Lolita's Wine Market - Wine bar in Saint Petersburg, United States
Good. But not the same as it use to be. Darker, curt, still good, but no longer great.
This place is incredible and worth all off the hype. We did the build your own charcuterie board and had some small plates and everything was phenomenal. Our waiter had some great wine recommendations, as well!
Literally the best charcuterie board I’ve ever had. Wonderful service. Great curated wine selection. Cozy, intimate atmosphere.
Took my friends and they loved loved it. The food is fabulous. Marlow is so knowledgeable about wine...but ask her about gin. Sunny our server was engaging and attentive
Extremley overpriced. All of their bottles have an insane upcharge. Better off buying the same bottle at publix for $50 cheaper. They strategically dont have any prices on their menu when doing a tasting.
Fantastic experience, worth the wait. We came in on a Friday for date night, it was around 7 PM so of course there was a wait, we were 8th in line and were sat close to 8 PM. We had heard such great things so we were very excited to be there. We selected s few plates, the dates, the ahi tuna, the paella, short rib, and the ricotta jar. Everything was very tasty but I would strongly recommend to try the dates and the paella, for sure! We also had a few different wines, I mean it is called a wine market, and none disappointed. The staff was very friendly and suggested wines that were absolutely enjoyable. All in we got a $140 tab, ad thats with 6 glasses of wine, fantastic value! Considering this was a 45 minute drive for us, wed do it again, no doubt.
Met up with a couple of friends here in 4/16/22. Initially it was just two people, but two more friends joined a little late, but the hostess was graciously accommodating.We got a charcuterie board and a few small plates. The board with the cheeses, jams and bread was absolutely delicious! And small plates were also very good.The wine selection is vast. Can’t recall what exactly we got but it was very good.Overall a great experience and would definitely be returning soon!Update: came back on St pete pride 20222, And OMG I’m fully content. Everything we got were sooo good.
Supporting this business should be criminal when the owner steals tips from ALL THE SERVERS who already barely get by...Great business practices lol.
A place where you feel you have to try the whole menu: that good. And yes, they have great wine to compliment.
Comfy & cozy interior. Great service and selection of wine. Great spot for ladies or date night
This place is awesome! Theres a little bar right when you walk in where youll be asked what kind of wine you like and youll get tastes of various wines until you like one. The food is so good! We had the whipped ricotta and the Italian board. Highly recommend both. Dylan was our server and he was both hilarious and attentive.
Great service, great wine and food (vegan options), and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!
Staff is incredible, food is incredible! Highly recommend!!!
One of the best paella Ive had. The shrimp, scallops and mussels were cooked to perfection, the rice el dente and the sauce light, fragrent and tasty. As always the charcuterie was a delicious blend of cheeses meats and accoutrements. Although delicious and balanced the beet salad was a little skimpy on beets and salad. As always a delightful experience with a lovely staff friendly and accomodating.
Like omg... been going here for a few years... not so sure about the new seating thingy but the food made it all better. Love love this place. Eat my children. Just order it all and enjoy.Let me drop my wine glass..😘
Kelly and her staff catered my daughters post wedding brunch, and it truly was one of the highlights of the wedding weekend. The servers and bartender were friendly, efficient, and fun. The food was phenomenal. The guests are still talking about it. From the very get-go, she told me that I didnt have to worry about a thing, and I didnt. My only regret is that I dont have another wedding brunch for her to cater.
Best a la carte charcuterie in the area!!!! Top quality and great concept. Very friendly staff and clean place! Must go!
We used Lolitas catering services for our wedding day cocktail hour and it was amazing!! Lolitas was great to work with while planning out what we wanted and made great suggestions based on our budget/needs. Weve been to Lolitas for dinner several times and loved it, so it felt like a no brainer to use them for a mega version of that at our wedding! So delicious and highly recommend going to Lolitas for dinner or your next catering needs! Thank you!
Great little spot. Choices of charcuterie was broad and great quality. Ceviche was very tasty.
Probably my favorite restaurant in St. Pete. Everything is delicious and I’ve tried a lot of the menu. Must try the ricotta jar and paprika almonds. Also love the new lentil jar! Take out is just as good and you get a discount on wine! They also are great at answering questions on their wines and can select wines for you based on your tastes. Restaurant has a fun and relaxed vibe. I hope they stay around forever!!
Love this place, very nice selection of wine and the food very creative and delicious!
Got a box to go for our anniversary and it was perfect! Size, quality, and variety at a very reasonable price for the quantity.Definitely will be going back!
What a great hidden gem to run in to! Awesome wine tasting and tapas options. Our server Mandy was amazing and so knowledgeable! Such a cool little spot! The food was exceptional! A must try for sure!
I wanted to try this place for my wedding anniversary as I heard great things about this place. Cozy, authentic inside. An unwelcoming and irritated hostess with snobby attitude hostess turned us away for sure. Review your staff’s daily mood please. I just regret that I didn’t let her know about how she made the newcomers feel that evening of 4/14/22. I totally understand how busy the places get lately and hospitality is not an easy industry but the tone of the voice, fascial expressions, the energy of the person can tell you a lot.And why does the hostess have to do wine tasting and take care of greeting and sitting the others at the same time??? Two different jobs.
This is by far one of the rudest places I have ever been. Our server was amazing and the hostess was immediately rude to us and several other people. She talked poorly about one couple that came in after us to other guests then was rude to us when we came in with a baby (sleeping). We had called ahead the day before to make sure this was allowed. Meanwhile three couples that came in after were sat before us.Once we sat down our server (malewas amazing and very nice. The hostess towards the end came back and I told her that I wanted additional items and paid for them. I soon as I paid she told us we could take them and sit out side with our baby (still sleeping!as other guests were waiting. Meanwhile the guests both to our left and right had been there before us. I then told her to give my money for the additional items to the server (I never got to touch them). I truly hope he goes somewhere else or that management does something about how horribly nasty all the hosts were to us with our $200+ bill. (Ps if anyone that actually cares & reads these. She was Caucasian with a nose ring). The host that ask us to give up our table was different but I could see the one with the nose ring was the one that told her to rush us.
The new Wine tasting spot in the front as you walk in is genius! It takes this restaurant from 2 Stars to 5 in my book. Before it seemed crowded and the staff weeded. You would wait for service quite some time. Now you walk in, get a wine, and chill on the beautiful furniture. You immediately relax and enjoy the vibe. Well done Lolitas !
They have to get their act together when it comes to the front door tastings. Not welcoming. not streamlined. More like a Charlie Foxtrot. Our party of 8 were served meals/boards that came out one at a time. It seemed as though they had one person creating in the kitchen. Very VERY slow. The wine pours? The wait staff does not work well with the front door staff. IS THAT ON PURPOSE? When our glasses were empty they were offered to be re filled immediately so when I said the director of operations opened a bottle for us so well go ahead with that (we hadnt seen a menu on entry and had no idea what we were eatinghe said ok, yes brought the bottle to our table showed it to us and then charged us BY THE GLASS $72 for a $38 bottle. I politely asked for adjustment but was refused, with some lame unprofessional explanation. Look at my restaurant review track record. Im no newbie to this business. Food? 4 stars. Customer relations? 0. I have a feeling they wont be here too long. Too much competition in the Burg.M
Seriously can never turn down an opportunity to go to Lolita’s. Best wine tasting experience in town but honestly the appetizers will keep you coming back for more. Swoon.
Walked in before a group of 4 and was pushed off while the other party was happily greeted.Wine tasting was offered to other party and while I asked about the tasting was never given a glass. Will not be back and have been eating here since they opened.
Perfect couples escape from the madness on NYE. The fixed priced menu was an incredible amount of gourmet samplings. The wine pairings were very good for those with a broad palette, perhaps a little too dry up front for some and too sweet later towards desserts but it all made sense, good pours and good choices to fill any gaps felt. Well definitely be back. Great Escape from the kids.
There charcuterie board is absolutely amazing!!! Please try there ricotta, I had no idea that ricotta could be that AMAZING!!!
Very disappointed. The charcuterie was the only good experience here. I ordered the paella and the clams had not been purged so I got a mouth full of grit (sand). But the worst part was being asked to get up from our table (After ordering a full bottle of wineso others could sit, which would have been fine until I realized there was no one waiting for our table 🤬. So we stood trying to hurry and finish our wine rather than getting to enjoy it and our date night. Server was very rude! Also not a good wine experience. The lady at the front was not up to date on their wine inventory. Asked for grenache and was given cabernet even though they have grenache. Just a horrible experience all the way around.Not a place for a mid to high-end wine connoisseur.
Wow! What a gem. The “Google” said they had one of the best chartutterie boards in St. Pete so we tried it for a b-day celebration. It lived up to its reputation. Everything from the wine, cheese, meats to the small plates and customer service were superb.
I love Lolitas so much. The staff is always so friendly and kind. The wine selection is huge and the staff will help you find the best fit. The food options were awesome and delicious!
I absolutely LOVE Lolitas. The BEST charcuterie in St. Pete. Service is always good. It’s amazing to me how tiny the kitchen area is, yet how consistently good the food is! Also, the wine selection is great and won’t break the bank! Thank you, Lolitas! <3
Lolita’s is always my go-to place for charcuterie and wine, hands down. It can get a little busy during peak hours since the place is pretty small, but the cozy atmosphere is a big part of the experience. Highly recommend for date night.
Oh my goodness!! I love this place!! Its a great atmosphere to dine with friends. Their food is thoughtfully prepared, delicious and beautiful!! I have been here many times and love taking someone who hasnt been yet!! They do a wonderful job serving and pairing your meal with a wine selection.
Nice cozy place with great ambiance.My husband and I were celebrated our anniversary tonight and wanted to try a place we had never been. We came across Lolita’s and though we would give it a try. we were beyond impressed. The staff was friendly and attentive which is always a plus. The food was so good, I am an avid cook and love complex flavors with beautiful colors and presentation so I’m kinda judgmental when it comes to restaurants but even I was impressed. This place is small and you would miss it if your not looking, but that would be tour loss. We did the “pizza box”which is the larger preselected Charcuterie and it was amazing it was way to much food for two people but we took food home and will be enjoying some for lunch tomorrow. I highly recommend this for a nice date night or gathering of a few friends they have a good wine selection and I will be coming back sometime in the near future.
Lolita’s never fails to bring a 5 star experience! My husband and I keep coming back to Lolita’s for date night for a variety of reasons - the ambiance is charming, the servers are friendly and fun, the wine is delicious without breaking the bank and the food is BOMB. Whether we’re in the mood to share small plates or go all in with a charcuterie board we never leave unsatisfied.When we go engaged Lolita’s was the ONLY place we considered for our rehearsal dinner. Kelly and Kaitlynd created a stunning 6 course small plate wine dinner that absolutely blew our guests away! We reserved the entire tasting room for our party and had fun mingling with our family before our big day. The team even created menus and set the table beautifully for us so all we had to bring was flowers for decor. I dare to say our rehearsal dinner was a highlight of our wedding weekend and exactly the vibe we were looking for!
Walked out for the first time yesterday. This is/was our favorite restaurant with great staff. The waitress we always have left but we decided to go cause we love the food. Well the service was horrific. We were sat... and waited 20 minutes before walking out. We weren’t offered water or a menu. Other staff saw us and continued on their way. Previously they’d help each other out. So... we will not be returning. Looking for a new favorite restaurant now.
Downtown St. Pete has plenty of good charcuterie options, but Lolita’s raises the bar. Their menu is extensive and they have really creative jams and jars. This is a must try if you are ever in the area!
Great service! Staff is knowledgeable in pairing you with the wine you will love. Delicious small plate menu. We got the short ribs over cheesy shells, the octopus, paella and the montaditos (regular, with manchego and with anchovyand enjoyed them all. Music selection was on point and ambience was chill. Would definitely return and recommend. The only down side is that there’s no outdoor seating, except for the rocking chairs out front.
We dine at Lolita’s tonight with our son and his girlfriend. We had an exceptional experience, we order the picnic pac and was very beautifully presented and delicious. From the cheeses, fruit, meats and jam, pickles corn nuts. It was all amazing and they suggested a wine to pair with it that made our experience wonderfully delightful. My husband and I are visiting our son and his girlfriend and next time we are in town we will be back. Thank you for a fun evening.Can’t wait for the next experience at Lolita’s
Great small plates place. The dates are one of the best small plates I have ever had! Ive been a few times now and each time I have not been disappointed. The food is great and the staff friendly/helpful. Little known fact, they open at 2pm on Sundays and there hasnt been a crowd at that time. This place is usually very busy with limited seating. So try them on a Sunday at opening!
Very small boutique wine and cheese eatery. Never the same menu. In fact, they make their menu daily. Good wine selection. Great service Expect a wait.
Looooove loooove love this place! Its small and can get crowded fast, but it will be worth the wait! Have a great time everytime we go there. In July we did their Wine dinner and it was sooo amazing! A bit pricey, but well worth it. Highly recommend!
Wonderful concept! Perfect for a date night and the food is absolutely phenomenal! The staff is also great. I’d recommend this place to anyone! The short rib mac n cheese is something to dream about!
One of my favorite brunch places in town. It’s small and quaint, the owners are always there working. Great staff also. Although for some the menu might seem limited, I think the food is very creative and I would eat everything on it...The only thing I would love is a cappuccino!!
First time here and Chelsea was a huge help. She is very knowledgeable about wines in stock and what to pair with. She actually opened 3 bottles to sample before we decided. She was knowledgeable about each of the wines and how they taste. Food portions were larger than expected and everything was incredible. Wonderful experience in a quaint spot right next to I-75 in St. Pete. Was worth the drive for sure! We will be back & will be adding to my must eat list in St.Pete.
Love this place! A wonderful addition to our neighborhood, love the ever changing menu items and that you make your own charcuterie board, leaves endless options. I am hoping to make it to one of the wine dinners soon!
