Lovely meal. Chose restaurant because they had trout on the menu. Eggplant in a pomegranate sauce was tasty. Choice selection was varied but I would have liked to have seen more fish on the menu. Missed my espresso after dinner but their French press was good. Pleasant and attentive service. A bit too noisy.

I usually love this place but bummed valentines wasn’t my favorite experience. I understand it’s a busy holiday but prefixed menu sucked , dessert I ordered sold out … just disappointing. I expected a lot more given the price .
LailiReageerde 5 dagen geleden
Hi Brooke, Thank you for your honest feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your Valentine’s Day experience didn’t live up to your past visits. We understand that expectations are high for special occasions, and we regret that the special menu and sold-out dessert left you disappointed. We did have the regular menu available on top our special event menu. I apologize if that was not made apparent to you by our server. Your support means a lot to us, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding on such a busy evening. We hope to have the chance to provide you with a much better experience on your next visit. Sincerely, Xander N. GM Laili Restaurant
