    The service and the ambience was great! Especially if you get seated in the lounge/bar area. Ashley, our waitress, was great!. The food, unfortunately, was lackluster. Especially for the price of a meal. We’ve been here numerous times with the same food experience. Ordering filet and seafood. My husband ordered the 8oz filet Oscar for $64. The crab meat was awful. If we hadn’t had a gift card, we wouldn’t have gone back. It’s a shame since the service and ambience is superb!

    The wedge with salmon was terrific and the pork chop that my guest ordered was cooked beautifully. The Brussels with the two dressings was very tasty and will be ordered again. But our server was extremely nice and menu knowledgeable. We will return because of him and the manager who let us move to another warmer table.

    We’ve visited Lala’s several times over the past few years and this has been our best experience of all our visits. The food is always delicious and last night’s was no different. The service last night was timely. Most of all, we loved our booth and its location in the restaurant.
