Lola 41 Nantucket Reviews
Oh man this place has gone downhill the last year or two.
We sat outside in the tented terrace, which was fine, not too loud, space heaters blowing. There definitely needed to be more than one waitress out there though. It took about 10 minutes for someone to come to our table to order cocktails, then another 10 minutes to get them, then another 10-15 minutes to order our food. It was slowwww. The sushi is fine, but there are so many other better sushi spots on island now, that it isn't a draw to come here for that. The korean beef bulgogi (which I have had a few times in the past) has tender beef, but the dish is SO FREAKING SPICY (moreso than I remembered) and it just overpowers the dish so much that you can't even enjoy the other flavors. There was also an insane amount of sauce coating the lo mein noodles. I could have poured a cup full of liquid out of the bottom of the dish. And hardly any broccoli in there to be seen. Felt like they took one broccoli floret and just chopped it up. Overall- Not worth it. There are much better restaurants on island worth your time and money.
I heard this is one of the best places on Nantucket and I
I heard this is one of the best places on Nantucket and I was a little disappointed. We sat outside and a lot more could have been done to the space to add to the ambiance. The service was phenomenal. The food was okay, I had better sushi while visiting cape cod. The Salmon Lo Main was very very good. I would definitely recommend that dish. Overall, I'm not sure I would come back but it was good just not great.
Had a reservation for dinner here.
Had no problem getting a table, as it was the last weekend before the season. The ambiance was nice and on the dark side inside that forced the use of the candlelight at the tables. Ended up with a really nice server. No issues with her at all, but the food was a let down. We had ordered the chicken lettuce cups, but they never came. I don't attribute this to our server, but at the end of the day, the entrees had enough food to not need this. We ended up getting the grilled salmon lo mein (water chestnuts, snoew peas, broccoli, carrot, bell pepper and sorrel) and the lola burger (cabot cheddar, red onion compote, foie gras sauce on an english muffin). The burger did come with thick shoestring fries. Food was a little bit of a let down. The grilled salmon itself was pretty good but the lo mein was just okay. Not overly flavorful and unrememberable. The burger was also just okay. The fries were not good. Half soggy and way too salty. We did let the server know about the missing lettuce cups and she took care of it no problem. Very disappointing for a high-end restaurant. This was the least-liked food of the trip.
Had such a great experience, returned the next night.
Started here with apps and drinks. The drink menu was eclectic and ran from sweat to savory. I would recommend anything with a chili lime rim, just fantastic. The apps were ridiculous. Bay scallops credo, the braised ribs, and we have talked about the truffle fries for days after. The Aphrodite cocktail was good enough for a walk back the next night. Unfortunately we couldn't make dinner work for us this trip, but the locals know that reservations are usually only available same day, so call early and often. If you catch a break and they unexpectedly open early, don't pass up the opportunity at any time of day.
Recently had dinner at LoLa 41.
They must be running out of ingredients. The spring garden salad had 4 tiny bits of asparagus, no English peas, no blood orange and no grapefruit segments. The Korean beef bulgogi was over spaghetti, not egg noodles, the Chinese broccoli consisted of several small pieces of the stalks. Not certain if there was any fried garlic in the dish. Will NOT return.
Fantastic! Service 5Tuna was our go to and was top notch.
Can't say enough great things about our server she was incredible. Our corner tent table was very romantic Highly recommend
Will return!
We had a fantastic dinner here! The drinks, food, service and ambiance were all perfect. Could have done without the EDM music, but I guess thatโs the vibe.
great cocktails, and such a fun vibe for late night drinks

Yes, it is unbelievably overpriced, and yes, getting a reservation is incredibly inconvenient, but the food here is so good. This was the first place I ever tried sushi, and you can't go wrong with any of their burgers! A scene at night.
Food is great, management sucks.
After spending $2k at the bar we were told we had to leave to make room for other people. Still had 1/2 a bottle of wine left. And if you want to make a reservation you have to physically stand in line at their front door at 4:00pm to male one. They don't answer the phone. Plenty of other great places to eat on ACK without the crap attitude.
Terrible experience, arrogant host
Lots of hype, but just not worth it. As previous reviews have noted, just getting a reservation is a feat, and after 54 calls I secured a reservation for myself and my two daughters for a very special occasion to celebrate. I did request a window seat and was told it could not be guaranteed, which I understood. When we arrived a perfect window seat was open and I asked the host if we could sit at that table, I was told no, it was reserved for a VIP requested by the Owner. I asked if we could have the table if they did not arrive and the host said yes. We were then seated on the patio outside of the main dining area. The table I politely requested sat open for 45 minutes and the second window seat next to it opened just after we sat down and also sat open for over an hour and a half. The host refused to seat us at either window table, even while they sat open during the entirety of our dinner. The service was very slow, the food was average as far as sushi goes, and the overall experience was terrible. Previous reviews have mentioned the arrogance of the host, and I have to concur. He could have easily sat us at either of the window tables, it would have meant the world to my daughters, and I, but he did not. It is truly the opposite of customer service. We have dined at many exceptional restaurants in Nantucket, including the SeaGrille, The Chanticleer and Cru. Honestly, the service at the Brotherhood of Thieves where we dined casually the evening before was exceptional compared to Lola41.
This is one of the nicest bistros on Nantucket.
The food is amazing and consistently wonderful. The atmosphere is fun, upbeat, and sophisticated. We sat at the bar, Herman and Cuz was very attentive and engaging. I love the interactions I have at the bar with staff and patrons alike. This is a must visit while on Nantucket. Our family of 10 visit every time we are on Nantucket. Knowing that LoLa 41 will be open this winter is the best news.
Diners beware! The service was poor and the food was
Diners beware! The service was poor and the food was interesting. They tried to double charge us but fortunately it was caught in time. Just be careful if you dine here so many other great restaurants on Nantucket Islandโผ choose wisely.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Lola 41 Nantucket at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Lola 41 Nantucket page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Lola 41 Nantucket to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Lola 41 Nantucket!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
