  • Picture this. It's a Saturday in high summer. I've swept my BFF away from her husband and two young children for a concert at the Q. She had an armful of recommendations by people she knew, and I had been slavishly checking Yelp. We both agreed that Lola's was worth a go, but what to do when all tables were booked when she called up a few days ahead? We decided to cool our heels at another bar a few doors down before I caught a good buzz off of my whiskey sour and got the wherewithall to slip over to Lola's and ask if there was any possibility they could slip us in. Success! The hostesses were very nice about it and took my name, so I dashed back to the other bar, collected my friend (after we paid our tab, of course...we aren't shady ladies), and came back to get seated. Now, I must admit that I wasn't prepared for the fanciness. Thankfully, we were both dressed for the occasion, but I just didn't realize it was as high-fallutin' as it was until we checked out the menu and I saw the likes of "bone marrow". I looked around and saw everyone from couples on a date to group dinners to gal pals like us. The atmosphere was rather dark, but not distractingly so. They have an open kitchen that you can be seated near to watch the action. Overall I'd say the atmosphere was hip without being hipster (there is a difference), and definitely a place for grown-ups. My friend got the steak and fries with a light beer (can't take the Pittsburgh out of a girl even when she's in Cleveland, I guess), and I the scallops and a couple of cocktails. We shared the fries that came with her meal--which totally had me at "duck fat"--and I don't think we even finished them because there were so many. I had a piece of her steak, she one or two of my scallops, and life was perfect. Nothing like date night with your best friend of almost 20 years when you're finally old enough to afford something fancier than TGI Fridays. We finished our perfect meal with desserts. I can't remember what mine was called exactly,but it had some pretty flashy stuff like "milk foam" (not the cappuccino kind, but the molecular gastronomy fancy kind) and a blondie brownie involved...it was delightful. Our server was on point too. I would have no qualms about coming back here any time.
