Lela offers a memorable dining experience with expertly crafted cocktails and a top-notch ambiance. The service is attentive, although there may be initial hiccups with table assignments. Reservations are recommended, but diners should be prepared for a possible wait upon arrival.
The food at Lela is delicious, with scallops, roasted chicken, and desserts like Crème Brûlée and molten cake à la mode highly recommended. The restaurant's attention to gluten-free restrictions is praised, and the bread, pasta, and sauces are commended for their exceptional flavors. The wine pairings are also well-received.
Lela's open concept creates a festive atmosphere, though some may find it a bit loud. During busier times, such as restaurant week, the restaurant may be more crowded than usual. While the food is generally excellent, with well-executed dishes like the braised short rib and seared swordfish, some diners have noted minor issues with overcooking. Overall, Lela offers a great dining experience with a reasonable price point.
