I had a dining experience at LOL that is hard to believe. It was so unbelievably bad that it will sound made up.
I was dining with my boyfriend and friend at LOL for some dinner and drinks.
We ordered two wines and a beer to start while we looked at the menu. Some how all the wines on the menu were "out" besides house merlot and a Malbec by the bottle. We settled for a glass of terrible merlot.
My boyfriend was really hungry so he ordered a margarita flatbread appetizer for us to share. Then after about 10 minutes had gone by, the waitress and someone from the kitchen came out to ask if margarita was tomato and cheese.
Taken a back, but we continued to venture on... and ordered some dishes for our main meal.
The flatbread came out and was dough-y/barely cooked... and tasted like a cheese pizza from Chuck E Cheese - not a margarita flatbread.
Then our main dishes were brought out - we had ordered a chicken sandwich with steamed veggies, empanadas / bruschetta mini plates, and fettuccine with shrimp.
However, empanadas were brought out without bruschetta. We waited a bit and then asked if it was coming. The waitress swore she didn't right it on her "document" and that it wasn't ordered. Nonetheless, we asked for it.
The pastas are served with a small salad. We had ordered a house salad with the fettuchini - none was ever brought.
I was waiting for my bruschetta and asked repeatedly if it was coming since "reordering" it. While waiting, I had some steamed veggies from my boyfriends meal. I took a piece of squash and sitting on the plate were two gold rings (not sure how the heck two gold rings end up on the bottom of steamed vegetables but it's super gross to see). Obviously, I freaked out and called over the waitress.
After the food was taken back to the kitchen, they brought out the other half of chicken sandwich for my boyfriend. Clearly, he was no longer hungry and was down veggies.
As we asked for the check, my bruschetta was FINALLY brought out - rather wishing it hadn't been.
The check, as I predicted, was wrong. The only beer ordered was Coors Light, but we were charged extra for imported beer. The chicken sandwich meal which we didn't actually get to eat because half was taken away was fully charged. The pasta dish also included the salad we didn't order
We asked the waitress if we could speak with the manager. The manager didn't understand anything that was going on and was extremely incompetent. After a bit of back and forth, we finally paid an extremely expensive check even though we didn't not receive full meals and each of us had something wrong with our meal.
In conclusion, we had been here prior and thought LOL might have something going for it and actually make it. However, Sandra, the waitress, and the 16-year-old-looking-manager will run this place into the ground. Now, I will NEVER go here again and will make sure that I tell everyone not to go near this place...
GOLD RINGS IN STEAMED...
Read moreThis place used to be amazing and we would go to massage haven and get a drink and food until they put horrible security guards at the entry after renovation who are unprofessional and rude and would not let you enter - It’s not a welcoming place anymore. Since the bar is public one should be allowed to get a drink and walk and enjoy the views of the bay or else might as well make it private and no entry for outsiders. I understand it’s private property but the security needs to explain it better or else it would just discourage any outsiders to visit that bar anymore - we left and did not order anything because of the bad behavior and uncomfortable...
Read moreWas looking to take my wife on a date in Brickell but didn't want to take her to the same over crowded places we always go. I stumbled upon this hidden gem behind the four ambassadors and had an amazing time. Not too many people so it felt private with romantic view of Brickell key and the bay.
It's a family owned business where they make everything fresh on the spot. I had fried calamari, chicken wings and pizza. The food was great the beer ice cold and to top it off the service was like none other. The owners are a beautiful couple that made us feel like family. We will definitely be...
