Lola

Lola is a Greek restaurant from Seattle chef and restaurateur Tom Douglas, located in the Hotel Andra at 2000 4th Avenue in the Denny Triangle area of downtown Seattle, Washington. Tom Douglas operates a group of well-known Seattle restaurants, and Lola brings a Northwest sensibility to Greek and Eastern Mediterranean cooking. The menu emphasises shared plates and grilled items, with the lamb burger, kofte and Greek doughnuts named among the signature dishes. The doughnuts, served with sweet dipping sauces, are a particular draw at breakfast and dessert. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, which makes it useful for hotel guests and for visitors staying downtown. The dining room is warm, open and lively, with a busy open kitchen and a moderate noise level, and the dress code is casual to smart casual. The beverage programme includes Greek and Mediterranean wines, local beers and cocktails, along with coffee for the morning service. Prices are moderate to upper moderate, at roughly $30 to $55 per person. Reservations are accepted online, and booking is wise for weekend dinners and brunch, though weekday visits are often easier. The location is convenient for the Seattle Center, Pike Place Market and the downtown theatre district, and is within walking distance of several central hotels. Visitors can share multiple small plates to sample the menu, then finish with the doughnuts. Confirm current hours on the Tom Douglas website, since service times vary by meal and day.
