I've heard a few people talk highly of Lela, but it just wasn't my experience. Nothing was disastrously wrong, it simply wasn't worth the money for me.

Very nice dining room, bar area looks great for hhour. We were there for dinner for RW, but also early enough for hhour so server made sure we got the better of each deal. Food was delicious and service was top-notch. Hhour looks like it could be a great deal. This restaurant is definitely on our revisit list!

In short it was fantastic. Sea bass, scallops, crab cake, steak, kids spaghetti. All dishes were awesome. They have homemade pasta and I tried some of the spaghetti and will be getting pasta next time. Purple Bulleit is pictured and was good too!

Stayed the night at the hotel and dined in for breakfast as well as ordered room service for dinner. The ambiance was stunning but it was clear that the staff was sparse. This was okay for the most part because there was barely any patrons to begin with.The breakfast was okay rather dry for my liking. The portions and the taste did not match the excessive prices. The dinner Icould not finish. The noodles tasted excessively oily and left me with a unpleasant feeling in my stomach.
