This was possibly the best food I've ever eaten. The Laibela special feeds 4 people easily (3 if I'm there with you). Every bite was a new flavor and I'm so full and happy!

Something very homey and inviting about the atmosphere -- as soon as you walk in, you want to stay awhile. The room is relaxing. The server is gracious and attentive. And then you get the food!...

Good food. I liked the veggie more than the meat dishes. They did not have chicken. Had the lamb (okay) and beef (not good). The service was extraordinary. Its a small place. Street parking.
