  Lola’s is a new restaurant in Cleveland’s trendy East 4th neighborhood. Upon a visit with some close friends we dined at this newcomer to the neighborhood. First, let me start by saying the atmosphere was phenomenal! Although I was in Cleveland it certainly felt like New York! The three of us decided upon three opening appetizers to share. We chose the Crab Gnocchi, Heirloom Tomato Salad and Heritage Farms Fresh Bacon. If you are wondering why we ordered bacon then wonder no more! It is comprised of asparagus, truffle and poached egg. All three were simply a feast for the taste buds. For our main courses I ordered the Roasted Duck while my friends dined on the Venison and Salmon. The duck was prepared perfectly.

All three were simply a feast for the taste buds. For our main courses I ordered the Roasted Duck while my friends dined on the Venison and Salmon. The duck was prepared perfectly. Quite possibly the best duck I have had thus far. One is not to forget dessert, however! Once again, we chose three items from the menu and shared each. The “6 a.m. Special” was by far the most intriguing of the three. French toast was covered with maple-bacon ice cream and then topped with caramelized apples. Absolutely delicious! The Warm Chocolate Cake was nowhere near ordinary either! We complemented our meal with a bottle of the house Reisling. In all, this was an excellent place to begin my visit to Cleveland. I would definitely recommend not only visiting this trendy area but also Lola’s. Chef Michael Symon is a renowned chef, even appearing as a challenger on Iron Chef America (2005). His concoctions are one to enjoy if in the city.
