Good cuisine, indifferent service, misleading menu. The entrees of leek and of egg were original and excellent, but the third, and most desirable entree, the veal tartare, was unavailable by the middle of lunch. Among the entrees the supplement of 12 Euro for the tuna was excessive, especially since the menu posted outside said it would be 8 Euros. The supplement for the cheese course was 12 Euros, for two small pieces of cheese, which were not identified until we inquired..

The entire experience was truly five-star from start to finish. We opted for the tasting menu, and the waitstaff explained each dish in great detail, which really enhanced the experience. It took us on a journey of culinary excellence, the Brussels sprouts were the best I’ve ever had, and the veal tartare was absolutely exceptional. The ambiance of the restaurant was excellent and added greatly to the overall experience. The only small piece of feedback would be that the tables are quite close together. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable experience

The first course of beetroot with a delicious savoury ice cream set expectations very high, but sadly the food went downhill from there. Textures were almost entirely missing and the flavours were just not there. The main course of beef tasted overly bitter, and not from being cooked on an open fire, with a curried squash that was undercooked and with a flavour profile that just didn’t work. Unfortunately the dishes did not improve and the dessert was sadly very poor indeed- lots of different preparations of chocolate but with no distinguishable textures or flavours, leaving just an overly rich goo on the plate. We just did not feel that the food lived up to the expectations we had at all. The service was friendly but they kept forgetting to bring the next glass of wine with each course. I think the price, whilst not extortionate, was definitely excessive for the quality of the food. Genuinely sorry I can’t say better things!
Restaurant LAVAGood afternoon Alex, Thanks for sharing your feelings. We are sorry if our cooking style doesn't fit with your taste and expectations, and sorry as well for the issues with the wine pairing. We give the feedback to all the team and I hope to welcome you again to change your mind! Have a great day,

The most horrid experience I have ever had in a restaurant. I am shocked to say that here were 3 instances with plated food during our meal. I am not familiar with French food standards but there was a small wire approximately 2-2 1/2 inches in length in one plate. A fiber from the brush used to spread butter on the top of the appetizer according to the kitchen. And finally, I just could not believe that is was not intentional, a hair on the dessert plate. I find all of these events so unbelievable that I think this restaurant should be reported to the Health Department and certainly taken off the Michelin Guide.

Bred eas like bakeoff. One dish was so bitter and salty that we disliked it. One dish had no taste and good fish drowned in Black sauce. What Michelin had when they visited we would liketo know.

Nice restaurant with a good wine list and excellent food. But the service was horrible.This was a disappointment to us. The food really deserves better.

The food is amazing, good tasting, perfectly presented. We were just surprised because you have to take 2 dishes to start to be satisfied. I had never seen a place like this. This mean that it costed twice what I was expecting...

The food was not good, the cuts of meat were cheap. The ingredients were not fresh. The only good thing we had was the bread and the second basket they brought out was already cold. This restaurant is not worth the price tag.

Went for New Year's Eve prix fixe dinner, food was mostly tasty, but found my scallops to be a bit more briny than I like - perhaps it's a regional flavor. Really nice atmosphere, friendly service, good wine (although if you're expecting a cocktail have it first elsewhere because they only have wine, which we didn't realize!)

Beautiful food and great service. We only have 2 nights in Paris so took time to chose a restaurant and made a great choice.

Everything was excellent. The steaks were perfectly cooked and the ratatouille was fresh and delicious. The summer salads and tomato gazpacho were as well. A must-visit!
6.0
Friendly, welcoming staff however we found the menu rather limited and quite expensive. We didn't order a starter but received an amuse-bouche of smoked salmon which was very tasty. However when the mains came we were so disappointed with the quality of the food we decided not to bother with dessert.

Excellent food, perfectly cooked + generous portions! Great selection too. Chose the suggestions of the day and was not disappointed. Really friendly and pleasant staff. Only downside is tables are really close to one another so there's a lack of intimacy if you go as a couple. Not a problem if you're 3 people or more. :)
