Text - This review is based on happy hour and appetizers. \n\nI had never been to Lolita's before, but was there because of a Rock 'n Roll wine tasting event. After sampling the wine, my friend and I decided to grab a bite to eat. We entered the main dining area and were immediately seated. Our server, Aidin, approached us and recommended that we try their happy hour menu since we still had 30 minutes left. \n\nWhile we waited on our order we got chips, bean dip and salsa. I thought the salsa was ok, but the black bean dip and chips were great. We ended up ordering the Mini Tacos and Dynamite Beef Taquitos. The tacos were truly \""mini\"" but delicious! And we ordered a second plate. The taquitos were also really good and came with a few dipping sauces. \n\nHonestly, I am a little surprised to see how low the ratings are for Lolita's (I didn't look at them before I went.) Our waiter was great, the service was fast, and the atmosphere was fun. Overall the food was great and the happy hour pricing made it worthwhile.

Text - What was I thinking?! \n\nI worked on New Year's Eve, but since Madison bars stay open late that night, I was able to go party with the best of 'em after midnight. Er. Take that back. The crowd at Madhatters (or, Hatters, as my Australian friends call it) was decidedly greasy and undergrad, and it's the first time I've gone to a bar and felt OLD. When we first arrived at the door, we couldn't even get in. Hatters? Full? That is, until a few of the Badger Basketball players showed up, towering above us, pushing me over and plying the door guy with a $1 bill, asking if that would \""get us all in\"".\n\nWhy two stars and not just one little guy? Well, everybody did pretty much just keep to themselves and their own on-coming hangovers. And someone bought us a few \""cows\"" (Spotted Cow). And I was mildly entertained by the guys who kept running into the foosball table. Ouch! Happy New Year, Madison!

Text - I was pretty excited to eat here after hearing such good things, but - eh... nothing special about the pastrami here.  It's super salty and the pastrami sandwich actually has bacon mixed in with the pastrami.  Normally I'm all for bacon, but it didn't bring anything to the party.  It (bacon) wasn't crisp, didn't have a great flavor and the sandwich probably would have been better without it.  \n\nMy comrads weren't happy about how long it took to get the food.  I didn't mind relaxing outside in the sun, but there ended up being A LOT of people waiting for their orders so if you're dying of hunger, best to go some place else.\n\nWon't be going back here.  After 4 hours, I'm officially in my, \""Crappy Lunch Depression.\""

Text - Curiousity!  Yes I've been curious about this place, then I read Nicole W.s  review and decide (especially since it is on my way home) I'll try this place out!  \n\nThey have fixed up the Exterior of this place since I was here last (when it was an Indian Restaurant) and I really like how it looks on the outside.  The Inside is Wow fixed up, Nice looking.  They had the play list going on too.  From Asian Dance (Club Music) to Adel.  Nice Ambiance! \n\nStill skeptical about the food I got Jasmine Tea.  Cool looking mug, though the Tea was too weak, lacked flavor and I'm not here for the Tea.  \n\nBeef Satay with peanut sauce came out next and just from the looks of the Beef and sauce and the presentation I was almost sure I'd be a Fan of this place.  One taste and WOW!  Nice Beef! !  !  Great flavor the seasoning was mild and perfect!  The Peanut sauce tasted like what I used to fix for my young cousins who loved it on hamburgers (the Adults told me these kids would not like peanut sauce).  This Peanut Sauce is the kind I like:  Thin, so it sticks to everything, yet not so thin that it has that watered down consistency - the flavor is a little more complex than most: peanuty for sure, soy, a little hot pepper and probably, lemon and sugar (my guesses).  Garnished with Red Onion (always a nice touch) and enough Greens that it was a Salad!  This Appetizer gets an Easy 5 yelp stars!\n\nThe Entree selections were much more intriguing than most Asian Restaurants and I thought if I like the Entree as much as the Appetizer, I'll be back.  I decided on the Basil Trio:  Stir Fried Thai Basil, Beef, Shrimp and Chicken with Squash, Green beans, Red Onions and Peppers with a small amount of spiciness add (my request), served with Rice!  This dish get 4.5 yelp stars!\n\nAfter a Great meal like that I want to finish it with a mind blowing Dessert... The Dessert menu told me to be happy and go home or go somewhere else for Dessert.  As a rebellious act I stayed and ordered everyone of the Desserts as I've been known to do on more than two occasions and not that any occasion need to be a last meal on Earth Occasion, I told you I already eat like this ALL the Time!  On this occasion I did only order ONE dessert and it was not the right one.  See my photo for more details and since most of you are not going to eat Dessert here, I recommend this place and will return soon!

Classify the following: Oh my shaky knees.\n\nRaspberry rugalah that's not too fruity and melts in your mouth.\nPignoli (that's pine nut cookies) with rich almond flavor and chewy in the middle.\nCream puffs bigger than your fist.\nAnd like the other review said, lots more!\n\nYou'd think you died and went to bakery heaven.  I'm really picky when it comes to cookies, but I can't stay away from these.  I bought a naughty box for myself yesterday.  \n\nMine, all mine!
