serving deserts. One waitress mentioned that we could order the deserts later and then at the moment of ordering them another waitress told us that it wasn’t possible to do so because of the time. Then, we spoke with the first waitress who took our deserts order without issues or mentioning any limit timing.

Summarising: lack of will on the part of the...

The description says that the restaurant is open from 11. We had planned to have breakfast there on Sunday, but when we arrived at 11, the doors of the restaurant were closed, although the staff was already inside. We waited for 10 minutes and knocked, and this time the door was opened for us. It turned out that the kitchen only starts working from 12. We decided to order coffee and wait for the kitchen to open. The girl who served us looked very unfriendly. When my friend asked for hot water to be added to her mint tea, she took her cup without saying a word or even acknowledging the request. When she returned the cup, she placed it on the table with a thud. Luckily, the cup didn't break, but her attitude completely ruined my mood. Despite the fact that the food was tasty, the unfriendly service and lack of punctuality have deterred me from visiting the restaurant again...

Nice interior, food could be paid more attention to for that price.

We went for dinner with a party of 4. The place has a great atmosphere and feels very chic, the seats are comfortable and service is attentive.

We ordered burrata for a starter to share. It came without bread and we had to ask for plates to eat it from, which we found a bit strange. It tasted great though. From the mains the ravioli and fish were very good. We cannot recommend the shared steak for two as it came lukewarm and a big part of the steak consisted of bone. For that price it seemed that just ordering two steaks separately would have been a better deal.

On a note: The menu does not contain that many vegetarian options. The vegetarian dishes we had were...
