★★★★★ 5.0 April Lauren · Feb 2026

Cafe Lola absolutely nailed it. We started with the bacon-wrapped dates and WOW — perfectly crisp on the outside, warm and sweet inside, with that salty bacon balance that makes you close your eyes for a second. Easily one of the best appetizers I’ve had in a while. The chicken-crusted entrée was flavorful, tender, and beautifully prepared — you can tell they care about presentation and quality. Every bite felt thoughtful. And let’s talk dessert… the warm butter cake was pure comfort. Moist, rich, topped with whipped cream and paired with ice cream — the perfect ending. Not overly sweet, just decadent enough. We paired everything with a delicious red blend that complemented the meal perfectly. Smooth, bold, and exactly what you want with a cozy dinner. The ambiance was intimate and in

I don’t usually write reviews but this place absolutely deserves the 5 star rating I’m giving them. I was a party of 6 with no reservation on a Friday evening and the manager (I think) was still kind enough to accommodate us. This was my first time here so wasn’t aware you needed a reservation. The service was top notch. My glass never got empty and used plates were taken off the table asap. The food was jaw dropping. I was not expecting this. It was on another level. I haven’t ate anywhere in the Tri-Cities that tasted as good as this place. I got the French dip sandwich with fries and for a starter got the spinach and artichoke dip. Words just cannot describe how good it was. We also had the chocolate fondue. Superb! Last the price was very reasonable for the quality and service. I’d pay

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Redfox Brushhound · Feb 2026

I had high hopes for Cafe Lola Bistro based on the Google reviews and atmosphere, but unfortunately my experience fell short. We were seated fairly quickly and brought waters right away, but it took a long time for our waitress to come take our drink order. So long that we decided to order our food at the same time because we didn’t want to wait any longer. I ordered a watermelon margarita and was told they didn’t have watermelon, so I switched to strawberry. It was just okay, juice-like and very weak on the tequila. I wasn’t asked whether I wanted a sugar or salt rim (it came with neither). My friend ordered a flight of wines and was satisfied with it. I ordered the French dip. The bread was good, but the meat was dry and the au jus was cold, gelatinous, more like gravy than au jus. I a

★★★★★ 5.0 Joselin Zehring · Jan 2026

Natalie was such a wonderful soul! I have been coming to this restaurant since 2012 when I was in high school. The food is always prepared fresh and the place is always clean! I have never had a complaint in over 10 years! Top notch environment and the pricing is wonderful. This is my favorite restaurant hands down.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Emily Blackmore · Sep 2025

We decided to try this place for lunch today. Upon entering, we were promptly greeted and told to sit where we'd like. We picked a seat by the window. The waitress asked if we'd like a water, but didn't give any other options for drinks. After we'd decided on a "brunch menu" item, we were told that's served on a different day and to pick from the lunch menu. It's actually written, albeit very small, the specific times the brunch menu is being served. Our waitress stood there awkwardly while we both decided (again) what we'd like. I made a rushed decision to get a croque monsieur, because the waitress just seemed really busy and ready to take our order. My husband ended up deciding on a chicken sandwich. The food arrived promptly, and was pretty on the plate. Flavor was decent, but honest
