My only critique is the espresso martini needs to be colder. It came out warm. Everything else was perfect!

I was so excited to try the food and this restaurant. It was above my expectations and I was so happy to be celebrating at Laya. Such a beautiful gem! My only complaint- our server Jessica, absolutely horrible. Didn't check on us, we asked her to clear our table 3x and she said it wasn't her job, second round of drinks was late, just unprofessional at its finest.

Really nice restaurant concept. They've done a beautiful job, the vibes are just right. Tabouli salad is must have, it's refreshing and the dressing is done just right. It's amazing how small they were able to dice the tomatoes! Hummus is great. Big fan of goat cheese & Zaatar. Ahi tuna crudo is a must have. I'd recommend getting the batenjan as a side with meats. Lamb was my favorite of all Skewers.
