- HHoneyvipSeattle / Eastern Washington •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoHow about this: Wow! The ambiance was incredible, and the staff were so lovely! The drink menu was super creative and delicious. We were stranded at a hotel due to a power outage in our area, and we're so glad we found this gem! You need to book in advance, but it's totally worth the wait. The drinks were pricey but worth every penny 💕 We'll definitely be back!More infoDeep DivePrice: Expensive• Cocktail Bar• Lake Union / Eastlake•4.8

- CCaroleNew Orleans / Louisiana •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoThe food, as always, was wonderful. My o Lu complaint is the timing of the food coming out of the kitchen. Everything came at the same time! We ordered pita and spreads. We thought those would come first and we could enjoy them with our first glass of wine. As it was - everything arrived together. Not ideal. We ordered espresso with our dessert. It came and then we waited and waited for dessert. Espresso was cold by the time it came out. They could work on their timing!More infoLola SeattlePrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Downtown•4.7
