Lola

Lunch at Lola! :)

I went with my "partner in delicious crime", Amy and our friend Lisa. We finally made it back to Lola after about a year. The last time we went for dinner. We were obviously very impressed that night, but its been so long we've been dying to give it another shot. Lunchtime, was perfect.

I ordered the, beef cheek pierogie appetizer with horseradish and mushrooms that I've heard so much about. This was a bit of a risk for me because I do not like mushrooms. I decided to "throw caution to the wind" and try the dish anyway. Luckily for me, the mushrooms seem like they are a nice part of the dish, but are by no way the star. The pierogies were buttery, tender and amazingly hearty. My only comment would be that I wanted more horseradish sauce because well...I LOVE horseradish. This dish is great for a chilly day.

I also enjoyed the very simple, but absolutely delicious mixed green salad of greens, sliced green apples, blue cheese, candied pecans and a light vinaigrette. It was refreshing, light and lovely.

Amy raved about her Chicken Pailliard salad with arugula, grapes and almonds. She said, "You know this is only grilled chicken, but its amazing! Its soo moist!". I also thought it was neat that the dish was served with the salad on one side of the plate and a whole chicken breast on the other. This way, you could mix and match pieces to your pleasure.

Lisa ordered the "choose two (selections of soups, sandwiches and salads)" entree with a Pressed Turkey Club with bacon, alfalfa sprouts and smoked cheddar with a side salad. She enjoyed it very much.

All in all, we are definitely heading back to Lola for lunch and hopefully dinner sometime soon.

I know Steve is going to be very jealous of us after today's lunch. He's been dying to try Lola for ages. Look soon for his Lolita review from his Graduation dinner. P.S. Steve just graduated with his Master's Degree in Psychology! Yay Steve!

AND .........Yay Michael Symon!
