    The server was great but kept apologizing for the long courses and had many tables. Did not receive what was stated on the menu but wasn’t trying to cause more of a wait for our food.

    The pasta vongole was amazing! Cocktails were all great, too! Especially the dirty martini which was just amazing. However, the oysters were not opened properly and had many pieces of little shell bits, which is not really acceptable at the price point they are at. I went on a particularly busy night and we were a little too close to the table next to us. The ambiance was therefore not so romantic.

    Visited TLO with a couple of friends on a Friday night. The food and drinks were very good. The service, however, was very slow. It was a busy night, and they did mention they were down a shucker, so I’d be open to revisiting and seeing if my experience is any different.

    Food was absolutely delicious! We ordered about 3 plates for 3 ppl to share which was enough but def on the smaller portion side, drinks were great too. It’s very dark inside almost too dark but it’s alright and service wasn’t amazing she took so ling to come back around to get our second drink order, other than that it was great

    We just moved to the neighborhood, and this was our first dinner in the area! The servers and bartenders were beyond delightful. All of the food was spectacular. The drinks were totally different from cocktails we’d experienced elsewhere (in a great way.) Will definitely be back.
