    Second time going to Laya, and it was exceptional (as was the first time!). Excellent upscale Lebanese food, with ambiance to match. Bravo Charbel and team! Can't wait to go back.

    Fantastic Levantine cuisine, the Mezze are unrivalled, and the fresh light as air pita keeps coming. Warm service. Only issue was loud music (which I think they turned down a smidge after I asked). For those who have been to Zaytinya in DC, this is a similarly warm and delicious experience.

    I had never been to this restaurant. We were atending a play a few blocks away and this restaurant looked very interesting. We were so pleased with our choice! We were welcomed very warmly and shown our table. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely marvelous! We only wished we lived closer so that we could go to this restaurant regularly. But we live almost 2 hours away during rush-hour and it would be difficult.
