    The all you can eat brunch is worth it. The food selection is wonderful and tastes so good. You get to sir back and relax while being served delicious food, best of all, all you can eat oysters.

    I went to the Endless Buffet with a group of 8. The service was very slow. The coffee was cold. My first request was fettuccine and a salad. Everyone was finished with their first dish long before my fettuccine arrived. The salad finally arrived at the end as we were finishing up dessert. This was by far the worst dining experience during our week in Vegas.

    Traveling and thought we’d try for something a little nicer being they offer Italian and steak options. Atmosphere was decent, we were seated in at a two top that was bench seating one side and Regis hair on the other. Bench side was so low I felt like I was sitting in a hole and was a kid at the adult table and I’m a 5’9” female.‘can’t imagine if I was shorter. Very loud environment with a DJ playing which was odd for a restaurant, my husband and I had a hard time talking plus we were so close to the next tables we were competing with their conversations. I ordered the lasagna and my husband had chicken Parmesan. Food was decent but nothing to rave about and felt we’ve had better elsewhere. I could only eat half of my meal and my husband had some leftover as well. One of the server assistants cleared our table and we explained we wanted both boxed up but when we brought our boxes back only my husbands food was in the bag therefore the employee discarded mine (half of the lasagna!). He didn’t speak much English so I’m not sure if he didn’t understand or what the issue was. I didn’t bother mentioning it to the regular server and I didn’t want to cause a scene and we had to catch a flight very early the next morning so I doubt I would have ate it but it was the principal of it. All in all it is a decent place but I would not be rushing back.

    Service was very bad. They texted to the wrong cell and forgot about us. Then made us wait again. After asking for a status. The waiter was clueless. Pasta was not cooked enough. Music is so loud you can barley talk and hear your date.

    Very nice staff, made good recommendations. Convenient for us still we were staying at Palazzo. Kids loved the pizza and penne with vodka sauce. We loved the sea bass. Meatball was huge and delicious. They knew we were headed to a concert and got us out with plenty of time without making us feel rushed.

    The entire experience was great. The restaurant itself has a great feel and was very romantic. The service was great and our waitress was very energetic and helpful with the menu and suggestions. The food itself was delicious and the portion sizes were quite good. My fiancé and I each had an entree and shared an appetizer and it was plenty of food. Would recommend

    Delicious dishes! But too much, servings were giant, & we could only eat half. Such a shame to waste great food. My appetizer, eggplant parmesean should have been an entree, since it could have fed 2-3! The negative note of the evening was that the entire restaurant was very loud, so loud that we had a hard time hearing/talking to each other. On top of the poor acoustics, there was blaring rock n roll music playing IN the restaurant, which was not only not appropriate, it added another level of way-too-loud everything to the large room. Not an enjoyable evening at all.......

    I never like providing negative reviews, but last night's dinner deserves one. We had a 5:45 pm reservation to beat the crowds. We wanted a light meal because we were going to a musical that evening. We ordered the garlic bread appetizer and seafood louies. We waited at least 45 minutes for the salads to arrive. Meanwhile other tables were served. Our server assured us our food was on the way. When an assistant manager stopped by to offer to top off our wine, we complained. We were ready to leave and look for food elsewhere when the order finally arrived 15 minutes later, delivered by an apologetic server who said the manager would come by. He never did. We were never offered any compensation (dessert? Another glass of wine?). The food was fine, but the experience was ruined by the inexcusable delay. We've enjoyed our meals at Lavo in the past but doubt we will return in the future.

    Our reservations were for 7pm, but we didn’t get seated until 7:20. The table next to us was seated at the same time. They received their meal within 10 minutes, but both our salads and entrees were given to the wrong table. Food was good, but the service was mediocre at best. For the price I expected higher quality service.

    My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by LAVO. We were seated about 15 mins after our reservation time so I started out skeptical but the food more than made up for the wait. The waiter recommended an amazing drink to which I asked for it non-alcoholic. They have non-alcoholic options and this one was NOT on that list. He asked and I was able to enjoy this AMAZING drink without the alcohol. The garlic bread appetizer with the dipping sauces were probably the best thing we ate all trip. The spaghetti and meatballs were very tasty - nothing super crazy special but very good. The brussel sprouts were also amazing. A little loud but the minus the noise, great ambiance. Price was very reasonable. We will definitely be back!

    My husband and I went to LAVO for a “mom and dad date night”. Our server was AMAZING! He explained what kind of drinks we asked for and presented them in an awesome manner. He was so personable and friendly. We were seated outside and they were quick to place a heater near us to keep warm. I could not speak more highly of the service! Our food was also amazing, the portions were larger than we thought we would get which was great for the next day. Overall, our experience was worth taking some time to ourselves to reconnect.

    3 Mean girl scowling hostesses. We came 10 minutes early. 10 tables open. Made us wait. When I asked at 7:13 if it was possible to be seated I was told no not until 7:15. We’re taken to one of the open tables. After dinner we were followed out of the restaurant by top mean girl who harassed us asking if we had a bad experience. She was rude again. Shrimp was good. Pasta mediocre. She made us so uncomfortable and unwelcomed. We are foodies who won’t be back.
