Lolita's Wine Market - St. Petersburg

Wow! So impressed by my experience here! The presentation of every dish was spectacular, and the flavors were delicious to match! We started with the fire and ice ceviche, aptly named with a dry ice presentation and wonderfully refreshing citrusy flavors, with a little heat from the jalapeños and aji amarillo. Next up was the burrata, with sweet peaches, umami miso vinaigrette, and creamy frozen coconut milk. I recommend getting bread to soak up all the flavorful toppings! The carrots and watermelon dish had a great variety of flavors and textures and colors, with a hibiscus foam, creamy citrus yogurt, and crunchy spicy salsa macha. The eggplant dish was also a great combo of sweet and savory, with whipped goat cheese and pineapple date chutney. Finally, the tres leches dessert was creamy and not overly sweet, and presented in a half coconut! Our server was welcoming and helpful, and despite being such a small place the ambiance was nice and inviting. Can't wait to return!

10 out of 10 would recommend. Beyond the ambiance, hand curated charcuterie and cheese boards, and one of a kind wine selection, the energy from the staff and ownership just leave you wanting to come back for more. Always love to see and support a locally owned business but even more so when community and culture are at the heart of the vision. Definitely will be back WITH a reservation to enjoy the full dining experience Lolita’s has to offer.

Really enjoyed the experience overall. Beautiful outdoor seating. Tranquil settingFirst date experience was excellent though they were understaffed a bit on the patio. Dining room looks beautiful. Would love to come back for a dinner. It's right on the Pinellas trail so I'll bike there and stop for a glass of wine. They have a nice list including albariño and no-oak Chardonnay. It was their first week so the tiny flaws can be overlooked. Definitely try it.

Girlfriend and I had a fantastic experience going here for dinner in early April 2023. Initially went to just have a glass of wine and have some cheese because I read about it online, but the menu looked so good we ended up doing a whole spread.They start you off by giving you free tastings of wine so you can identify which wine you want to have at your table, which I thought was a nice touch. I had a fantastic white and red, the red being a Boneshaker Cabernet I believe.What really took us back was the quality of service and the portions of the food. Our waiter Ben was SUPER attentive throughout and made the whole experience memorable, giving us a lot of tips as tourists of places to go and things to do. The portions of the food were in my opinion immense for this kind of place, we got an Italian cheeseboard and added a jar of spicy pimento spread and an additional cheese/pate. Between my girlfriend and I, normally big eaters, we couldn 't finish the whole thing which was a lousy $40 or so all included. Tons of meats, cheese, really delicious fresh toasted ciabatta bread, spreads, the whole nine yards. Whole meal with multiple glasses of wine was under $100, felt like kind of a steal.Small and cozy, dimly lit venue, felt trendy. Definitely a hidden gem kind of establishment, highly recommend.

Had the special with this wine could eat that all day long and the wine was delicious too. Dillon was my server very nice. So now I've been there a few alright alot of times. Sunny has been my server and a young lady whom I'm sorry don't recall your name. The main chef I spoke to shared that he had gotten another position somewhere else because maybe move of location of restaurant. But wouldn't share where because of loyalty. Fabulous because the genre would probably be different. But I hope they keep alot of the regular menu... they can't go wrong also they push and promotion they are a wine market. And try and make you sit and wait in a wine section before you go and eat. I got it the money is probably made on wine sales. BUT I hope they realize they are a top notch restaurant as well. Can't afford the per bottle price. Can not go wrong going here!
