    Went for an early Valentine’s Day and their was a large group of guys literally standing on chairs spinning napkins in the air doing dirty gestures and the management didn’t do anything at all good was genuinely not good and tiny portions ambience was good if these guys weren’t there night completely ruined can not for the life of me understand why the staff didn’t do anything about it or even offer an apology after every table that was close to these guys asked to be moved worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had

    LAVO is one of our favorites, now! The cafe is breathtaking with loads of flowed and greenery. I think it’s most on display at lunch. Portions were generous and a great value. Little extras like ice that is tea made into cubes, a choice of fruit with your water, and a chef’s gift to start the meal, are the small things that makes LAVO set apart from the rest.

    We appreciated the birthday card upon arriving. We had lobster pasta, steak, carpaccio, oysters. We liked the spritz Paloma, oyster and the truffle fries. Our steak was a bit overcooked and under seasoned. Lobster pasta was ok. We loved our waiter Ernesto who was super attentive to our table but our server, she didn’t provide good service and did not come around as often and we waited a long time for our food or even an update.
