    LaLa’s once again has been fabulous, probably one of the busiest Resturant days of the year (right up there with Mother’s Day). They handled the crowd well, food was above par, plenty of help serving and assisting. Always look forward for a reason to return. (and I think I have it). The special menu for the evening covered every taste in our party. Thanks for a wonderful Valentine’s Day.

    Well, the food was delicious…….. we ordered the fried goat cheese balls for an appetizer and they showed up to the table barely warm. We sent them back. I got chicken Cordon Bleu and hubby got the berry salad with grilled chicken. Our friends got the scallops and the fish special. My chicken was literally lukewarm. The waiter was nice, but not the least bit attentive. When we were done, he brought us the bills and never once asked if we would like dessert or coffee. I even said that to my girlfriend. That felt strange that he wouldn’t even offer it. Our reservations were for 530 and that’s when we were seated and we were not done eating until 8 PM because everything just took forever. On a positive note, the steaks that we saw going past our table looked delicious. Our food tasted good, it’s just that they had an issue getting food to the table once it was ready. Not sure if I would give that a try again. The entire place was still decorated for Christmas. You would think by the last week in January they would take care of that. Clearly, the place is popular. It was very busy. If the service was better and we had hot food, I think we wouldn’t think twice about going back

    Very good experience,from the front desk and parking right up to a nice quiet table that they provided us as requested and our server Danielle. We have been here before, but this trip with all the beautiful Christmas decorations still up it was great …
