I let her know it was two of us and she cleared a table for us. There seemed to be a two bartenders and a waitress working. We sat waited for a while and we ended up leaving. No menus no acknowledgment after she knew we had walked in and had been there for a while. She was at the table next to us talking to what seemed like a friend maybe, taking selfies. Seems like they have good drink options but we never had a chance to order def don't think we will be back maybe they have enough people come in where customer service isn't a priority.

This one has a bit more of a "party" vibe to it than Campbell and most of the seating is outdoors, but the food and service were just as good. I had a great cocktail and glass of wine to go with my pasta. We have never been disappointed with a meal at Locanda.

We were seated promptly on the patio, which was great and kid-friendly--but everything after that was disappointing. It took over an hour to get our food, and when it arrived, it was cold . Our salad came after the entrees, no one checked on us, and we were left with empty water glasses and missing condiments. We have toddlers and there was no sense of urgency or care. No one asked us if we were ok or checked on us after we got our food. Our server was very nice but she admitted she was "slammed" and apologized and said they were busy and under staffed. We spoke to the manager, Mitch, he was dismissive, gave no eye contact, when speaking to us and acted like we were bothering him when sharing our experience. He blamed it on a "busy Friday night,". Busy will NEVER be an excuse I accept . Aren't all restaurants "busy " on Friday nights?Shame on the management here I encourage them to get proper training with customer service standards. I've had great experiences at Locanda in Lafayette, but this location fell far below our expectations. We won't be back

Anyway. Definitely worth a look but service is hit or miss.

We had a family & friends birthday party luncheon in the Lounge Room for forty people. We asked…read morethat the tables be set up in a very particular way, one round of ten and others six to eight. They happily accommodated. Given our table map, the room was a bit cozy for forty but no problem for the waitstaff. The room itself is private, lots of windows, big buffet table and wine area, so it was all good. Waitstaff and venue were great, but what made the event special was the very high quality of the food: gourmet shrimp appetizer, flatbread, salad, chicken kabob, filet mignon kabob (no exaggeration), and Oasis salmon, plus rice, asparagus, mashed potatoes, chocolate mousse cake for dessert, coffee, tea, sodas. AND... they sent our family home with the leftover food, quite a lot that we've polished off since. Charge was $69 per person, three kids counted as one person for a special pizza, 20% service, tax, poured wines from a reasonably priced wine list. Total bill came to $4,000. So... Five stars. And whatever we asked for, Efren and Sadaf said, "No problem," and it wasn't. THANKS to Oasis!

The restaurant was clean and very cozy. It's an elegant restaurant worth going back to. Which I'm planning to do so I can try the meat dishes that looked really good. See you soon!

I loved the entry way like and old italian villa with palm trees. Service was nice and the staff attentive but not bothersome. We did a tasting and then I bought a bottle for my cousin and I to share and for one to take home which we eventually shared too lol! The seating area is comfy and has views of the winery and where they make the wine. Totally cool out door seating that was full but not so close that you feel tight. The wine was nice and my cousin gets to pick as she knows more about me in regards to wine and I trust her choices. She is like my sister so I trust her. We both liked what we got and what we got to taste. Overall we both Liked Rubino and we would go again. Highly recommend visit if you like a nice intimate place, beautiful sights and awesome wine.

Great back patio, delicious menu…read more My husband and I popped by for a late lunch on a Friday, and their back patio was almost full. We ordered their Brusselsprouts and short rib sandwich to share and the proportions were perfect, just enough food and we didn't leave a morsel behind. Their short rib sandwich was heavenly and the chimichurri sauce plus grilled peppers elevated the experience. If you're torn about ordering a full shareable of the habanero fries, here's an insider tip: we asked for a side of their habanero sauce to go with our side of fries so we would still have enough room for their short rib sandwich! Their sprouts were phenomenal. Loved the sweat punch added by the cranberries and shaved carrots to balance the charr of the brussels. Will 1000% be returning to check out their dinner menu. I haven't had a milanesa since I was in Argentina, but I trust Brava to meet the assignment!

The place is pretty small, but then you walk to the back and there's a large covered patio, and a small uncovered patio. It's very charming with various plants giving the outdoors a garden vibe. Most of the team was late by about 30 minutes for our reservation due to a prior meeting running long. The host was gracious enough to hold our reservation until everyone arrived. We started with some appetizers of Crispy Cauliflower, Habanero Fries, and Empanada Trio. They were all very yummy and were served with various dipping sauces. The empanadas had a nice crispy pastry and flavorful filling. I had the Salmon eggs benedict and really enjoyed it. The salmon was smokey, but the eggs could have been just a tad runnier. The salad that came with the dish was really fresh and I really enjoyed the slightly sweet dressing. I was really impressed by how quickly our dishes came out considering the size of our group (12). Overall, a nice meal with excellent service.

Every drink felt thoughtfully made rather than rushed. Service was excellent across the board. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and knowledgeable, which already set a great tone for the night. But Kana absolutely made the experience unforgettable. We found out she's been involved in creating many of the cocktails, and wow, her passion and talent really shine through. She was incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely personable, and went above and beyond by crafting a custom drink based on the flavors we mentioned. It ended up being one of the best cocktails we've had anywhere. We've officially found our new favorite date night spot. The vibe is intimate, cozy, stylish, and perfect for an evening out. Highly recommend The Black Cat to anyone who appreciates exceptional cocktails and great service.
