Great food and great service make for an amazing dinner out! Our first time at LA Cafe, but already scheduling a date to take friends there. Baby Back Ribs fell off the bone, Shrimp perfectly breaded. Recommend the twice baked potatoes and mac & cheese as a side. Look forward to trying other things.

This restaurant is truly remarkable because the food it is a great value and really, really good. And this is the only restaurant of this nature around here. Meaning, it is not a chain. It has a varied menu from entrees to appetizers and sandwiches. The ambiance is the big plus, in part because of the small town feel right in downtown Whitestown. It doesn't hurt that the servers and owner are super nice and want you to have a great experience. You will want to return.

Went there for Easter brunch buffet. There was plenty of different foods to choose from, including fried chicken, shrimp, and numerous breakfast items. All of the food was good but I would not say that any of it was exceptional. I felt the price was a bit steep for what you got.

We were getting together with out of town guests the Sat. before Easter. Very happy with the ease with which using OpenTable was. I'm not sure why we needed to get a reservation especially at 4:00 as the restaurant was not that easy. That was the closest time I could get through OpenTable. It was very easy to talk with our guests at this restaurant and we were not rushed.

Our waitress and food were great, as usual. The hostess was a bimbo. We were meeting friends and, although she took our name for our reservation, and our friends mentioned our name, she sat us at separate tables in separate areas. We lost 30 minutes of visiting, and inconvenienced two or more of the staff because she wasn't paying attention. And yeah, we get that staffing is a mess right now, but this was rather ridiculous and embarrassing.

We dined at LA Cafe on Saturday evening. We had early reservations; so we were surprised that the restaurant was already fill when we arrived. The staff, however, already had our table ready for us, and the service and food quality were both outstanding. The staff was both efficient and personable. We highly recommend LA Cafe!

Seafood chowder was packed with flavor. The pessimist wine was delicious. Hubby had to send back the steak and sweet potatoes due to lack of seasoning. The menu wasn’t enticing.

Once again LA Cafe was a delicious experience! We went for Valentines dinner and had a wonderful time! The place was bustling, but our server was attentive and friendly! We had originally booked dinner for two a few weeks ago but our good friends hadn’t booked anywhere. I called that morning and asked if they could be added on LA Cafe said yes. We very much appreciated them accommodating us. We were greeted warmly upon entering and had a special menu to choose from. Our food was well prepared and delicious! The shrimp cocktail was kickin’ and the steaks were perfect! We topped the dinner off with raspberry cheesecake, crème brûlée, and peanut butter pie! It was a wonderful evening! Thank you LA Cafe!
