  • I have had just two experiences at Lola. One was 5-star worthy, and the other was 3. The first time, I went with a large group, and everything was fabulous. Our friendly and helpful waiter recommended a wine based on my tastes, and it was a smashing hit (so good, I don't remember what it was). Our food was all perfectly prepared and oustanding. We loved the 5 AM special (or 6 AM, whatever it is). The vibe was outstanding. We arrived early so that we could have a couple of cocktails to start, and if you don't do this, you miss one of the better parts of Lola, the super sexy bar. The elevated glass-enclosed wine room, the glowing marble bar top, and the attentive and attractive bar staff all make for a lovely cocktail experience. There was an energy to the place that was undeniable, and that made a great meal outstanding. On my second visit with my wife, this time just the two of us, we had a very "A-OK" meal. We did go during the "dining out in Cleveland" experience, but we ordered full-priced meals off the regular menu and expected a full-priced experience. What we got was the "dining out in Cleveland" reduced-price prix fixe experience, and it was certainly not up to the level of Michael Symon's reputation. Our server was distracted and slow, and our food was merely decent. I got the ribeye with salsa verde and a side of bone marrow and something else, and everything just tasted like fat. Really wonderful, velvety smooth, richly flavorful fat, but that's all I got out of it. The ribeye didn't need the help of the bone marrow. My wife got the hanger steak with pickle sauce, and said the pickle sauce was overwhelming and had to be scraped off. She's a pickle lover, too. Our experience wasn't bad at all... it just was nowhere near what we expected based on our first visit. We'll be back, and if it's another 4+ star evening, I'll chalk the bad night up to them being busy serving a bunch of people that wouldn't go without the cheap dining experience. That's not meant to sound snobby - check my other reviews. It's just the truth - the front and back of the house both have to be able to focus on a certain type of clientele, and if they are distracted by a special event or evening, it sometimes shows.
