When will LoLa 41's new location near Fifth Ave. S. in Naples open? Here's what we know
Popular in Palm Beach, Nantucket and Boston (where it's known as LoLa42), LoLa 41 is readying for a March debut in downtown Naples, according to one of its Palm Beach staffers.
The first location opened in Nantucket circa 2006.
LoLa is a cute acronym for longitude latitude; 41 represents the specific parallel lending inspiration to LoLa's eclectic menu and decor.
Global cuisine is the game, here
A peek inside revealed fun chandeliers dripping with mother-of-pearl-tinged capiz sea shells and roomy banquettes near the window. Plastering and finishes are in progress, with a stucco-like wall in deep coral.
"The countries and regions have influenced all aspects of the restaurant that the 41st parallel crosses through, from our decor and atmosphere to our culinary delights and bar libations," is how the website describes it.
Global cuisine is the game here, ranging from Japanese-inspired Wagyu and sushi to Mediterranean crudos plus burgers. Wines and sakes also tap into the 41st parallel theme.
And according to its Facebook page, LoLa's new location is in hiring mode.
LoLa 41 is a block from Fifth Avenue South at 560 Ninth St. S.
