I really don't understand the positive reviews. We were there on Thursday for lunch and were the only ones in the restaurant. The pizza was ok but the dough lacked an appealing texture and the sauce was a tad pasty. This does not compare to Pomo for example. Next went to the pasta. I had the Bolognese and while it wasn't bad, the meat was definitely an American version of a real Bolognese blend. The papparadelle a pomodoro was average at best. Again the sauce lacked finesse. Unfortunately, I must say the same for the tiramisu. We have had such good tirami su of late at Andreoli, Pomo and Trattoria Veneto. The tiramisu here simply lacked flavor. This is really just an American version of an Italian restaurant trying to be chic but lacking talent in the kitchen to pull it off.

Feels a bit sparse in selection in comparison to the one in Boston. Zaras are always such a hit or miss, and this one was definitely a miss. The selection seemed a bit "old" rather than trendy.

I think I have had enough of all the Hooter-haters. Seriously - if you want to be completely aroused during dinner, then go eat at a strip club. The girls are not meant to be swimsuit models, otherwise they wouldn't be working at Hooters. The point is, if you are going somewhere to drink beer and eat wings, you may as well have a girl with big hoo-hoos serving you. She doesn't have to be a 10 for her to make it a more pleasant experience than getting beer and wings from some hurting girl somewhere else. So get over it, stop with the criticisms and enjoy yourself. Wings = good and cheap. Ham & cheese sandwich - surprisingly edible. Beer - same as everywhere else. Boobs - well above average. Plus the view of the pool patrons while you are eating is a plus. I knocked off one star because the bartender was way too full of herself and wouldn't even smile while serving drinks. She might be a Hooter-hater too. If you're too full of yourself to work there, get the hell out.

I was here with a party of 9 and despite waiting past our reservation we were accommodated and taken care of very nicely. I hadn't heard of Lola's but apparently they're a big deal and have appeared on "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives" for their roast beef po' boy. I was glad to try a local spot, away from the strip and downtown casinos. Lola's had a quaint, simple atmosphere that was very welcoming (and some TVs in case you need to catch the game). Our waitress was great, positive and seemed happy to be there. I had a glass of chardonnay ($6) and it was pretty good. Some native Louisianans were super excited for Abita beer, of which they had many varieties. Bf & I split the Shrimp Etouffee and the Cafish Po' Boy with Fries and Potato Salad. The Etouffee was very tasty but could have been a little spicier. It was warm and comforting and filling though - exactly what I wanted. The catfish po' boy was a big surprise -- it was WAY better than I expected. The hoagie roll (apparently flown in from Louisiana) was amazing. So soft and fluffy and crispy. The remoulade was amazing too... I could have maybe just had that and bread and been satisfied. The fries were tasty, the potato salad was very "meh". Everyone at the table seemed to love their food and had ordered a range of things from gumbo to bread pudding. All in all, an extremely welcome change from casino buffets. Now where can I get that bread?!
