5 star - fav new spot for great vibes and great healthy / fresh food ! I had an absolutely outstanding dinner at Lana with three friends and we’re still talking about it. From the moment we walked in, the warm, coastal ambience struck that perfect balance between relaxed and refined, with lighting and décor that make the whole space feel inviting and special. It’s the kind of room where you want to linger over one more drink because it just feels that good to be there.
I ordered the fish and was blown away by how fresh and perfectly prepared it was – cooked just right, with clean, bright flavors that really let the quality of the seafood shine. Around the table, everyone was raving about the chicken salad, which was vibrant, loaded with flavor, and disappeared faster than anything else on the table. Service was warm and attentive without ever feeling rushed, and the whole experience felt like an elevated night out that was still genuinely welcoming. Five stars all the way – I can’t wait to go back and bring more friends.

Some of the most pillowy soft gnocchi I've had in a long time. Meatballs were incredible too.

Hosts are adorable and helpful. Restaurant is super cute. Food and drinks are mediocre at best. The “pork belly confit” is literally pigs in a blanket. Although our server was very nice, the pacing of service is poor. We sat with empty drinks and appetizer plates and did not get asked to order entrees after being at our table for almost an hour. We left prior to ordering entrees and went elsewhere. Our bill was almost $200 and did not feel worth the price whatsoever. If you’re looking for a similar feel, Mia’s is superior with excellent food and service.

It's definitely an expensive experience and from what I have heard about from past reviewers is the dining room can get rather loud so if you have the chance sit out on the deck with the heaters. We went on Valentine's Day and there was only four course meal to choose from but had absolutely delicious selections to choose from. My wife got the trout and she said it's in her top three favorite fish plates she's ever eaten. Also they have a really good selection of NA drinks and cocktails.
And in the bathroom they went with really fun colors versus plain white boring.

In the end. This is in a class of restaurants that are becoming more common. The nice (expensive) restaurant with average food and common menu. We had such high hopes, but the pasta was oily, and our other dish was cold. That being said the French fries were great. But it just takes more then good French fries to make a place a winner at 75 bucks a person.
My friends and I came here for dinner the other night on a Friday and it was pretty busy even with the reservation. Definitely recommend making a reservation! There is plenty of free parking in the lot. We had to wait outside for about 15 minutes until we were seated. It was nice and cozy by the fire! The restaurant itself felt very cramped and like tables were too close together. It was hard to walk and get past people. The food was pretty good, but came out very slowly. Service was OK. I’d recommend trying if you’re in the area.
Food/drink review; Espresso martini: (4/5) Great flavor with a touch of cinnamon.
Honey ginger chicken: (5/5) Honestly my favorite dish of the night. Soooo yummy! Great portion for sharing, but I definitely could’ve had this as my entree.
Braised short rib: (4/5) Super tender and tasty. The inside was a little bit dry, but overall it was good. I really enjoyed the polenta.
Potato puree: (3/5) Decent, but nothing special. Wouldn’t order again.
Spicy chorizo pizza: (5/5) I thought the pizza was delicious! Great flavor and the crust was tasty.
Ricotta gnocchi: (4/5) Surprisingly really flavorful. I loved the texture and the sauce was yummy!
French fries: (4/5) These were delicious! Crispy and tasty. The Aioli was really good
