    From host to server we had the most amazing experience. Food was yummy. We ordered the Octopus in beans. It was perfect taste to the palette. Then came our pork chop with chimichurri sauce. Cooked perfectly!! The side of Cauliflower wasn’t your ordinary side dish, it’s so delicious and flavorful with a bit of sweet yet savory. For dessert we went for the churros. 2 chocolate dipping sauce was included. Our server was attentive and the host came by to check on us as well. This is my 5th time eating at Lolinda. Will be going back again!!

    The ambiance was great, however there was a noticeable delay between our starters and entrees coming out. We ordered oysters - which were fresh, baked cheese and warmed olives, and the focaccia was deliciously herby. Swordfish, duck, and two steak frites were ordered as mains, all arrived together however the fries were dry and cold (as compared to the steak on the same plate). Overall the food and drinks were delicious.

    From the first greeting by the host until the very last sip of our digestifs, Delfina made us feel like the world was okay at least for the evening. Our server was knowledgeable, honest and helpful. You can never go wrong with their pasta but their whole grilled fish was impressive too with perfect accompaniments. Salad was well executed with perfect balance of freshness and smokiness from the few bits of meat.

    Amazing food and service. Great price for an omakase! The add-ons are a must try though. The Signature Toast, Crystal Uni and Scallop Skewer are awesome!
