Welcome back. If you’re hesitant to go to Lola’s because of the new owner, don’t be. The food is back to being delicious and authentic. It was like the original Lola’s used to be. There were four of us and we had grilled oysters, gumbo, shrimp creole,jambalaya, and signature orange bowl salad. So happy we tried it again. It was delicious and we’ll be back soon.
