Came here for a work trip (yay expense account) and opted for Lolita instead of Lola so I could try more things. I will say upfront that I had very high expectations since he is an Iron Chef and I was slightly disappointed. Here's the rundown:
Awesome Happy Hour...if you sit at the bar, they have quite a decent menu with lots of $5 items. I wish I would've been there with someone else because I would've ordered one of everything! But I digress...
I tried: mussels and homemade chorizo...excellent.
Arugula, goat cheese and pickled onion salad...decent, but really salty
Pappardelle with rabbit, pancetta, mushrooms and ricotta salata...sounds like a ridiculously tasty combination, doesn't it? Well, again it was too salty and the rabbit was totally overdone. It wasn't tender and sort of dry.
If I was ever back in town, I'd definitely go back...everyone has an off nite. But maybe I'd try Lola first.
