LALA St. Pete

Absolutely delicious food and drinks. The Brussels sprouts were perfect. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. We went on a Monday during the day and the music/atmosphere was relaxing. More people started filling in later in the day.

We enjoyed ourselves when we went to LALA St. Pete for lunch. We sat on the back patio, which provided plenty of shade. The food was very tasty. I was the first to try the Shrimp Scampi due to it just now being added to the menu. It was full of flavor and plated with perfection. My husband enjoyed the Wild Mushrooom Risotto with Octopus. It was cooked to perfection with the flavor just right and the Octopus was so tender you didn't need a knife to cut through it. The service was great as well. We were seated right away and provided with excellent customer service during the whole time of the dining experience. I highly recommend dining here when you are in the area.

Last weekend we had the pleasure of dining here to celebrate a joint bachelorette/bachelor party, and it could not have been more perfect! Our server, Patrick, consistently went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were taken care of - he was super accommodating, personable, and attentive. And don’t even get me started on the food - every single thing our party of 12 ordered was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for making our experience so special!

A very fun and upscale relaxed vibe. Our server, Clifford was attentive, observant, and pleasant from the start sonwe knew this would be a great experience. The menu was diverse and made our selection difficult, but we were very happy with our our choices. The ladies at the table next to us ordered wings, and I could tell they were epic so we got some for ourselves. They had the perfect amount of crisp- and heat. We ordered the housemade ranch with them, which was OK but didn't stand out and clearly sour cream based (very thick). I'll try the blue cheese next time. For the main dishes we both ordered steaks- my husband had the steak frites and I had the petite filet which comes with two sides. The Brussels sprouts were so delicious I'm craving them today. And the fries had a detectable truffle rosemary flavor to them and were hot and crispy- pure perfection. I wish they had more options on their dessert menu- everything was dairy based or had dairy, so we passed on dessert. Overall a fantastic meal, and we will go back again!

We visited Lala on a rainy weekday during lunch. What a neighborhood gem we found! It was not busy with just a few tables and people seated at the bar. The vibe of the restaurant is very nice. I was impressed with the bartender/server Neil who whipped up beautiful and delicious cocktails, the freshness and presentation of the food (I had their bowl with grilled chicken), the music choice, the decor, and overall friendliness of the place. Everything is made from scratch and tastes like real food should taste. They even make their own garnishes for drinks! In between serving customers and making drinks, Neil was loading dehydrator with slices of lemon, orange, and lime making a new batch of garnishes. They have several private rooms that one can book for parties, a roof-top bar , as well as outdoor area in the back of the restaurant. Karaoke nights is a thing, we were told. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Wish we had more places like Lala!
