Lolinda's First Communal Asado Dinner
$25.00 per person
Prepaid
May 1, 2025 only
NOTE* The Asado Dinner is $48++ per person. An additional $23 per person will be collected at the restaurant at the time of your reservation. The $25 prepayment serves as a deposit and will be credited towards your bill. 20% gratuity is required. We’re firing up the grill for Lolinda’s first-ever Communal Asado Dinner—an intimate, fire-kissed feast celebrating the bold flavors of Argentina. With just 14 seats at our communal table, this is your chance to experience what Lolinda is all about—at a killer price. The evening begins with a welcome spritz to toast new friends and good food. We’ll ease into the night with our Ensalada de Palmito—hearts of palm, gem lettuce, avocado, and a bright jalapeño-lime dressing. Next, enjoy flaky, golden Empanadas de Queso y Cebolla, filled with caramelized onions and melty por salut cheese. Then comes the heart of the meal: the Asado—a wood-fired celebration of chorizo, morcilla, vacio (flap meat), and ojo de bife (ribeye), paired with grilled peppers, housemade chimichurri, and grilled bread—served with a glass of wine to round it out. On the side, we’re serving Rescoldo—charred and marinated eggplant, garlic, onions, and peppers, roasted low and slow in the embers. For dessert, indulge in tender Alfajores, filled with rich dulce de leche. Come hungry, come sociable, and take your seat at the table. This one-night-only experience is your chance to explore the soul of Lolinda—flavorful, fiery, and unforgettably shared.

I rarely write reviews but I cannot recommend this restaurant. Our Cava and Brut Rose was flat, the salad was mushy and just not good, the broccolini was hard to cut into with a steak knife because it wasn't cooked. We didn't eat it beyond one bite. Our server was inexperienced but very nice -- the staff needs training. We paid as soon as we could and left. I woke up at 2:30 am with an excruciating stomach ache and was sick from this dining experience. I booked this because of its "exceptional" rating on Open Table. Doesn't stand up to this rating. We will not be back.
