I originally gave LP 5 stars when I came for a few drinks and an appetizer. But I have to re-review.
I still stand by my OG statement that the shrimp and grit tots are bomb, but for the rest of the food, let's just say don't show up hungry.
I went back with a group of 7, we all put our order in at the same time, the ones who put their full order in were lucky. For me and a few others we only put in apps. I ordered the BBQ cauliflower as an app and was planning on putting in something more after I had more time to look over the menu. I wanted to try so many things!
We hadn't received our food yet, but the server came back and said they weren't taking anymore food orders. She implied that we will probably get our food but it will take awhile. So a liquid diet it was - for the time being. The Drinks were pretty good, they just took a while to come out. We ordered shots and was told 30 mins after that they didn't have what we wanted. They brought over something else, we didn't want it but just took it anyway.
My entire table eventually got their food, I did not get my cauliflower bites and I was told they weren't coming. I watched a food runner glared eyed and confused with an order of cauliflower bites in their hand give them to a table who repeatedly said they didn't order that.
So I had to sit and watch the rest of my party eat while giving them puppy dog eyes, hoping they'd offer to share. Thankfully my friends let me scrounge off their plates, so i did get to eat some things. The Burrata salad was very small, basically a ball of cheese with a few pieces of lettuce and crackers, (Can't speak on taste, didn't try it). The falafel was dry and needed a lot of sauce. The spicy tuna is small and basically like a sushi dip. I thought this was delicious, just needed more chips. Oysters were delicious.
They kept seating people, which was just self sabotage at that point. A little tip: tell people you are not serving food before you seat them. Communication is key, a hospitality group of this size should know that.
Overall the experience was a buzz kill, everyone wanted to just go home shortly after. If you're looking for food, go somewhere else and just come for drinks. They are too big of a place with too small of a kitchen and need to workout the kinks. $400 later, the whole thing felt like a waste.
Giving 3 stars because the first experience was great, the view is awesome and our server was very nice.
