We encountered a significant delay because the restaurant being overcrowded, and many people arriving late for their reservations. The food was decent, but the highlight of the evening was definitely the wine pairing and the sommelier's storytelling which really made our night! We are in the industry as well and we appreciate the way he treated us despite the delays! My fiancé and I had a fun night overall!

We spent Valentine’s Day at Lano, and the vibe was perfect, music, candles, everything set the mood just right. The Romeo and Juliet wine pairing was amazing, and Sammy made it extra special for us. The food was decent, but the crudo and croquettes were definitely our faves.

The food was alright but at 150 I had hoped for a bit more. The drinks were ok but not fantastic to justify the price either. Deserts were really nicely done. The service from each of the servers was excellent but the lack of coordination had us introduced maybe 3 times by different servers. My reservation was for 10pm but our table was only ready at 10:45pm. A hold of 150 was made in case I am late or can’t make it but the restaurant can be 45 minutes late for my date night.

Amazing Valentine’s Day Experience! From the cheerful host, to the delicious dessert, it was by far one of my greatest experiences. Food was exquisite, definitely worth the money, service was impeccable, drinks were great! My wife has multiple food allergies, and our server was so accommodating of that and the chef was able to create a new dish, with that in mind. The ambience was great. I’m not a fan of music at dinner because it can be loud, but everything here was just perfect. Live performers did a great job too! 10/10 experience especially on Valentines Day. My wife was very impressed.

Went for a Valentine's Day Prix fixe and the food was good but everything was cold! Not warm... Cold. It's unfortunate because the food tasted good but it was made way ahead and super super cold. The meatballs were the only thing that was slightly warm. And the crisp was fine because it was supposed to be cold.
