Enjoy your favorites daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner and enjoy brunch every Saturday and Sunday. Reservations highly encouraged. Ocean View Terrace seating IS NOT GUARANTEED and will be given to GUESTS PRESENT for their reservation based on what is AVAILABLE AT THE TIME.

    Other than the view, the food and service were subpar. Especially for the VERY high cost. Everything looked and tasted as though it had been left out for hours. All the tea sandwich bread and pastries were either stale or mushy.  We had to flag down a server to have tea refilled and to ask for a half glass refill on the champagne. its was all more than underwhelming and disappointing.

    We went there on a busy night and I guess they ran out of the shrimp pasta dish so they served us the kids pasta and threw 4 shrimp on top. They charged us $50 for it. Don’t go to this place, they are dishonest and think their customers are stupid.

    I love the beautiful Christmas decorations La V has each year. The service was wonderful— real old-fashioned courtesy— and ambience was very nice, if a little noisy. Tablecloths would dampen the noise. My only issue is that La V has has the same lunch menu for ages. It’s time for a change.
