Well guess what. I got another response from them saying they contacted the restaurant and the menu on-line IS the current menu.

So my mistake thinking an entrée of "Autumn Vegetables" was not part of a Spring menu!

They truly have been very nice in their e-mails.

And in case you're wondering, it's Lola Bistro in Cleveland.

And I'm a Boomer, thank you very much

Wow. Isn't that Michael Symon's place?
That should be good any season.
Enjoy!

Yes it is. Not that he's a household name to some, but to many he is...especially if you are going to Cleveland.

We'll be on a driving trip around Ohio and Michigan, and the reason it's important for me to have accurate menu information is so we don't plan nights that are too similar to each other consecutively.

But I'm still flummoxed by "autumn vegetables" on a spring menu.

Definitely odd. I would have asked too. They're probably root vegetables, but still, October was a long time ago. I'm sure I would be asking again at the table.

I've only been to his burger place, B Spot. The burger was really good but the Gods smiling moment was the thick cut fried bologna sandwich, bologna is made in house, wow was that good!

used contact form on 'corporate' site?

lola site publishes chef's email

random btw - emails and phone numbers are sometimes outsourced

customer service does vary dramatically

I'm not a millennial but I prefer to communicate via email than over the phone.
