Lafolia

Hidden underground spot near E 48th Amazing drinks. Romeo and Amina is a great bartender with great personalities . We were greeted by the host, she is lovely. Food is delicious farm to table style. I would say delicious clean/ healthy food. My personal favorites is the chicken Thigh with wild rice and the steak, burger and cauliflower from the sides. Service was nice casual and friendly. Oh the Decor is is just beautiful and spacious. Great HH Deal

Beautiful setting but disrespectful hostess. Ordered take out and both hostess and server were unwelcoming and unprofessional, making me feel uncomfortable throughout. Waited over 40 min after scheduled pick up time and the frustrated servers insinuated that I should be “grateful for receiving the food, considering the price I was paying”. This remark was not only disrespectful but also highlighted a lack of appreciation for the customers. It is disheartening to encounter such dismissive and condescending behavior from the staff. As a paying customer, I expect to be treated with respect and courtesy regardless of the amount I am spending. Such comments are completely unacceptable and contributed to my overall negative experience at Lafolia. I strongly urge management to address this issue promptly and ensure that all staff members are trained to provide professional and respectful service to their customers. No customer should ever be made to feel unworthy or unappreciated based on their spending capacity.

The room is gorgeous - with comfortable furnishing and calm lighting. From the first contact with the Greeter to the Wait staff and the bar tenders you feel welcome. I was with a group of musicians - The food was delicious and reasonably priced. It is a little oasis of nice, in the middle of midtown. Thank you Tiffany and Mirra!

This is a hidden gem in Midtown East. Really great vibes and interior design. The food and cocktails are top quality to say the least. Got taken care of at the bar by true professionals Amina and Roman.

Cool space! But the food wasn’t extra ordinary and was over priced. Interesting concept and the staff were super friendly!

Stellar experience dining at Lafolia. Each dish is well conceptualized and executed — I dreamt about their lentil soup after the fact, that’s how great it was. The salt and vinegar potatoes also made for a perfect snack. They had a versatile menu for all dietary restrictions. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! The bar staff are all fantastic, friendly, creative, and 100 percent know what they are doing and strive to and succeed in providing exceptional service. The cocktails are very creative and the wine selection is lovely. Their happy hour deals are spectacular, but prices are reasonable even outside of happy hour. Stop everything you are doing, and pay Lafolia a visit.

My father was the Executive Chef at the Waldorf Astoria back in the 1950's so I grew up on good food and I felt compelled to leave the best accolades I could find for Lafolia. Here it goes: We went to Lafolia with a group of 8 people and all 8 of us were thrilled with the service (nicest waiter and fast), the food, the prices (incredibly reasonable!) and the ambiance. We had meze plates as an appetizer and the hummus was smoky and very flavorful. The flatbread was so good I thought of placing and order to go so I could have it at home too. I ordered a side of roasted mushrooms and the Gem Salad - oh my just thinking of the mushrooms with the miso sauce and cheese makes my mouth water. They were in a clay pit and baked to perfection. Truly excellent. Let's talk about service and hospitality: Because my order of mushrooms came out ever so slightly late (like 5 minutes after my meal), they brought me a complimentary plate of exquisitely cooked asparagus with a delicious sauce - now that's hospitality! The bill was truly very, very reasonable. We all left very content. I loved this place and highly recommend it for couples, a party, a group for business, or even dining alone.

I recently ordered take out at La Folia and although the ambience was pleasant, the service left a lot to be desired. The staff was rude and unaccommodating, telling us that we were getting too much for what we were paying. I felt that the service lacked respect and could benefit from taking classes on hospitality. Overall, while the food was decent, the service made for a less than enjoyable dining experience.
