    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.

    All around it’s a great place but the tables for two people are too close together. Don’t get me wrong it’s fine but we could barely talk at the tables we asked to switch to the couch so we could hear each other. The food is good and service is fantastic Bobby was great.

    The place is gorgeous from the moment you enter the establishment. It has a modern Mediterranean feel but very upscale. Our server was great and she offered tips that improved our experience. Food was 10/10 and this spans from the first pita that came out to all the appetizers and entrees. Came with a large group and the family style serving was perfect. Great value for this top quality food and experience. Will be returning with friends or for a date night.
