    We went to labebe for our 3rd anniversary, after our vacation had been compromised when our airbnb lost power and running water. Labebe turned our whole day around, and then some. We were looking for the best of the best, to have an experience worth remembering for the whole year, and that is exactly what we got. We got the beef croquettes, and the hummus to start. That was our first time having wagyu, and everything was fantastic, I do not usually do well with fried foods but you can tell with this one they use clean oil, so I did not feel sick from the breading at all, and I usually feel sick from one mozzarella stick. The staff came over to us so frequently we forgot who our original server was, and they had very extensive knowledge enough to help us with a recommended wine just based on a flavor we requested. We then got the prime filet mignons, 2 8 oz steaks, and we had been searching for a steak better than one we had been talking about since our honeymoon, and we finally found it at Labebe. It came out so juicy, and so warm in the middle, with a pepper for added spice if we want it and a sweet onion for added sweetness if we want it, and a little mushroom sauce. we didn't need any of that. We ate the whole steak as it was, because it was too good to sully with extra flavors. They then brought out a pallet cleanser lemon Italian before dessert, which we got the cheese cake and the lava cake, both fantastic as well. Will definitely be going again for our special occasions.
