This was our first reservation for brunch but we’ve had dinners here before. Big difference in terms of service attentiveness and food preparation. Took a while to get drinks - coffee and bar drink, even water refills. Lobster pasta was way too salty. Nice of server to remove from the bill. Compared to dinner, brunch service was slow and honestly sloppy. Not sure I will come back for brunch - nice restaurant setting for brunch but not a pleasant experience

LAVO is one of the best restaurants you can dine at. It is truly the only place where I can say price matches what they have to offer. It is the only place in LA that is consistently good. Spicy calbrese pizza 12/10. Lobster pasta 12/10. Steak 12/10. Can not get enough! MUST VISIT

Food and atmosphere was incredible. Service was not up to expectation and plates arrived all at one time instead of being coursed. Felt rushed.

The place is nice and well decorated however the service was ok and the food was not great at all. We left that restaurant and actually went to a different location to eat. The crudo was very fishy not eatable and the breakfast was bland. Would not come back unfortunately
