                                    I love the beautiful Christmas decorations La V has each year. The service was wonderful— real old-fashioned courtesy— and ambience was very nice, if a little noisy. Tablecloths would dampen the noise. My only issue is that La V has has the same lunch menu for ages. It’s time for a change.

                                    There were two large groups and we were between them. One group was polite and spoke in normal voices, the other group were loud and rude. The manager should hsve requested they keep the noise down. Also, we were seated at least 15 minutes before both groups came.They took their orders immediately while we waited 45 minutes. The manager apologized but even after that the service was about the worst I’ve ever had. Even though I live three blocks sway, I will not be back

                                    Exquisite ocean view from patio. Staff from valet to servers was excellent. The ahi poke nachos were fresh and tasty. All of our sandwich entrees were served hot and were delicious. I especially enjoyed the cheesecake and coffee we ordered for dessert. I highly recommend
