This was my second time to Lola's and being a "Foodie" they once again met and exceeded my expectations. A couple of hours before my dinner reservation I called to ask if I could add three more people to what was a two person reservation. They were extremely accommodating I am sure that having an early reservation (6 pm) and... More

Regardless whether they have a celebrated chef, this is a great restaurant if you have a "foodie mentality" to eating out. Not many places hand you an iPad at the bar to help pick out drinks - nice touch. Good selection of wine, beer and speciality drinks. Dining area was upscale with a cozy ambiance. Service was spot-on and very... More

We had dinner at Lola to celebrate our anniversary, I wanted to try it for a long time so my husband surprised me that special day with this. Well, it was far from what we expected. I order oysters as appetizer and let me tell you that they were the smallest, skinniest oysters I have ever seen in my life.... More

We had a special occasion to celebrate on April 27th and Lola was the spot. Reservations are a must at Lola. We were seated immediately upon arrival at a table for 6 looking out onto 4th street. This was a bonus because people watching is sometimes almost as much fun as the dining experience and 4th street on a Saturday... More

Lola really is a fabulous restaurant. We experienced excellent service while we were there (thanks Megan), and enjoyed a lovely dinner with wine recommended by the staff. We weren't disappointed. It was delightful. We will definitely go back next time we find ourselves in Cleveland.
