Lolita's tucked away in a real quiet area of Cleveland but the first thing I noticed when I set foot in was the comforting ambiance. There were plush benches with pillows and just the overall atmosphere made for an intimate setting. I was impressed with the service but we were also only one of 3 tables during happy hour which was surprising. I started w/ the beta drink which was a vodka infused w/ ginger which tasted really clean and went down easy. However, happy hour food specials were very mediocre. The best of the 5 was the mac & cheese w/ chicken which alone, I would've given 4 stars to. But the others fell short of expectations: the burger had a great concept (served w/ bacon, a fried egg, aged cheddar, and onions over an english muffin) but the meat was really uneven and extremely dry in spots. One bite would be "hmm good, cheddar really kicked in and the onions provide some juice." But others left me wondering if this was the driest burger I've ever eaten - not a good sign. The brussel sprouts were surprisingly tasty - fried and served w/ anchovies. The mussels were very boring and the ricotta dip was a challenge to finish b/c it was so tasteless. I wanted to like Iron Chef Michael Symon's place but it just did not live up to expectations. Maybe it was because he was on his book signing and the kitchen lacked his talent. Nevertheless, we had a good time and it's a serviceable happy hour spot especially since it seems that not many ppl go during that time.
