    Ever since my wife and I found La Contea several years ago we’ve been coming for every birthday and anniversary. Always a very nice experience. Food is delicious, ambience is nice and open. And the staff is outstanding.

    As always, the food was excellent, and even though the restaurant was busy, our server was completely attentive. One of the great things about this restaurant, is that the live entertainment is kept at a reasonable volume, so the diners can actually speak with one another simultaneously with the music if they so choose. We are there, after all, to enjoy each other’s company, not for a concert.

    Excellent Service . The food was very, very good. The steak was very tender, juicy, and super flavorful. Harold is an excellent waiter and very keen on when to be at the table and not to be at the table. Overall very nice experience and I will return again.

    It is a fantastic place to go for dinner. Anything from by yourself or a large party. (You will need to reserve that in advance.) Excellent live music on Friday and Saturday nights.

    Their restaurant week menu was fabulous and plus you got a free sangria with your restaurant week meal! A great value for $45. Service was amazing and the food is always delicious. I highly recommend this place for date night.
