This is one of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time. The atmosphere is so peaceful. The staff is wonderful, and the food is fantastic. All the great flavors of every dish I had were amazing! We went for brunch, but I can't wait to try dinner!

Had a gorgeous meal last night. Especially loved the eggplant dish because it proved how delicious eggplant can be! The Serrano ham and manchego with roasted red peppers, beets and carrots, and drinks (loved the Vermouth sour) were all beautifully prepared and shared. Really hope this neighborhood spot sticks around a long time!

We had a wonderful meal last night. We started with the fried goat cheese with honey . Delicious!! We also had the chicken thighs. Crispy and the sauce was yummy. The lamb mixed grill is lamb three ways and it three kinds of delicious. We ended with the churros and chocolate pudding. A perfect ending!

I love this restaurant and there are certain go-to plates that I always order, which never fail. This time my husband and I went a little adventurous and ordered some of the new seasonal entrees. The fried eggplant was incredible, but the prawns were overpriced (4 shrimp sized for $15), overcooked, didn't have much flavor, the chickpeas really didn't go with the prawns, I couldn't taste the garlic or the tomato. However, despite the prawns, we love, love the restaurant, the service is always great, ambience is fantastic, and they keep it decently priced.

We love Mola. It was our third time and the experience has always been wonderful. We were greeted with a class of champagne (they actually read the Open Table reservation comments! and staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Food came out quickly without feeling rushed and was delicious. That fried goat cheese- heaven. Love to have a neighborhood place that is reasonably priced but still feels special going out to eat there. Looking forward to next time!
