| - Michael Symon, you REALLY rock!! My second time here, once for happy hour and once for a romantic date night with my boy.
Let's start with saying this restaurant is so unique in that it's a perfect atmosphere for happy hour with friends and a romantic dinner date with your S.O.s (significant others). Around 6pm, this place is crowded with young professionals looking to hang out and suddenly at night, it transforms into this candlelight dinner place.
Happy Hour: Mussels and 1/2 mac & cheese. YUM YUM YUM. Great amount of mussels for the price and a unique flavor for the mac & cheese. BANG FOR YOUR BUCK, definitely. The martini is also delicious!! Totally worth it.
Dinner: Maple Glazed Pork Belly, Duck Confit, and Porcini Crusted Sirloin. If I had to rank the three, it would be: Duck Confit, Porcini Sirloin, then Pork Belly.
I wasn't huge on the pork belly only because I wished the pork was tender throughout instead of having the sides of the pork be alittle crusty (though it was intended that way). My bf though, loved the pork belly.
Sirloin: my only negativeness of it was that the sides of the sirloin were a bit too crusted and a tad overcook. But the middle slices of the sirloin were soooooo good i was devouring my dish! The duck confit was amazyingggg... the meat was so tender it came off the duck so easily. In addition, it was a good amount of duck meat.
Because of how much I loved Lolita, I'm excited to try Lola's now!!
Michael Symon, thanks for a great experience! Now, go open more restaurants in Cleveland!!!
