text: Lola is one of my favorite, favorite places to eat in Phoenix -- the community tables offer fantastic footsie opportunities with your date, while still remaining seductively coy...\n\nThe waitress last night was an absolute delight.  Even though Lola's took my favorite tapas off the menu (the berenjena... anyone remember that?!) we went with the gambas and barcelona eggplant.  The gambas in particular were great, with dollops of paprika aioli at the bottom, which beautifully complimented the eggplant.\n\nExtra stars for getting THREE platters of free bread AND refills on the saffron mayonesa we requested for dipping -- that's something to love, for sure (ask for the saffron mayonesa at the begging of your meal, and they'll just keep bringing it).  \n\nDocking a star because 3/4 of the time I pop by, this delight is closed for some inexplicable reason.  However....\n\nCheck out their ladies room; the drawers in the 'decorative' dresser are filled with anything a sexy lady needs -- bobby pins, hair spray, mouth spray (which is slightly sketch, but after a garlicy date, you never know), and the best Burt's Bees hand lotion of my life.  It's worth supposedly 'oily' and 'tiny' food if you use the restroom's facilities...
