I love rick trumanto and his cuts of meat such as filet, strip, porterhouse etc. at lola my choices were between hanger flank, ribeye, and beef cheek. come on, lola i expected more. anyways the preparations were uninspired and the evenings food... more

This wekend was the second visit for us. We love Michael Simon and had a favorable experience the first visit. However, the food was so so at best. The couple who went to dinner with us was equally disappointed. All four of the entree's were average and certainly not up to IRON CHEF caliber! We will certainly check out some... more

I went here based on all the good reviews. I think friends of the owner must be writing the reviews. The steak I had was so bad. I looked for the owner but he has so much monry now he must not need to work. Please save your money and go somewhere else. more

My husband and I finally went to Lola's. The restaurant is really nice, I loved its modern and contemporary furnishing and dinnerware. The food, from entrees to main course were amazing, both in taste and presentation. i was expecting something more from the dessert list. The only thing to complain about was the service. Our waitress was clearly too busy... more

I have nothing but great things to say about my experience at Lola. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and very cozy and warm. The hostesses were great. We werent seated right away, but that was fine as the bar is spacious and who doesnt like a pre dinner cocktail!? We were seated within 10 minutes and our server was prompt.... more

Lola is fantastic! We had the best service and excellent food. I only picked it because of its high rating on Trip Advisor and I was not disappointed. Made an appointment on OpenTable so we got right in and had a private booth for the two of us. Even though there was a pre-Cavs game and Halloween night crowd there... more

My friend and I visited Lola while we were at a conference in Cleveland because we heard it was owned by an Iron Chef. It was wonderful. Our server was very personable and friendly, and made sure that every need we had was taken care of. Our water glasses were never empty, and when my friend (unknowingly) dropped her napkin... more

Simply a fantastic place to do it all. Great for a business dinner, a dinner with some one special or a even go with a group of friends for happy hour. Food is ranges from the different ethnic areas of Cleveland to the most eclectic meals an Iron Chef can orchestrate. Ambiance is warm but alive and the scenery is... more
