    This is the second time eating at Laila's, and it was a great experience yet again. On a Saturday evening, the noise level was very manageable, and the ambience was cozy and intimate. The Gobi Manchurian was crispy and carmalized perfectly. The tandoori Jumbo Shrimp was outstanding; our second entree, the Wild Mushroom Korma was a little bland--we would likely not order it again. The service was extremely helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back!

    My only negative was that the men’s room floor was very slippery. The floor outside the restrooms was also slippery. We had someone on a walker and we were a little worried about his safety. My mistake for not bringing it to anyone’s attention.

    We were a group of eight and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. The only disappointment was that the Benton's Bacon Old Fashioned was not available, as five people wanted to get this cocktail. The Market Place is a great dining establishment and consistently performs at a high level.

    As usual, nothing to critique. Food, service and decor all stellar. Pork belly appetizer is a must try. The crispy, sweet and smoky flavor with pecan garnish is a symphony of flavors that play in your mouth like a finely tuned orchestra. Logan was a standout server. Neva sold us on the vanilla cheesecake which was the most beautiful presentation I have ever seen for cheesecake. This 15 year establishment is a well oiled machine. Make Posana a priority for your next foodie experience.
