    Outstanding dining experience!! Clara and her staff gave us exceptional service. The food was excellent. We each had the fillet with bernaise sauce. To celebrate a birthday, Clara surprised us with a magnificent chocolate cake and ice cream to share. This was one of the nicest dinners we have had anywhere. Thank you, Clara!!

    Sin duda una gran experiencia. El servicio impecable y al detalle, están pendientes pero te dan tu tiempo para ir disfrutando la velada. La carta de vinos variada y completa. La comida estuvo espectacular, incluyendo su presentación, la oferta gastronómica es una interesante combinación de cocina francesa y asiática. Su manager super amable y atenta, ella y su equipo te hacen sentirte bienvenido y con ganas de volver, sin duda regresáremos.

    It was hard to find. But not far from 10th ave. Food was good and interesting. Service was attentive, but a little slow at times. It’s a small place so it was a little noisy.

    The most wonderful dining experience in Playa. Great food, professional service, and creative cuisine. My only complaint is that wine pricing is very, very high. A 5 times retail mark up is hard to justify. That being said, we continue to dine at Oh Lala year after year and always look forward to an exceptional dining experience

    Food was taken back twice for wrong orders They did not prepare meals at right temps(rare, medium) No communication from staff on what was happening Meals were bought out separate from each other Zero recognition from service staff on what happened I did not think the ambiance was anything special Much nicer places to dine in playa in my humble opinion For such high praise, was incredible disappointed
