Lola

We've been wanting to try Lola since it opened a little while ago. It's just down the street in the Heights at 11th and Yale (note: in the dry part of the heights, so it's byob). We got a chance to go a couple weeks ago with the Summer Street crew. They have a nice, small diner menu of entrees, sandwiches, and breakfast served all day.

Brian and I both ordered the Steak frites. The steak wasn't bad, and the parmesan fries were nice, but the best part was the chimichurri sauce that came with it. That made a simple steak really special. Erik ate an open faced roast beef sandwich dysphemized "Wet Roast Beef Debris." It looked like a nice roast beef sandwich, but I would ask for the same parmesan fries that came with the steak frites.

Kimmy wanted to try their chicken and waffles, to see if it would compare with our favorite at the Breakfast Klub, and it didn't quite compare. The waffle was pretty good, but the chicken was pretty dry and didn't have much flavor to it, unlike the chicken wings that come with the Breakfast Klubs giant waffle - still our favorite. A nice place overall, the staff was very friendly and it's a nice casual place to grab a meal anytime. There's still plenty more on the menu that I'm intrigued by, so I'm sure we'll be back sometime.
