Great location, good parking, clean, perfect cheesesteak place and a very accommodating owner. We went straight in on standard Philly Cheesesteaks, and gotta say - they were stellar. In fact, I liked the Cheesesteak here better than the one at Delco's, which is rated as one of the very best in the Tampa area. They've got the Philly staples like egg and peppers, as well as burgers and dogs. Great selection of sodas and Italian ice, as well as really nice seating options outdoors. Highly recommend!

Very simple and straight to the point Phillies. You select your cheese of choice. Make it a platter for $2 more. I will say the word "platter" is deceptive as it's only a small side of bland fries. Drinks are sold separately. They offer sodas and beers. Awesome customer service despite the lackluster in food. I like the interior diner style decor. There's indoor/outdoor seating. Definitely a place to grab a quick bite before or after downtown shenanigans.

The pulpo was a nice thick tentacles and so tender to the bite. Was topped with a salad with flavors and cilantro and mint and other herbs that just spiked up the flavors. The paella full of seafood delights and with a nice and not to strong masala seasoning. We also had a bottle of wine that pairs nicely with the meal. We also had a dirty Pulpo. And a pisco drink. So refreshing smooth flavors. It is a little pricey but if they was some light in the dollar options. Specifically maybe more appetizer options would be nice.

We made it just in time for happy hour which turned out to be a great deal, $1 oysters, $5 oyster shooters, $10 smash burgers, $10 frozen cocktails (espresso martini was so yum!) and many more options.

After a very slow service start, things did get better, and we finally had our order in. Started with Hush Puppies, which usually I adore, but these were a bit too garlicky and bready for me, and not crunchy enough. I did love my shrimp basket, though. I was able to get the shrimp blackened, and they were cooked perfectly, and the remoulade dipping sauce was tasty. While the little scoop of coleslaw was just meh, the french fries too were outstanding. I would definitely eat here again if I were in the area.

We didn't have any food for Sunday there was no food available today…read more We came here for wine - they had two bottles of red, 3 bottles of white (no French or Italian) to choose from. They don't really know wine yet they are excited to learn. We selected one red California (just okay) and 1 Italian Montepulciano (good). The bottle shop on the other side got our attention. We were impressed with their selection yet small- they had a bottle of wine you can no longer get/ its not available (we were impressed). Service- everyone was very nice & accommodating. Warehouse style, great for groups, bring your friends. We liked the music. Have your party here!

This is my 2nd time visiting LALA in St Pete and had a blast! Went with a large group on a Sunday…read morefor brunch (reservation made a couple days beforehand) and we all enjoyed it. I ordered the chicken and waffles as I wanted a bit of savory and sweet. I meant to ask for the berry compote on the side, but forgot. However, the berry compote on top of the waffles was actually pretty nice and added to the meal. I also ordered the Black Truffle Mac and Cheese. Me and my friend ordered that last time and we chowed down, it was DELICIOUS! Perfectly cooked, thick, yummy cheese, and great amount of flavor. The big draw for my group is the open karaoke! On Sundays, LALA offers open karaoke in the main restaurant from 1-4 pm. There's a small stage at the front of the restaurant. It's free, you just add your name to the list. There usually isn't a long wait to sing. The last couple of times, my party was able to sing several times. Each time, the list was short, so the same people kept going up to sing again and again. It's a very fun environment. We had Patrick as a server this time - he was very patient and really attentive. It's not a huge restaurant inside (but still good amount of seating) and everyone I've come across from staff to patrons have been amazing. Great stop to visit if you're checking out St Pete! LALA is located in a great area, right in the middle of Central Ave. Would absolutely recommend a brunch here if you're looking for something fun and different but also still a bit laid back. There's so many little shops and venues to check out along Central Ave if you're still wanting to keep the party going.

We started with the seacuterie board (seafood board), which was fantastic, and the charred octopus, and asparagus which were delicious! To be honest, everything we tried was flavorful and beautifully prepared. And the drinks... We had the Pink Flamingo, Old Fashioned, and Espresso Martini, and every single one was delicious. They definitely know how to make a great cocktail! The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and welcoming--and the ambiance made the whole experience even better. It has such a great vibe and is the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy yourself, and make an evening out of it. Amazing food, delicious cocktails, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. LALA gave us the full experience, and we will absolutely be back for the karaoke night. Highly recommend!

Taste wise, nothing really hit home. Very bland. The best part of the turkey was the overbearing fig jam. The Italian is not recommended. Not much Brooklyn about it.

It was so good. I had the Chorizo Verde Tacos which was soooo good that I ate all 3. I ordered a side of home fries but I didn't even need them.

My sister ordered a pistachio drink and I got the pornstar martini and they both were delicious. Our server Sam was great. To eat we ordered the street corn croquetas, the tuna tostadas, the green chickpea samosas and then the Chipotle Roasted Snapper entree. Our favorites were the street corn croquetas and the Chipotle Roasted Snapper. They both had a perfect mix of flavors. The tuna tostadas were good but we didn't like the Smokey flavor with it. The green chickpea samosas were okay, not great in our opinion. Overall, I enjoyed my time here and would come back if I was in the area again.
