In Cleveland, the one thing we do best is... lose at major league sports. However, what we do even better is drink and dine like champions. Lola is at the forefront of the Cleveland Culinary scene along with the Zack Bruell, Douglas Katz and Jonathon Sawyer restaurants. Michael Symon brought in the first championship this city has seen in a long time, by winning the Next Iron Chef competition in 2007.
I've been here a dozen times or more so can't believe I'm just writing this now. I take out-of-town guests here, if they are guests that I like. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. In my opinion though, he does meat best. Notable dishes: beef cheek pierogy, crispy pig ear, roasted bone marrow, pork chops, and rib eye steak are all very good eats. Last but not the least, get the 9AM special for dessert, which, in and of itself, deserves it's own landmark.
