| - It's been so long since I was here, I forgot how good it was.
For starters, the chef's table is not worth it. Unlike Greenhouse and Crop Bistro, the chefs at Lola do not interact with you at all. Just sit at a table and enjoy conversation with your companions.
The Food:
Pig Ear Salad: Awesome dish, but I'd rather just be served the pig ear! Just gimmie the best part straight up!
Charcuterie Plate- Five stars, as always. No one does Charcuterie like Symon. It's chock-full of cured meats and pickled veggies. No cheese.
Foie Gras- It's delicious. Get over your moral reservations and just try it. It will melt in your mouth and excite your tastebuds. The BF says it tastes like duck butter.
Gnocchi- I wasn't impressed with this dish, but I also wasn't the person who ordered it! She LOVED it. The gnocchi were very light and delicate, the way they should be.
Sturgeon- The sauce made the dish. The fish wasn't spectacular, although it was cooked perfectly.
Venison- Cooked perfectly. Again, Symon knows what he's doing when it comes to meat. I couldn't have asked for a better venison dish. Not a star dish, but it's still awesome.
Calf's Heart- For the love of god, you HAVE to get this dish (once again, throw those morals out the window). One of the most tender, flavorful cuts of meat I've ever had the pleasure to sample. If you're worried about how it will look, you can rest assured that it just looks like any other cut of beef.
I may have had a very immoral dinner tonight, but hell tastes delicious.
