Great food, great service, great ambience. The bathroom needs help. Floor was sticky in front of the toilet area I don't even want to think about what was on the floor. Paper towel holder was empty

First and foremost: the food was fantastic. Plating was superb, flavors were fresh and bold, and the menu options were engaging. We started with the Caesar salad, which was bright and very tasty. Dressing was great and the croutons were clearly homemade.
Our main courses were the pork Milanese and the chicken carciofi. Both were absolutely wonderful. Great portion size and it’s crystal clear the chefs take pride in the quality of the food they serve.

Now onto the service. Our waiter was friendly enough, but the rest of the staff were abrupt, bordering on rude. The hostess and another server (wearing glasses) were very loudly and obviously engaging in some short of gossip or bad mouthing. The gentleman with the glasses interrupted a deep conversation my husband and I were having to ask the name on our reservation, no reason was given why. Our waters were never refilled until we requested it, and after our food was delivered, no one checked back in with us to ensure we were happy with it. It was not busy at all, with only a few other tables inside and a couple on the porch, so not sure why we weren’t checked on more often.

Overall, our experience was okay. For the price you’re paying for the meal, the great quality of the food, and the charming ambiance, you’d think that the service would be a little better. We may return in the future, hopefully the manager can give their staff some guidance on hospitality towards patrons.

We had a amazing time. This little restaurant was perfect for our wedding anniversary. We enjoyed martinis, a brie cheese platter (the fried capers were a welcome add), t-bone steak and the very best rack of lamb we've ever had. Everything was made perfectly, the flavors were so balanced and sophisticated. You can tell the chef really understands good food. Our server, Will, was incredible. We really enjoyed our time. The patio was lovely. A perfect hidden gem.

This restaurant is one of my 'treat yourself' stops. When I sit at the bar I meet people from all over the world and have great conversation.

Wonderful attentive staff, delicious T bone & cheese cake, top shelf creative cocktails.

Great restaurant with great food and drinks! We make the drive from Salt Lake pretty regularly and this is where we stay and eat. We eat here even when we don't stay here because it's phenomenal!

Service was extremely slow. Due to lack of staff.
Food portions were small, Caesar salid was abismal. (See photo) all other food was mediocre at best. Location was good, but let down drastically by uninterested owner/management.

Food, atmosphere, and service were exceptional! The bartender, Will made amazing drinks and gave some of the best service. Derek and Kurtis also provided great conversation and a good time! The food was by far some of the best I have ever had. If you're in Lava, make sure to make this place a stop!

Excellent food, friendly service, and a relaxing dining room and delightful outdoor patio.

Food taste amazing!.... But for reasons unknown the kitchen was backed up, waited an hour and a half for just bread and butter. (Even with a reservation) The package we got came with a $40 dinner voucher, but if used, automatically ads 20% gratuity... And with how pricey food is (remember as I said before. It's pretty amazing!) the voucher is realistically like 20% off coupon for the meal... But in the end our waiter (I believe his name is Will) was on point with us the entire night, and even gave us desert... You're the man Will.
