My favorite restaurant of all time! I actually went to Lola for the first time back when it first opened during it's first few months in 2006. I loved it and was a bit sad bc I wasn't sure when the next time i'd be heading back out to Cleveland again.
Finally a few weeks ago I was able to return back to Cleveland for work to have another taste of Lola. Crazy thing is, I had the same exact waiter as my first time around. How do I remember this?! I guess you just can't forget exceptional service! Everything was amazing then and everything is amazing now.
In summary... here are the list of things I got...
- Appetizer - Pork Belly - can't go wrong with pork belly, ever.
- Entree - Smoked Berkshire Porkchops & a Duck special - perfectly cooked and super moist
- Dessert - The "6 a.m. Special" - brioche French toast, maple-bacon ice cream, caramelized apple. Bacon ice cream!!!!
So yummy!!! Michael Symon totally deserves his Iron Chef title!
