  • Nestled amidst an appropriately eclectic array of pubs, shoppes and other restaurants, in downtown Cleveland you'll find Lola, the brick and mortar baby of one Michael Symon, American Iron Chef, and its definitely worth checking into. I have sampled much of the fare Ohio has to offer since my arrival six weeks ago, and have been looking forward to experiencing Symon's menu. Just a week ago I was bummed to have arrived too late to enjoy the $5 plate happy hour offered at his other restaurant 'Lolita', but thanks to my open table app was able to snag the last 7pm reservation for two, and I highly recommend you do the same because this place certainly stays booked! Although I'm no stranger to that nagging voice inside that says "order everything!" I had to consider my virgin-palated companion at the time who tends to widen his eyes in terror at the thought of tasting things that conversely make me coo. So it was a no-brainer to start with the beef cheek pierogis (with mushrooms, creme fraiche) and I thoroughly enjoyed them and the fact that my friend appreciated them as well. The portion size was perfect for an appetizer and all the flavors well balanced, the bread was also made better once converted into a sauce sponge. While I was tempted to also order the lobster and crispy pig ears, I'm perfectly pleased with the duck who gave its life to adorn my dinner plate. Neatly sliced and crowning another perfect portion of spatzle, currants and a delicious sauce, the little quacker did not disappoint. My buddy shared a piece of his hangar steak, tastey but far heavier than I'm ever in the mood for. I washed everything down with a glass of Tedechi (pinot grig?) and profusely thanked and complimented our waitress for her knowledgeable assistance and attentive service. Ive decided that Cleveland is worthy of another visit (when its guaranteed to be above 65* outside) and Lola/Lolita will be high on my list of dinners to enjoy. My only reasons to withhold one star? I simply havent tried enough! And I agree with a previous comment that prices seemed a tad disproportionate to all the other fine foods I've enjoyed in the area. Alas, I didnt have to pay for the meal so it didn't bother me one bit! Enjoy your time and don't forget to share your 'food porn'!
