In the restaurant week of Cleveland 2012, 6 of we went to Lola for lunch. They have this $15 "Symon says" lunch combo special and 5 of us order it. We sit next to the open kitchen.Frankly, it is too "open" and there is nothing between me and the stove. After one hour lunch, I had a fever.
Beef cheek Pierogi is delicious, covered with mushrooms and horseradish creme fraiche. The dish is well plated and the flavor is well balanced.Although, I would prefer a little more crispy. The side dish is Mac & Cheese with excellent roasted chicken and goat cheese. At the end, I had BACON (I say again: BACON!) maple ice cream. Yum!!
Overall ,it was only $15, which was really nice deal. Despite the uncomfortable seating, I would like to go more for the nice food.
