LA ROYAL

Interesting food/drinks (tuna sashimi was a standout) with lots of flavors. Unfortunately the service left to be desired (& truthfully I never thought I’d be the type of person to notice)… After being seated & reviewing the menu for an extended period of time, our waiter came over and simply asked “Are you ready to order?” No hellos, no welcome, no explaining the menu. No one asked if I was interested in a second drink (even after finishing my first before our entrees were served). Truthfully quite surprising evening, I’m happy we checked it out but am not dying to go back

This was perfect! We came here for a dinner and were seated at the bar. My suggestion is to make a reservation in advance, we called a day earlier for a working day. The place is Peruvian, offering great wine selection, and fabulous food. Most dishes are sea food based. The staff is very friendly, and the entire place is very up-beat. I strongly recommend for a romantic dinner!

Packed house on a Saturday night. Gorgeous room. Service friendly but maybe understaffed during dinner rush - we were scurried to our table without much of a welcome and orders were taken briskly. In any case the drinks and food were great. Scallops au gratin were succulent. Duck breast was wonderfully tender although the cilantro rice was soggy and a bit bland. Branzino was awesome. Beware the room can get almost unbearably noisy - on top of the loud music we were unfortunately sandwiched between a group of six and a group of three - essentially had to lean on and shout across the table with my companion. I'd come back to try the rest of the menu but maybe at lunch time or a weekday night.

Friends brought us to LA Royal to enjoy dinner on their anniversary. I was very impressed with this restaurant. The staff were all very attentive to us and the other diners. Our server was Evan, he was very friendly, knowledgeable and just seemed very happy we were there. Evan was engaging and helped us with the menu choices. A very nice guy to be sure. I was a bit lost with the menu but Evan didn't rush us.

The food:
Superb. We all shared our dishes with each other to enjoy the variety offered. I ordered an Alpaca burger. You'd think a place like this would've not had a burger but this was no ordinary burger.. They didn't give ketchup with the burger but it did include a small bowl of some dip. I didn't use that but started on the burger as it was. HOLY COW!! This was the BEST burger I've ever had (and I've had a lot of burgers in my time). Sooo tasty, sweet even. I can't do it justice. The appetizers were fantastic, everyone's food was top notch.
Drinks were all interesting and tasty. We also ordered a pitcher of brewed purple corn? That was a unique taste.

The total for the 4 of us was about $250 give or take. That's pretty normal for the four of us. There was a 3% gratuity to the kitchen workers which they definitely deserved.

All in all it was a super night, definitely worth a return trip!!

Amazing every single time!! The food is TOP NOTCH!! As you can see - i’ve taken so many pictures of the cocktails - they might be the star! Get the mezcal margarita - ask for it spicy!! All the pisco drinks are incredible! The mezcal Negroni is really strong - strong flavors - if you like that - go for that too! You can’T go wrong! Highlights from our most recent meal there: grilled octopus potato terrine, arugula and watercress salad, the cod, the mussels with shrimp and squid are just incredible!! Celebrated my birthday there yesterday - great place for a celebration! And great service!
