Glad I was able to try this restaurant and sample the Michael Symon experience. Having tried Lolita I had high hopes for Lola. Can't say that I'll go back however. The food was good, I guess I was expecting more. I was surprised it wasn't more flavorful. Sauces and broths lacked the extra punch I thought this restaurant would have. Tried the beef check pierogi as everyone suggested, just nothing special. Had the cioppino which had huge mussels and squid which was great, again the broth just really lacked the flavor I was hoping for. Tried the s'more dessert which looked great from all the pictures, and it was good, just not great. Decor creates a cozy environment. Loved the glass behind the bar that allowed us to see through to the wall of wines behind it. Great environment. But I don't feel the need to go back. I'll stick to Lolita instead
