text: I finally got the chance to visit Lola on my way home from a poetry reading at the Phoenix Art Museum Last nightSide note If you get the chance to see Aaron Johnson read do sonnI somehow feel the need to appologize for the lack of stars to all of you who seem to love this place I would certainly be willing to give it another try but I was not impressednnFirst the music is loud and therefore everyone talking in the place turns up the volume and as my girlfriend and I were seated across from each other at the communal table we could barely reach to share the food let alone hear each othernnWhy are the tables so big if the food is so small Maybe I am a bit of a glutton but for dollars I essentially ate a mushroom for dinnerDo not get me wrong it was tasty and I understand Tapas are appetizers but dollars I was disapointed I used to go to Firefly in Vegas and it was cheaper and tastiernnWe just wanted to try this place and move on someplace quieter but I was really looking forward to itWe decided not to have drinks and simply share one thing so we could get to said quieter place before it got too lateI think because we ordered so little the waitress considered us a waste as far as her tips were concerned and therefore seemed not so friendlyand those little bitty glasses of water they bringI drank immediately and it was never refilled nnI was overall not impressed by anything except a patrons sweet ass Salvador Dali Mustache I can see the charm there and I probably will give it another shot but based on this trip stars is fairer than fair
