Lava Kitchen And Bar

Came here with a 15+ large party with a reservation beforehand and so many things felt unacceptable. For me and my partner, it took probably two hours for our order and to come out. This also happened very, very slowly with dishes trickling out one at a time around the table. Some dishes were overly seasoned or had too much salt (notably the fries and seared salmon). It took 10+ min for water after asking for it, and some of us received a plastic to go fork instead of metal utensil. We were seated outside, but their heat lamps were all out of propane for at least an hour before some got delivered. To top it all off, it was not even busy, but felt severely understaffed. One would think knowing ahead of time for a reservation, they would have enough staff to handle.

Quality food authentically Vietnamese and reasonably competitively priced for the made to order. I enjoy the garlic noodles and shake and beef and spring rolls with noodles both be delicious Light show wonderful atmosphere sufficiently loud to appreciate rap music quite entertaining. Responsive very friendly helpful staff always looking out for us. I don't usually go out to party but I had lots of fun

The bartenders need to be quicker and smarter with how they handle their people. I waited a long time for a drink, and i was asked again and again what was that I ordered.. cool spot it just needs some work.
