I had my 40th birthday party at Lola Cocina in Crows Nest in early May. It was a great choice - I love the homely environment and music in this place and the separate eating areas, which make it ideal for hosting a special event! Rita was so helpful and accomodating, meeting me and my partner beforehand to talk about how we would like the event to be set up, what food we wanted and on the day, a large table was put together with a white tablecloth and it was nicely decorated. All the food was delicious, the waiters were lovely and Rita kindly made modifications to the menu for some of the guests (including me) who had dietary requirements with no fuss at all. I chose the $69 banquet menu for my 13 guests, which was good because you got a nice variety of food for everyone to enjoy! Also, we ordered a few jugs of traditional sangria - a must have!! Rita kindly let us stay till the restaurant closed, which was so generous - it was one of the best nights Ive ever had and one of my best birthdays!!! Thank you, Lola Cocina!

Slow service and confused staff. Took an hour to receive our order with no communication from staff as to why it was taking so long seeing as there were only a handful of customers. They kept having to check what we ordered and when the food arrived it was unpalatable. Warning: Do not order Paella Arroz Negra. It is tasteless mush and despite advertising it to be filled with black pudding, calamari, chorizo, king prawns and fresh seafood we could not distinguish any of those foods from the black amorphous blob that was presented to us. Im sure other menu items would be better but I dont want to take the risk. Will not be going back.
