    I celebrated my birthday here today with their Sunday Brunch and we had a good time. We loved our server Addison, she went above and beyond to make my birthday special. Its my second time in Lavo and it didn’t disappoint. My only issue was we had the reservation at 10:45am and it took 15mins before we were seated to our table. Knowing that we were the 1st bunch of guests I was hoping that we’ll be seated immediately. We had to follow up 3x to the receptionist. Overall, I would still say that we had a good experience and I will still come back for the brunch.

    Bar sitting should not be an option for dinner. It’s more of a waiting room.

    What a disappointment, the food was mediocre, stale burned bread, soggy pizza, average pastas and the 12 layers cake was the biggest disappointment so chewy with no flavor.

    Worst service experience we’ve ever had dining. Made a reservation and still waited 50 min to be seated and waited another 30 min to receive our food. Larger parties who had reservations up to 45 minutes after us were seated first. We had to check with the hosts three separate times to make sure they hadn’t forgotten about us but the host staff was not apologetic or accommodating at all; they were actually rude and sarcastic. Absolutely disappointing experience, especially considering it was on Mother’s Day. While the food was good, I could never recommend dining here after our terrible experience.
