Such a great experience! Loved the vegetarian charcuterie board. It is all savory so if you’re looking for something that has some sweet I’d recommend creating your own board. The Brie and blue cheese were yummy and the baguette was fresh and soft, a little chewy but still good! I’d definitely go back!

The tables and chairs were extremely too close to one another. The food was not what I expected, and I ordered red snapper. The waiters took a very long time to get to us, and they didn’t even bring us Silverware. It was very claustrophobic.

Went to LaLa on a week night for an early dinner at 6 pm for two people. Sat outside and had the whole rooftop bar area to ourselves. Rooftop is more of a bar scene, so might have been nicer downstairs. Since there were no other people, it was very quiet. We opted for small plates and had the grilled octopus, black truffle mac and cheese, and burrata caprese salad. Dessert was chocolate mousse and salted caramel cheese cake. Service was staggered nicely, and food was really good. Nice presentation. Had a bottle of chardonnay. Only complaint about the service is that waitress did not alert us of the 50% off bottles of wine until we already got a bottle. Might have gone more expensive! I would recommend this restaurant.

We had a great meal at LaLa. Our server, Patrick, made excellent recommendations and helped us have a terrific night out. The food was all well prepared and delicious and the drinks were super. If you’re in St. Petersburg, you can’t go wrong picking this restaurant.

Service was quite good, however, I resent having the tip added to our check. Our table of six on one check doesn't constitute a large group. Kitchen hood systems needs to be air balanced to avoid a rush of outside air from the entry door. The result is condensation forming on the round ductwork which eventually drips onto the customers.

We had another amazing meal, albeit our son was not happy with his hamburger. He should have spoken up, but he didn't. The waiter should have questioned him more since he left almost the entire burger on his plate. The rest of the food was fantastic and we all agreed LaLa has the BEST Calamari in town. My husband and friend ordered the ribs. HUGE Portion! My chicken parm was very tasty and my other friend raved about the Grouper sandwich. It was fresh and delicious.

Staff wasn’t bad. Food was edible but nothing special, under seasoned. Noise was insane! I don’t know if it’s the volume of the speakers or the acoustics of the outside area or both. But we’re trying to eat dinner and socialize not be at a club. We couldn’t hear the person sitting next to us. The noise level was at the level of extreme discomfort. We were a group of 7 and couldn’t wait to get out of there because the music was so loud it was stressful. The atmosphere created by the playing band was the opposite of relaxing. The band wasn’t playing bad music but again it was how loud it was. We understand that the band itself was brought on by the restaurant across but that has the same shared outdoor space, but as a business your patrons experience should be important enough to you for you to talk to the other restaurant to make your diners experiences enjoyable.

The cocktails were fresh and delicious, and our waitress was so knowledgeable and provided excellent recommendations. The desserts were also amazing, fresh ingredients and something for everyone. Overall it was a great experience.

Chicken tenders were good.. but the price was very high for 4 tiny tenders. Other than that, Dani was a great server and was fun and brought energy to our party. We also had Cliff as a server in the private karaoke room. He was a blast.

We were on the rooftop and started to rain there is no good structure to keep people dry there. Poor service waiter couldn’t take care of all the tables properly. Also, a band that was playing outside was too loud that we cannot talk at my table. There is no reason for such a loud song since it’s a bar, not a nightclub.

Our party of 5 had a rez and we were promptly seated. Unfortunately, the table was next to the entrance. Kind of surprised since other tables were open. We asked to move and were quickly reseated at a more desirable table. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the Pork ragu with pasta which was excellent. The lobster bisque came with nice chunks of lobster in a double Lipitor cream-based broth. The menu is very creative and it is a great lunch or dinner venue. Plenty of vegan choices too. The wait staff are all great but a big shout out to JJ who has a great personality and defines what service should be.

LALA was a great experience from start to finish. The place is a hot spot & crowded at night. We ordered quite a few different apps and entrees and each had a unique set of flavors. Service was top notch and the atmosphere is on point. Great addition to a the Grand Central District area.

Went on Tuesday night to celebrate my wife's birthday (indicated so when booking the Open Table reservation...but the restaurant did nothing to acknowledge that...what's the point of indicating it then). Out of my first choice on the regular menu, out of my second choice off the daily specials menu. Ordered my third choice off the regular menu which was available and very good. Still though....out of two items - one of which is a daily special - at 7:15 on a Tuesday night??? Appetizer (grilled octopus) was very good but took forever to arrive. Since we had to wait a while, we dug right in, but we'd only been noshing on it for a couple of minutes when our entree's showed up. Timing of courses issues? Received the bill and it was 20% off Tuesday! A nice surprise but how come Open Table didn't tell us something like that on the front end? All in all, it was a good meal that could have been close to great had all the entree's been available, the course timing issues worked out a little better, and the restaurant had done something to acknowledge the birthday we clearly indicated when making the OT reservation.
