                    A higher end restaurant but worth it when you want something special. Great taste, good amount of food (lots of leftovers). Our server Rhea was so much fun!

                    LaLa’s once again has been fabulous, probably one of the busiest Resturant days of the year (right up there with Mother’s Day). They handled the crowd well, food was above par, plenty of help serving and assisting. Always look forward for a reason to return. (and I think I have it). The special menu for the evening covered every taste in our party. Thanks for a wonderful Valentine’s Day.
