Our first time dining here was absolutely wonderful. The food was amazing — unique, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. Jess, our server, truly made the evening special. She was warm, attentive, and her thoughtful engagement elevated our entire experience.

A special thank you also to the chef, who went above and beyond by bringing out a few shareable dishes after overhearing that we were celebrating something special. Though I regret not catching his name, that thoughtful gesture made us feel so valued and turned the evening into an unforgettable one.

We are extremely impressed with the level of service, care, and attention to detail — and cannot wait to return!

Went for a dinner to co-celebrate birthdays. Staff was lovely, friendly and attentive. Ambience was calm, refined and relaxing - a true cocktail lounge with great food options. We had the lam and chicken starters and then short ribs and duck for our main plates. Several different cocktails - they were good to modify the drink recipes to accommodate our requests. I would recommend for date night, celebration or spot for a great cocktail. Bit of a hidden gem as nothing is really close by.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Charlotte was a fabulous server and a great vibe! Chimichurri could be better though as it was too mushy.

What a gorgeous restaurant and bar! Went for celebratory drinks after a wedding at the nearby city hall. Could not have asked for better service and wonderful cocktails. Complementary sparkling wine for the bride and groom gave it an extra special touch!
I will definitely be back!

Everything about my anniversary dinner last night was exquisite, from the service to the meal, everything was amazing. Our waitress Reese and the other girls that helped bring food and drinks did a great job! Chef Nathan and the serving staff accommodated us in ways we did not expect! My Ribeye dinner may have been the best I have ever had. Well done guys! Thank you for such a great experience

We went to Lala Social for drinks and to try some food, but overall it was a disappointment.
The Chicken Katsu Skewers were far too oily, and the sauce didn’t pair well with them. The Shimeji Mushroom Skewers were also underwhelming, with very little flavour. The Coal Fired Trout was probably the best dish we had — nicely cooked, though it really could have used a sauce to elevate it. The Dungeness crab pasta was fine, nothing special but decent enough. Dessert, however, was another letdown — the sorbet tasted thin and watery rather than refreshing.
Unfortunately, while the atmosphere was nice for a drink, the food left us unimpressed.
