    Sat at a table in the bar area and the piano music and singing was way way too loud. Made it impossible to have a conversation. Would have rated much higher but that kind of ruined what we expected to be an intimate dinner. If eating here I would recommend asking to not be seated in bar area.

    The best marinara sauce I've had anywhere ever. The grouper is outstanding. Ask for Howard for excellent service. Love piano is a wonderful accent to the experience. Always a pleasure.

    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.
