"There's a reason why Michael Symons and his restaurant Lola wins so many awards: he creates incredibly delicious, innovative dishes with the freshest ingredients. Tasting every dish was like trying a brand new experience; I could not wait to put food in my mouth and give my taste buds something new to explore! Admittedly, I came for the beef cheek pierogis, but I loved everything else we ordered more. The scallop ceviche was divine; the grain and stone fruit salad made with barley, farro, baby kale, peach and nectarines was unusual and delicious and something I could eat every day; Parisian Gnocchi was light yet flavored with king crab, clams, corn, and melt-in-your-mouth smoked pork, and the soup du jour was a creamy corn soup poured over crab. Chef Symons seasons his creations perfectly and with a light hand, allowing the natural flavors of quality ingredients shine through. Lola should be on your list of required places to go if you're ever in Cleveland. I know it's going on a few of my Yelp lists."^^ .
