I had somewhat mixed thoughts about this restaurant. This was a last minute decision to host a customer dinner after a group reception. Someone in the group recommended Lavo as being one of the best restaurants.
I used Open Table to make a last minute reservation for 6. When we arrived, we were seated immediately. The staff was very nice and let us sit where we could talk and still hear each other. Lavo used to be a night club years ago, but they still play loud dance music after 8 pm which was when we were seated.
I had the lobster which was excellent and actually less expensive than the veal parm. I felt I deserved it after a long day. Their mixed drinks are very good. For 6 of us, they included the gratuity of 22%.
