3 of us got steaks. 1 was cooked as asked, 1 was over cooked and 1 was under cooked. Very tasty apps, drinks and food! Awesome little place!

My husband and I stopped in on rainy evening and boy are we glad we did! Our experience was topnotch all the way. The bartender, Renee, and the server, Hillary, were magical. Hillary even showed us around, answered questions and treated us like guests despite the fact that she wasn’t technically working because she had just been cut. Meanwhile, Renee’s every answer was ‘yes’. Well, alrighty then!
We started our meal by sharing a dozen oysters. This was one of the best values in oysters that I have seen. The price point was so low that honestly I worried about what we would get. Here’s what we got: 12 plump, meaty, oysters. The oysters were a bit bigger than my preference and flavor wise a bit neutral, but that didn’t stop us from finishing them.
Then, I enjoyed a side wedge salad, and I do mean enjoyed! Meanwhile, my husband tucked into a soup. He didn’t say much but he did clean the bowl.
For entrees, I had the ny strip and frites. Kudos to the chef! The steak’s cook and char were spot on. The size was generous. The fries were homemade and plentiful. Let’s just say that my membership in the ‘Clean Plate Club’ remains in good standing.
My husband had the scallop special. He enjoyed that dish as well. I only now realize that we didn’t talk much to each other during the meal, because we were getting to know our neighbors at the bar, including a couple who were there celebrating the wife’s birthday. The birthday girl and her husband were regulars and Labas is where they chose to celebrate. That says something. Our new birthday friends talked us through menu with such care and insight, that I was confident they knew what they were talking about. Seeing so many good folk who regularly spent their hard-earned dollars here…is there possibly any better evidence that Labas is a worthwhile place?
What we enjoyed most of all was the love that Renee and Hillary had for where they worked! Again, that was reflected by the fact that the bar was stocked with regulars who also universally said how much they loved stopping by Labas.
Labas Seafood is owned by the chiropractor whose medical office literally is next door. As in the very next door. I think, but am not sure, that the restaurant and the chiropractic practice are in the same structure or possibly adjoining buildings. Something about that really makes me trust the kitchen even more. Maybe that’s why we gave the oysters a try. lol
Overall, the atmosphere was genuine—genuinely welcoming and genuinely warm. Renee and Hillary were knowledgable, honest, easy to be around, and worthy of the most generous tips we truly could afford!
Thank you to the entire Labas community for sharing your special hidden gem with such kindness!
Cheers!

Good food, a bit pricy for portions, had a couple strange flavors in pasta that weren't expected, couple ants on the seats. But food came fast, food tasted good overarchingly.

Really enjoyed Laba’s. It was our first time and we will be back! One of our new favorites. Food was wonderful, presentation was great. Wine was great too, my husband enjoyed how the flights were served in a tiered holder.

Food and atmosphere was amazing! Our waitress was an absolute delight! My Birthday cheesecake was to die for!
Literally the worst food experience . Great waitress but the chef won't get your steak temp right. And if after 2 tries you say no thanks dont worry about it. They will make u pay for it! Happy dining!
The chef is the owner.

Food was not bad! Had a group of twenty and wouldn’t do separate checks! Didn’t tell us before hand! A problem for some people! Will not go back!

Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!!
Truly a hidden gem of the area. Came here for lunch. The appetizers sounded amazing so we decided to order a couple. Let me just say I haven’t had a good saganaki since my favorite Greek restaurant in Monterey, Ca. Definitely a must order. Can’t recommend it enough. The calamari was fabulous. The star of the show was Delaina our server, bartender. I can’t wait to come back already and catch up with her. She made this a dining experience, not just lunch.
