    It's my fourth time at this restaurant. The first time, I felt it was mediocre. Every occasion since has been better than the previous. The food is interesting and unique with an Italian flair. The service, except the first time, has been awesome -- the servers have been pleasant, warm, and very knowledgeable about their products.

    Layla was a real treat for my birthday dinner. Pretty much every server and host wished me a happy birthday, and they left a beautiful card and gave me complimentary strawberry sorbet (I’m dairy free) that was SO good. Every dish had a little something that made it exciting. Portions were reasonable, and every wine on the “by the glass” list was SO good! I’d definitely return.

    The staff was amazing. From the time we entered, we were led to a quiet area as requested in our reservation. There was a large noisy crowd in the bar area, but where we were sat, it was lovely and quiet. The server was lovely and didn't push us through our time. I had my small dog with us and the manager brought to the table a special dog "care kit", with treats, toys, even a collapsable bowl that they filled with water. The entire evening was splendid, good cocktails, delicious food, and caring staff. Bravo!
