Lolita Fort Point

We had long been meaning to come to this place and finally made it for a birthday dinner last night. Let 's start at the start the place does not show up properly in all maps and since it is a walk along the river, there is no easy way to get a car near it, so perhaps those directions need to be clearer. Having said that, the walk on a covered walkway from the bridge along the river to the restaurant is pleasant. The doors are old style, large framed. The place does look a lot darker than you can imagine or are led to believe. ID got checked at the door not sure why we had not ordered any drinks yet. But it was a pleasant interaction even with some banter. The front desk got us a table earlier than the one we had booked, it was also a Monday night. We were seated on a table and I noticed they were very close together. We are all normal sized adults and we had to squeeze and excuse our way into the other side of the table from both sides. They are also really close to the bench side, so you have to sit down and slide along. Our table had the missing skull and roses while all other tables had them. Since we wanted that iconic representation on our table too, for photos it was a birthday dinner! , we made the mistake of asking our server. Her answer was someone stole it from this table and hence we do not have it . There were several tables empty around the restaurant and I am sure they do not have the exact number of these as tables! This should have been our clue that the service was going to be shoddy. The menu is good, we had an ample variety for our various dietary needs. The flourish in the beginning with the palate cleanser a smoking bowl of grapefruit slushie with a topping of some Agave liquer was visually good and tasty. We knew the portions were small and we are not huge eaters, so we ordered enough for ourselves. Everything was tasty, portions were small not much to say about that. Service? The server did not once come to check on us, nor offer us any water topup, walking by plenty of times and coming to the tables next to us several times but turned away from us . So getting the attention in the noisy place was near impossible unless I stood up or shouted or stuck out a leg or something. We had to ask different people for water twice in the time we were there. The check came in, was pleasantly reasonable probably because we did not order any drinks this time. The check came after ages and no one came to pick it up for ages too. The candy floss that comes at the end was topped with a candle in it !!!!! for birthday. Our neighbouring table got a little cupcake with a candle for the two women who were clearly celebrating a similar event. What can you do? All in all, if any management is ever reading this, get more pleasant people and improve the service. You seem to have plenty of feedback saying so. Go to your local retail grocery shop or a cafe and you will get better service than this place.

Lolita Fort Point, a sparkling gem nestled at 253 Summer Street, serves a compelling blend of fusion Mexican cuisine in a picturesque location by the river. It boasts a 3.75-star food rating, with tasty dishes paired exquisitely with a splendid selection of house cocktails. The décor is stunning, and the ambiance, elevated by lively music, adds a vibrant layer to the dining experience. However, be prepared for an at-times long queue; weekend reservation is recommended.Overall 4/5Food: 3.75/5; Service: 3.5/5, Ambiance: 4.5/5, Cleanness:4/5What truly sets Lolita apart is its dual dining areas. Though both indoor and outdoor settings have their unique charm, the outdoor area, with its river bar, is my personal favorite. It encapsulates the allure of summer in Boston perfectly.Remember to carry your ID for an uninterrupted experience. Lolita Fort Point is indeed a delightful summer getaway, a fusion of elevated Mexican gastronomy and vivid atmosphere.

Always a good time at Lolita’s. Their cocktails have been on point most of the times but this time round I found the house margarita not quite up to standard. Just felt off. The ambience indoors is quite surreal bordering on the spooky if you really aren’t into skulls and red/black colour theme. Our waitstaff was very polite, attentive and helped us with our ordering while we got a little too confused. Make sure to get reservations or else you wouldn’t really be able to get a table during the weekends. We also checked out their patio which was quite full and considering it was a hot day out, our choice to stay indoors helped.

This was such an experience from the moment we walked down the stairs to the moment we left. Sitting right on the water getting patio seating is difficult but that was expected. Reservations inside are required especially during the evenings I would recommend on a Thursday. The vibe is dark and gloomy but not too much, music is on point makes you want to dance! Service was incredible with the start of a pallete cleanser and finished with complementary cotton candy treat it was fun. Dishes were small and delicious. Highly recommend!

This was probably the most beautiful restaurant I have ever been to. The drinks and food were delicious. Our server David was so polite and on top of our every need. I will always go back every time I’m in the Boston area, and that’s a promise!Food: 5/5
