We went to Lola during lunch one day and it was a lovely restaurant. It looked very modern and still welcoming. I've lived in Cleveland about a year and I've noticed that the foodie bug has bitten- and how! It's neat that so many places around town take good food and unique dining SERIOUSLY!
My coworker had a grilled cheese that looked very good. I can't recall what the other woman we ate with ordered. The bread we were served was delicious. I had mac and cheese (not actually made with macaroni). It included chicken. I'm a bit picky about chicken. I'm almost certain it was dark meat- I hate that!
I immaturely picked out the chicken and ate just the cheesy pasta. It was really very tasty, however; I don't think it was anything unique. Perhaps I should have tried a different dish to get a taste of something more indicative of the chef's style? The price was decent for lunch. I think mine was about $15 and my lunch mates spent about the same. I think it was a bit much for what I had, but; a decent price for those looking to experience dining at a place created by a celebrated, famous chef- it's not a bad price.
I also must say that I'm quite certain that I am not a foodie and prefer eating a different sort of food. I hate most things fusion and tend to enjoy much more simple things. For people who are into stuff like that Lola is a good choice.
