DINING
In Love with Lola
A Portland hot spot offers a simple approach to hospitality.
It's 7:40 on a Saturday night, and Bar Lola is hopping. A handful of thirtysomething diners are perched on the couches surrounding a low table in the entryway, jewel-colored cocktails in hand. At the bar, a hip older couple is sharing an array of dishes and chatting animatedly with the bartender.
In the chocolate brown dining room - a misnomer, really, since the three spaces are just artfully separated areas in one big room - the thirty seats are nearly full.
