Any self-proclaimed foodie out there is sure to be familiar with Chef Michael Symon - a chef whose immense talents in the kitchen have led to several Food Network shows, including the ever-popular Iron Chef America. Known for cooking with soul, Chef Symon grew up in a Greek and Sicilian family - an upbringing that the Cleveland native credits for his boldly-flavored dishes. Lola, boasting an elegant dining room and an open kitchen, is the restaurant that made Chef Symon a well-known name in the food industry after it opened in 1997.

In fact, Chef Symon’s ascension was so quick that he was named one of Food & Wine magazine's "Best New Chefs" in 1998 and in 2000, Gourmet Magazine named Lola as one of “America’s Best Restaurants”. Now regularly recognized in Food & Wine magazine's feature of the "Ten Best Chefs in America", Chef Symon is also a two-time nominee for "Best Chef Great Lakes", by the James Beard Foundation - winning in 2009. Led by Chef Symon and Executive Jacob Micale, the culinary team at Lola specializes in serving rustic New American cuisine. Lola's signature dishes include their perfectly prepared meats and seafood. Chef Symon has long been dedicated to nose-to-tail cooking and it shows in Lola’s delicious pork dishes. Their Pork Belly served with Crispy Ears and their Smoked Hampshire Pork Chop are simply delicious. With that said, we recommend ordering their Beef Cheek Pierogi - one of the most popular meals on their menu. Served with mushrooms and horseradish crème Fraiche, their Beef Cheek Pierogi is a can’t miss. The share plates at Lola make for a fun night out chatting and eating with friends and family. If you're looking to go this route, we recommend ordering "Michael’s Favorite Snack" or their Crispy Bone Marrow!
