| - This restaurant is our go-to spot to take applicants who are visiting Cleveland for the first time. I mean, it's always fun to brag about Cleveland's own iron chef, and the food at Lolita is definitely worthy of bragging. It's more down to earth and hearty while Lola's food is more upscale and classy. To me, this also means that Lolita is cheaper and tastier. Their menu changes pretty frequently, but I have had pork chop, quail, duck, the pasta and many a seafood of the day here and they all taste pretty good.
Lolita loses a star for its service though. It seems that their waitstaff is chronically sluggish, and dinner sometimes takes upwards of 2.5 or 3 hours. Also, one time we ordered a bruschetta appetizer for the table (which, by the way, tastes fabulous), and we finished all but one, which we left on the plate. After an hour of waiting for our main courses, we prodded our waiter, who replied that he had not put in the orders for our main courses yet because we hadn't finished our appetizer. Really? A single piece of bread has been sitting in the middle of our table for an hour and you don't even care to ask if we were done?
