A Delightful Culinary Experience at Lala I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lala, and I must say, it was an absolute treat for the taste buds. From the moment I stepped foot into the restaurant, I knew I was in for a memorable experience. The food at Lala was nothing short of exceptional. We all decided to indulge in their mouthwatering burgers and fries, and boy, were we in for a treat! The burgers were cooked to perfection, with each bite bursting with flavor and juiciness. Whether you opted for the classic American burger or ventured into the realm of French cuisine with their delectable French burger, you were in for a culinary delight. The blend of ingredients and the attention to detail in each burger truly made them stand out. Now, let's talk about the fries. These were no ordinary fries you would find at any fast-food joint. Lala took the humble potato sticks to a whole new level. Thin, crispy, and perfectly seasoned, they were like an upscale version of McDonald's fries. But what set them apart was the addition of rosemary, which added a delightful herbal note to every bite. It was a small touch that elevated the entire dish and left us craving for more. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the service at Lala was commendable. Considering the number of people enjoying karaoke night, the staff managed to handle it all with grace and efficiency. They were attentive, friendly, and ensured that we had everything we needed to enjoy our dining experience to the fullest. Lala is a restaurant that knows how to deliver a fantastic dining experience. The food, from the exceptional burgers to the irresistible fries, is a true testament to their culinary expertise. The combination of French and American flavors creates a unique and delightful menu that caters to all palates. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a place to unwind with friends, Lala is the perfect choice. I recommend Lala to anyone who appreciates a real angus burger cooked to order.

Anna was our server & she couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. As a rule I love LaLa & visit every time we're here. My only concern was that they had run out of most food. No Grouper No Octopus No Ribs. We all changed our orders & settled . Overall good experience
I went for Mother's Day, with my husband, son, daughter in law and my granddaughter. Three of the items we ordered were not available, we were told after waiting for a while, right when we were expecting to get our meal. Bottomless mimosas are not worth it when service is not good. Ended up having 3 after asking the server a few times for service. Service was not good, but can't blame it on the employees, they were short staffed, specially for Mother's Day. Food was ok.
The entire experience at LaLa was awful. We were amongst 2-3 other tables that walked out after waiting over an hour for drinks and approximately an hour and a half for cold food. In top of it, the wait staff was sarcastic and inattentive.
I rarely leave reviews, but...This was our 2nd visit to Lalas. I took my wife and daughter to the rooftop. The band downstairs in the courtyard was awesome. The service was perfect, again. The food is always great. If the weather is anything but bad, I suggest the rooftop. The view and the breeze are wonderful. I can't remember our server's name but she was wonderful. She was the one with dark hair wearing a black shirt that said Lala on it. :-) we will be back!
We had a group of 8 for dinner. We were seated right away downstairs inside. Chairs and table were comfortable. Wait staff was nice and informative. The food was outstanding, down right excellent! But the drinks and food are very pricey! We spent about $280 for four of us including appetizers and four drinks. Loved everything except for the price.

Love Lala and the food is good. We like burgers and it's what we usually get bur 9 times out of 10 they are overcooked despite asking for medium temp. My daughter asks for medium rare and she gets well done every time. LOL!!
Amazing food. Amazing ambiance. The service was a bit sluggish, but we will certainly return. We dined on the rooftop and then headed downstairs for karaoke. A fantastic evening overall.

I threw a birthday party here in the speakeasy room and we all had a great time! It must have been a busy day because there weren't staff at the door to direct me to the room when I arrived, but the bar staff compensated and were very helpful. The tech is easy to use, the food and drinks were delicious, and the vibes in the bar area were so supportive and fun, you definitely don't need to rent a room if you just want to sing a song or two. I absolutely recommend!
Had a great lunch Tuesday, the new Parisian sandwich was excellent. Nina was a super friendly host and Ally provided great service!!

The restaurant is a really cool place to have a drink and then dinner. We sat on the rooftop and enjoyed the setting, especially listening to the live music next door at the brewery. Service was excellent and the food was wonderful. I recommend the wild mushroom risotto in particular.

In love with LaLa. We made a reservation for dinner at LaLa's after just moving to St. Petersburg and loved it. We opted to sit on the back patio...just wow! I really felt like I was in an oasis and loved the vibe. The patio features communal and private tables as well as corn hole. They had live music the night we were there and the musicians were top-notch. I definitely want to go back and check out the roof-top patio because it looked beautiful as well. They do have indoor dining as well. I loved the menu and the vegetarian options. I also loved the attentiveness of Eric our server when it came to my shellfish allergy. Not only did Eric make great recommendations but he also was great about giving us tips for living in the city. He was amazing! I had the Mediterranean Pasta and it was so delicious. Fresh, hot, and teaming with flavors...it will definitely be something I crave. Drink options were vast as was the menu. Definitely a happening and fun place to spend a date night or an evening with friends.

Currently sitting here and the ambiance is beautiful, love band, great service & great weather. The food on the other hand is very mediocre. The grouper sandwich I'll give it to them had great taste but the portion was average like a McDonald filet o fish. The Caesar salad (most safest choice) was so bland and the chicken was dry . The only tasty thing was the cheesecake. It was Caramel & it was DELICIOUS. This place has potential but the food needs so much help ... especially for the prices
Our Food was perfectly prepared & plated ! Our Server Sarah was 5 Star Perfect ! Polite , Knowledgeable & expert timing. We enjoyed our Dining experience, which is kind of rare these days that all goes well ! The entire Staff that we encountered were well trained , efficient & genuinely smiled & made us feel they were glad we were there ! The Food was next level , we will spread the word & look forward to a return visit !
