    We are frequent diners at LaVela and are always happy with the food, service, and atmosphere. Consistency is key. The seafood dishes are superb, as are the pasta dishes. I love the spicy cucumber margarita!!! Thanks so much for supporting the locals year round!

    perfect place for a small ladies night get together to remember a good friend who recently passed, food was top notch and a sweet gentleman at the bar bought us a round once he understood our reason for being there. LaVela always seems to have a very local atmosphere which makes it such a special place :)
