Food and service was excellent. The snapper ceviche was one of the best ceviches we have had anywhere. All the flavours of our dishes from the 3 types of seafood crudo to the roasted vegetables to the various fish and oyster dishes had well balanced flavours and everything was very fresh. We are looking forward to our next dinner here.

Went for 5 year anniversary, was given a glass of prosecco each. Server allowed us our space and didn’t rush us out when we finished eating. She was very pleasant. The food was great, my lamb was cooked to order and everything was reasonable quality and portions. I’d recommend for a nicer dinner or special occasion for sure.

Lavidas is not a new fancy place; but they've done what they can to make it nice for their guests. It appears clean and reasonably kept up. The server is a very pleasant person who remembers my favourite drink and is sincerely happy to have my wife and I back as guests. The menu isn't big, but it doesn't have to be, as everything on it suits me just fine. Beef, duck, seafood pasta, muscles, etc. and plenty of good appetizers, are all exquisitely well prepared and are as good as any top restaurant in flavour. The portions are plenty enough to be able to take some home; but it's difficult to do when one is enjoying one's meal that much. The value is absolutely unbeatable! Never mind the decent prices for everything, they have an appetizer, main, and dessert package for a crazy reasonable price. Enjoy!

    I absolutely enjoyed our entire experience dining here for my daughter's birthday.They helped make her day magical and very special. The best chowder that I have had the pleasure of enjoying in decades! Our server was phenomenal and knowledgable all while being friendly. I am so sad to hear that they are closing soon as I only just discovered them. I truly hope I will have an opportunity to visit again before the shut their doors for good. Thank you for such a great afternoon! :)

    Food is amazing. We drove from Seattle when we heard about this place and it was worth the drive. Authentic maharashtrian food. We had lunch at the Westminster location one day before and the next we had food at this location. Everything that we tried, Vada-paav, Kothimbeer vadi, sabudana vada, misal paav, pithala-bhakari with thecha, shrikhand-puri, basundi, puran poli, was very very tasty! Highly recommend it.
