I booked in advance a table for three. We got seated at a table that was clearly meant for two people. I asked to be seated somewhere else. They said the next available booth is in two hours. We ended up moving to sit in the bar area because there’s no way that the three of us could have our drinks or appetizers and our meals at the table at the same time. The food was decent, we asked for no bacon on one of the pastas and of course it came out with bacon. Therefore, our steak went cold as we waited for the pasta to come out. The dessert was very good. We got the hazelnut tart. Our server, Michael was great. overall I will not be coming back. It is overpriced. The food was average, and the seating was not comfortable and claustrophobic.

This was my second time at LAVO and brought guests as well. Service was still exquisite and the food was top notch. No complaints of notes. It’s not cheap but sometimes you have to pay for nice things.

Waitress did not/could not explain the correct proportions of the food and so we over ordered. Disappointed that a restaurant of this caliber could not deliver good service

Stop looking and just book your reservation. We enjoyed every aspect of our dinner and would recommend this for any occasion. Great for a date night or family dinner. Portions are large so you are going to get a lot for your money and it's high quality to boot.

Lavo was a fun experience. The waitress was amazing. The hostess was very warm and welcoming. However the food was average. I didn’t find anything special about the penne alla vodka and the waitress did talk it up. The noise level… I’ve been in a noisier atmosphere but the music was pretty loud. The atmosphere itself besides the noise was awesome. I absolutely loved that.
