Lola's Tapas - Wine Bar

Jazz was AMAZING! We went for hohohoboken and were told we could only be seated w/ reservations after being told while waiting in line we didn’t need them. we were starving and the manager noticed, and so did Jazz and offered us a table with the BEST service. Everyone was so kind and accommodating, especially Jazz and the food came out extremely quick! (Large portions too!!)

we had the best experience, Christian was our server and was super friendly. EVERYTHING was delicious. We had mariscada, grilled octopus, white sangria, chocolate Irish cream shots, plantain wrapped brisket, and lobster ravioli. Soooo good will definitely be back <3

Amazing food and service! We had the Spanish meatballs, an amazing monkfish dish and another wonderful filet mignon and ham dish. The wines were also extremely good. Highly recommend this place!

We always have a great time at Lola’s. Really good service, food and ambiance. Their paella is an absolute yes!

Great setting, broad selection of seafood and steak and a nice wine list. The service is extremely attentive even with our large party that we had present.

Was amazing stopping by in Lola's. The food was delicious and generous 😋 we enjoyed the marinara paella 🥘 for two 😋 good prices and very good service 😀

The server is friendly and the food was good :) I wanna go again

Had to try this place after a famous TikToker with 2.7 million followers recommended it. This restaurant did not disappoint! From the service to the espresso martini, everything was perfect! They even gave us a free dessert! Looking forward to coming back.

Excellent food and - if anything - too extensive of a menu! You just have to ask what they recommend and pick from there because there is so much to choose from at Lola’s! The sangria is also out of this world and the wait staff are very efficient and kind. Oh, and the owner is super nice too

Hoboken icon! Don’t even think about it see you there! The good is immaculate and the service is top notch. Celebrate a birthday, a baby shower or bachelorette! They have the space you need to celebrate.

Had a private party here and the staff was AMAZING with timing of food and service. We had so much fun here and left with happy stomachs and hearts. Would recommend 10000%. They are so kind and want to make your party a success. Thank you Lola staff❤️

Food was omg everything was perfect. Staff everything. Meet the owner was so kind and you can even have a full conversations. I told my husband the we will be back. Thank you for your services. Love it 10/10.

Best food i've had in a very long time. The service was amazing as well.

I’ll say this, the octopus was delicious and generally I’m not the biggest fan. Extensive menu, unique decor. Well worth a visit.

We had a wonderful experience at Lola’s. The service was 10/10. The drinks were great and strong :) the garlic shrimp were delicious.

A regular staple for me. The octopus is always so decadently cooked and lightly seasoned to perfection. This was my first time trying the croquetas, the spinach ones were flavorful but the rest I can’t recall the flavor but they weren’t to die for. The swordfish was another dish they mastered. I find that many places overcook the swordfish, but not here, it was perfectly moist and rich in juices. I tried the scallops but I would never… ever… ever order that again. That was the strangest combination of flavors the world may have ever seen. It was like a fruity sauce with nuts and 4 scallops for like 25 dollars. Definitely stay away from that concoction. Anyway, their sangria, espresso martinis and bar are always amazing. The service is always on point from beginning to end and that’s why it will stay a staple for me.

Had some great tapas at this place! The staff members are friendly, the ambiance is nice and everything came out in time and tasted great!

I had a very high expectation as it is said to have the best paella and Spanish tapas in NJ area. It’s fairly good but doesn’t amaze me. Some seafood feels not very fresh. Overall slightly disappointing…

This is a 4.5 start Place !!! Great location; tasty food; good balances between each Tapas !!! Its really taste fresh from the scratch !! I just hope the service get more on point Please clean the menus or just create a digital one so we as customers do not feel our hands so greasy

It got 4 stars only because their house wine was beyond and above. The food was mediocre and boring. I would personally cut the menu at least in half or just leave 25%. Clams were returned to the kitchen because they were bitter.

Good enough. Only thing I didn’t like was the scallops. So smallll and bland. All others were good

Patatas bravas were okay. I expected the sauce to feel more rich or the potatoes more crispy. The croquettes were not good in my opinion and they bring them with marinara sauce which I find weird, felt like I was eating mozzarella sticks with marina sauce. The sausage was good with the veggies.

The place is really beautiful and the service is perfect! But the food is regular. We got the paella and the patatas bravas, and they were not that flavourful. For the prices, they were not as good as we expected, my boyfriend is spanish and he said it was ok.

My sister and I got the seafood platter on the tile to share. It was a good amount of food for the price, and was well seasoned and delicious! The crab legs tasted a little bit less than fresh, though everything else was great. A few tapas were a bit of a miss personally, though I haven't made my way through all of them yet either, so I'll reserve final judgement for when I do! We also got a pitcher of the housemade red sangria, and that was dangerously good - drank it like juice! 😂

Very nice place. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. Nice atmosphere.

Food was very tasty, but definitely a bit over priced. We enjoyed everything we tried. The lamb chops were the biggest disappointment, they tasted great but 3 one bite chops that costs the price of a whole meal. The paella was delicious! The dessert was okay. Would go back was a nice dinner, the service was great everyone was nice and helpful.

For the price I was expecting much more. The service was slow and only a couple dishes hit the mark (avocado + crab was tasty). The scallops were small, overcooked, and surrounded by chewy bacon. The broccolini was a little overcooked as well. We had shrimp pasta that was nice, but I like my noodles more al dente. We also had red sangria, which was delicious, but not very strong on the alcohol side. Overall, we were pretty disappointed with the dinner and probably won't go back.

Nice decoration and grand variety of Spanish wines. The food is not the same as in Spain, but it is OK. The service was very good.

Great service, nice(ish) but overpriced savory food, nice coffee but horrible desserts. The seating area outside is nice. The bathroom is clean.

Staff is very attentive and nice. The ambience is great. The tapas were great, however, it was the paella that ruined it for me. I wanted to love it. It had zero flavor, the seafood tasted steamed. They needed to add seasoning and also let that rice in the bottom of the pan crisp up. It even lacked oil. For sure no saffron either. I can forgive that as I know saffron is very expensive, but at least use stock to flavor it up. Felt like plain rice with steamed seafood on it....so, meh.

The experience was ok; the music was too loud, it was hard to keep a normal conversation. The service was ok too, the food took very long to come out, and it was terrible. I asked for lamb medium-well and got overcooked hard lamb meat. The garnish sauce was extremely salty, and the pieces of lamb tiny. From each piece of lamb, the most I got was three bites. The waiter said there were no side dish options; it was "whatever the chef felt like giving me." The vegetables that the chef felt like giving me were tasteless and seemed like microwaved veggies. I also got mashed potatoes, which was decent. I would not consider going back to that place or recommending it.

Food felt over priced, with a focus on quantity over quality. Sangria had lumps of undissolved sugar at the bottom. Spanish anchovies were good, other food not memorable. We sat outside which was really nice but the owner and friends were smoking at a nearby table which killed the atmosphere (some patrons asked to be moved because of the cigarette smoke and I don't think anyone even apologized to them). Waiters were all good and attentive but the kitchen was slow with getting the food out.

Restaurant was completety empty, but servers were very friendly which I appreciated until I found out they snuck in a lobster to our seafood paella order and charged extra when I clearly asked for the regular one 🤨 like why do that to customers when we could've walked away with an okay impression? Went after seeing positive reviews but only the octopus was good/dishes were dusty bc there wasn't enough turnaround.

Well lets just say that they stated Baby back ribs on the menu and served spare ribs 😔. This is actually a common practice for restaraunts trying to mislead people and scam them with cheap ribs. Before i made this review, i waited a while to write this without emotion. Now for the rest of the food. It was $100 before tip for the swordfish, bacon wrapped scallops, baby back ribs, and 1 drink. Overpriced for the overcooked food. I asked two different people at the resteraunt if these were spare ribs. They both stated fiecly these were baby back ribs. Look at the photo and you tell me. I make spare ribs all the time. I make baby back ribs all the time. It was just a disappointment that we were misled about the ribs. The entire atmosphere was odd. Upon walking in, i asked another table about how the food was. They said they only had the appetizer and had waited 30 minutes so far for the rest of the food it did not look busy like other places. We actually were served everything fairly quickly. Swordfish was very dry, scallops were so tiny and very rubbery. And the ribs were overcooked. Anyway. Would i eat here again? No. Would i recommend this place? No. The server was great, but he also stated those were baby back ribs. It was a bar and sitdown restaurant. Quiet enough for a date atmosphere but also lively.

My favorite parts of the meal were the bread and cheese at the beginning, and then when we left at the end. My BF and I had been wanting to try this spot out for a while. We always passed by it and saw that they had HH drinks/tapas til 11 at the bar, M-F. We came in on a Monday at around 8:30 and the place was pretty empty. Maybe because it was a Monday? But I don't think I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, because the food was pretty terrible so I think that was the reason. It was like they just pulled in anybody who was available for the night, put them in the kitchen, and said "hey, whatever you think this tapas dish is, make your interpretation of it with whatever we have in the kitchen. Here is everything we had: Chicken wings - these were smothered in some kind of sauce. It tasted like AYCE wings that you'd get from a Hoboken bar. Not really sure what we were thinking when we decided to order this. Lomo embuchado - so we didn't know what this was and they told us it was thinly sliced pork. But I just Googled it and it's actually dry-cured pork loin. What we got was a thin, and dry piece of salty pork. Not exactly the same as dry-cured. Croquetas - pretty basic. These are definitely refried again and again, if they can't sell them all Meatballs - salty and dry Seafood salad - we were told that this was ceviche but in actuality, it was just boiled shrimp and squid, covered in an old salsa Shrimp ajillo - this was the only thing that was actually not bad. But it's not enough to make me want to come back Drinks were no better. I had a cosmo and BF had a mojito and both were straight sugar. Maybe the regular, non-happy hour hour menu is better? (doubtful) Try the "tapas" at your own risk.

The server had a bit of attitude and the food was not good at all. Not worth it!

The food was really disappointing—possibly the worst paella I’ve ever had. It lacked flavor, and none of the ingredients seemed fresh. The service, however, was good.

As if someone had tapas described to them and then had to recreate it using whatever was left in their freezer. Just a bunch of highly overpriced, brown, vaguely Spanish tasting food. Nothing here is good.

Food was expensive and not what you'd call "authentic" Spanish cuisine especially if you've ever been to Spain.
