The roasted bone marrow appetizer was amazing. The duck very good. Strawberry Rhubard pepper angel food parfait was delicious. The signature drink - forgot the name - was very tasty and refreshing. A little loud, but the service very good.

We were visiting friends in the Cleveland Area and made it a point to dine at a Michael Symon restaurant. We were not disappointed. Everyone truly enjoyed their meal. Personally speaking, the porcini mushroom soup with the duck tortellini was tremendous. The hanger steak was done to perfection and was delicious. For dessert I had one of their daily specials...

We, too, had wanted to eat at a Michael Symon restaurant. We made a reservation the previous day and were promptly seated when we arrived. I like that the menu has a limited amount of appetizers, pasta, mains, and desserts and does those very, very well. Our waitress was excellent at being very attentive but not hovering over us. We...

I had wanted to try a Michael Symon restaurant for some time. We happened to be in Cleveland for a graduation, and ended up with some free time. I called the restaurant in the afternoon and got a reservation for 6:00. We got there a bit early, but they were able to seat us right away. The food is delicious... More

Great food, in a great location downtown. Extensive wine and drink menu, and the food is fantastic. Nice part about Lolita is the atmosphere. Classy without being stuffy.

We travel to Lolita at least three times a year--not nearly enough but we live a good drive from here. Appetizers are amazing and we often make a meal out of sharing several appetizers. Service has always been spectacular--we request Tiffany. The fried brussel sprouts are wonderful, my friend likes the bone marrow, and I love the wood-fired pizzas. Salads... More

As big fans of Michael Symon, a friend & I drove 3 hours to try Lolita & B Spot. We were not disappointed. I had the hanger steak which melted in my mouth & was perfectly cooked. The brussel sprouts fried & served with walnuts were amazing & I have even tried making them at home with much success. Symon's... More

The food was amazing. It is very Midwestern, with a strong Polish influence--as is appropriate for the area. I enjoyed the most delicious pork chop every created, some simple but excellent polenta sprinkled with parmesan, and brussel sprouts--YES, brussel sprouts--grilled with walnuts. The atmosphere was unassuming and intimate. Make sure you make a reservation, as it is has a small... More

I love Michael Symon but I'm always hesitant to try celebrity chef's restaurants. I was not disappointed at all with Lolita....in fact, I was very happy with my meal. I had the most delicious pork chop (had to have something pork since I know Michael loves it so much and could prepare it well). The atmosphere was so homey and... More
