"Wow, the ambiance of the place, coupled with the picturesque drive, really sets the stage for a delightful brunch brimming with Southern charm. However, today's interaction with the owner was jarringly out of sync with the idyllic setting. Her demeanor was puzzling; whether due to stress, an off day, or indifference, it was hard to tell. Initially, I felt a twinge of discomfort as a person of color in a predominantly non-brown setting, but it quickly became clear that the briskness was universally directed. The table seated after us echoed my encounter, yet, the incredible service and delectable food offered by the establishment smoothed over the rough edges of the experience. Broth, our server, was exceptional, managing to provide attentive service to both indoor and outdoor diners with grace. Despite an unexpected visit from a swarm of bees, which I attribute to Virginia's capricious weather, the meal itself was superb. The coffee alone justifies the drive, and the pricing is aligned with the quality of the food. I'm willing to return, hopeful for a warmer welcome next time. When the anticipation of a delicious meal gets the better of me, I often realize too late that I've missed the chance to snap a picture. I'm committing to capturing my culinary moments before diving in moving forward."

The food, atmosphere, and service were fantastic! I ordered the mushroom soup and the fried green tomatoes, and I highly recommend them.

The food was great and the outdoor seating was the reason why we came. However, inside is kinda dirty/dingy and not decorated that well IMO. They also only have beer and wine. Those are the two reasons it didn't get a 5 star. Also, one person bathrooms can get problematic. So, sit outside and enjoy being in the country.

This was our first visit to this restaurant, and I can assure you that we will return. The food was outstanding. We enjoyed sitting on the patio, which had a wonderful atmosphere. There were several fire pits in the outdoor seating area, along with gardens that created a soothing backdrop with the sound of flowing water. View menu

Fantastic restaurant and always a relaxing and enjoyable time. This is one of our favorites and often used for special occasions. We like sitting outside, but inside is just fine. Most italian dishes are classic and well prepared. Other dishes and specials tend to be more creative. The cashew crusted halibut last night was extraordinary. Great service as well.

was here several times, but yesterday was the first time to brunch and we enjoyed it very much. it did not hurt that it was a perfect day that was only extended by a fantastic location. the personal was lovely...professional and yet friendly. attentive, but not intrusive, and eating was always really good quality for the price. When they go to the brunch there, they really have to try to her booze sandwich. I could have eaten two of them, not because they are small, but just so good.

I stumbled upon this gem on a random Saturday afternoon, and "charming" perfectly describes Lola's. Even as a local, it felt like I'd found a magical spot on a road trip. The outdoor garden area is delightful for dining, although we ended up inside, which was also beautifully eclectic. I loved the restaurant cat and, of course, Lola the parrot perched on the upper balcony for diners to admire. The food was excellent and reasonably priced for the quality of ingredients. The homemade salad dressings were outstanding, and I was very pleased with all our meal choices. You really can't go wrong with anything you order, but definitely get a salad—the dressings are a must-try! As a fellow small-sca...

"UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: Aside from being left on hold for 15 minutes when calling to adjust my reservation and the seared salmon being slightly overcooked and under seasoned, our experience was phenomenal! Blaise was the BEST server I’ve ever had going above and beyond to make our dinner perfect! Her timing, thoughtfulness, and consideration were impeccable. She was knowledgeable about the establishment and never hesitated to do her best to meet our needs, even coming through on serving us our favorite sushi roll which had been taken off the menu months ago. She recommended a drink after identifying my preference for sweet wines without me having to ask or explain. She offered to cut up strawberries to serve with my boyfriend’s complimentary birthday cheesecake. She made sure our food choices came out at the appropriate times — it’s like she thought of everything! She redeemed Red Salt in my eye because I was starting to resent them after a couple of meh experiences. Note: indoors is chilly! Always. Turn down AC Superb dining experience! The ambiance is great, was seated quickly, the entire staff is courteous, and the food is amazing. What more could you ask for? My boyfriend ordered the scallops with a side of Mac and cheese both were delicious and I had the lamb chops. We shared a Tanji roll, which was tasty. His meal arrived before my mine, but we learned directly from the manager, let's call him Mr. Redpants, that my dish had been dropped during delivery! He was genuinely apologetic and even encouraged me to accept a snack on him. I chose the fried oysters, which were good if you like spicy food. My water glass was never empty and our table was never crowded with empty plates. Definitely recommend this restaurant!"
