Lavi Byob - Ardmore

We arrived for our 7:00 reservation to find that the restaurant was only half full. We inquired about a corkage fee for bringing our own beer, but they never brought the drinks we requested, so we ended up not having them. We ordered only main dishes, and it took 40 minutes for our food to arrive. We also had to ask multiple times for water. Additionally, we had a Groupon credit that they refused to accept. When the bill arrived, they charged us a $4.00 corkage fee, even though we didn't end up using it. We didn't notice the erroneous charge until we got home. Overall, we cannot recommend this restaurant; it has been open long enough to provide better service.

I had a disappointing experience for the second time. I hoped the first visit was just a fluke since the location is so convenient, but I was taken aback by the lack of professionalism. Even though it’s a casual place, the prices suggest otherwise.

We had a lovely brunch for Mother's Day. It felt just like dining at mom's house. Great value!

Eating was excellent. the day of the mother was not disappointed. the place is rather small bc it was buffet style for motherday, we never knew who our server was. we had to ask random server to bring everything we needed. overall, eating was great. just a bar restaurant.

This was our second visit to Lavi. The first time we went we didn’t have a waitress come to our table to even offer us water for over 20 minutes. So we finally had to go talk to the hostess. However, all the food we ordered was very good. This time the service was bad in a different way. We felt rushed when the waitress cleared plates while some of us were still eating, and she also asked us about dessert before we were all finished with dinner. We were the last table in there and it was only about 9:45 and they started mopping the floors around us! They changed the menu too and there were a lot of unhealthy options. My fish was also overly spicy . My husband had a delicious fried tofu dish the first time we dined here, but this time the tofu entree was plain and bland. Our friend did seem to enjoy the fried chicken and waffles. Also this time they charged a corkage fee which didn’t exist the last time we came. In a nut shell, I don’t think we’ll be back here any time soon!
