    Poor services, not knowledgable about availability of wine. Unpleasant smell from where I was seated. Potions for a large salad is ridiculous.

    Yuca fries, ceviche (top notch leche de Tigre), and provolone were all excellent. Atmosphere is great but way too loud when sat by the speakers. New York strip is pretty good but don’t order the filet. Trust me on this.

    Lolinda is always an amazing place to eat. There were 5 of us and we all just got 8-10 share plates. It was plenty! Service is amazing, drinks are great, staff is so awesome, and the ambiance is perfect for a night out with friends. Will always come back here!

    We spend our New Year's Eve's and our birthdays at Lolinda. And every time, it's a hit! Great food and a great couple folks that work there make the experience fantastic. Carlos is one of the servers and is a staple employee and has the most welcoming personality that makes him so special to us. And now, after our past couple dinners, Vincent has made our visits most special. Believe he's a manager. Great personality and very accommodating to any needs that we might have. And better than that, just a great personality to talk to and have visit our table. Can't say enough about Lolinda. Great people, great food & good times. A most definite have to!

    We were a larger party celebrating a friend's birthday on a Saturday evening. We enjoyed our experience very much. We had the seafood stew (excellent and piping hot), NY Steak (perfectly med rare), Filet Mignon (nice portion 7oz, not too huge, tender and also med rare. I recommend to include the sherry mushroom sauce for the filet mignon, I had it on the side), the braised short ribs (fork tender and amazing sauce), and Octopus with forbidden rice & squid ink (superb, supple, perfectly tender and full of flavor). We also had the vegetable sides; eggplant, cauliflower (only miss for us, too sweet for us), Yukon gold potatoes with chimmichurri (so deliciously creamy). We had a member in our party that's allergic to gluten and corn! The waiter was so thoughtful, he had the chef mark a menu with check marks next to items that my friend was safe to consume. Also, he had the kitchen separate out the polenta braised short ribs so she can share the dish without cross contamination. The waiter did this discreetly with my friend so nobody felt uncomfortable. We all enjoyed our experience very much. Thank you, Lolinda, for a delightful, perfectly prepared meal and lovely service. 10/10, highly recommend this restaurant.

    Had a great Christmas Eve dinner with the family. Everything was excellent: the pork chop, ribeye, and salmon. The apple dessert was delicious.

    It was an amazing dinner! The food, ambiance, and service were on point. Our waiter, Brian, had wonderful suggestions, and the timing of the dishes coming out of the kitchen was perfect. Don't miss the ceviche with corn fritters or the pulpo. The cocktails are a wonderful addition to the meal. Wonderful restaurant and service made for a perfect evening. I will definitely be coming back.
