Editorial Review for lolo – by Elizabeth Lopeman
In Short
The atmosphere is airy and attracts an eclectic mix of foodies who come to sample the small plates. Although Lolo hasn't entirely captured the complexities of traditional Spanish cuisine, its Americanized versions are delectable. Popular menu items include the house-made potato chips and Serrano ham and manchego cheese croquettes, Mediterranean octopus or lamb ribs with fingerling potatoes, Spanish olives and wilted greens. Traditional Spanish flan or chocolate mousse can be ordered for dessert.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoAlberta Street gets crowded on the last Thursday of every month for the Art Walk street fair. Getting a table then might take longer, but it's a great time to check out the neighborhood.
Where to SitTables with booth bench seating are best. Sitting near the door in such an open space is not recommended, and it tends to get loud in the center of the dining room.
What to DrinkChoose from a selection of Spanish wines, or finish your meal with a port.
Save MoneyHave a light meal by choosing a few tapas ranging from $4-$8 each.

My review is purely based on the drinks I've had at Lolo's. My party and I did not sample any of the food. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried the Hibiscus margarita (o Jamaica en Español). It was strong and on the rocks. The service was wonderful and I enjoyed the friendliness of our bartender. I might go back and try the food (despite the bad reviews elsewhere), but the prices scare me away. If I want to pay 9 dollars for a 8 oz rita, I will make my own.

I have enjoyed at least five meals at Lolo's, for a variety of occasions with large and small parties, and every time the service, the environment and the food have been terrific. Giorgio and Michael, his General Manager, have created a dining experience that is a nice contrast to the current list of restaurants in Portland that can't find a balance between an innovative meal, a relaxed environment and service that is warm, but appropriate. This restaurant takes risks with their menu and I appreciate that. The squid appetizer is delicious and we always order the chips. You can't go wrong with the chicken and warm potato salad and I think their unique version of Bread Pudding gives Papa Hyden a run for their money. We will keep going back.
Pros: The environment, warm staff and innovative food.
Cons: None.
