  • So many complaints about this over priced place. I had high expectations for a Michael Symon restaurant and was really looking forward to our dinner at Lola. Unfortunately it was one big let down. For starters, our table was nice but one side was a booth. There was a giant slash in the seat and it was "patched" in clear packing tape. You'd think for a place that's an easy $100 a head, they could afford to take the time and effort to fix their seating. Service was by no means great or even good. The person who poured our waters sloshed it all over the place and on one glass spilled it everywhere but never said anything or came back with a napkin or towel to clean it up or dry it off the menu. Just turned around and left. It was bizarre. Our waiter didn't seem to know much and couldn't make recommendations, never mentioned that dinners didn't come with any sides or recommend a side to us when we placed our orders. Service was also incredibly slow. For the food. We started off with bone marrow and a charcuterie plate. Charcuterie plate had no cheese and most was taken up with fried pork rinds. I didn't eat anything off of it so I can't say if it was good or not. The bone marrow was soooo greasy. They take marrow, bread it, then fry it. It comes out in weird fried clumps. I've only seen marrow served in the bone. This seemed an odd way to prepare it by adding more grease to an already greasy dish. The marrow combined with the over oiled grilled bread just made for a huge grease fest. I ordered the ribeye for dinner. That's all I got, just a huge slab of red meat. Again, the waiter could have recommended a vegetable side and I'd gladly have ordered one had it been pointed out to me. My steak was cooked perfectly but incredibly greasy. I couldn't eat the majority of it. All my friends and coworkers can gauge either my health or the quality of my food if I ever leave steak uneaten. For the most part, that never happens. Here however, I couldn't bring myself to keep eating my dinner purely because of how greasy the meat was. Another person at our table ordered scallops and ended up leaving his dinner uneaten too. He said the scallops were "gritty" and overall it just wasn't very good. None of us were impressed with our meals and for a $700 dinner, we should have at least found the food good enough to finish. I think this is another case of a chef banking on his celebrity status and too many over hyped reviews by people who want to like it because they want to like whatever Michael Symon is dishing out.
