I invitated a friend to come with me and have semi-lunch buffet at LaVilla. The place is cozy and can face a sea-view, the restaurant have outdoor area if you prefer or if you want to have a cigarette. The semi-lunch buffet menu have appetizer and dessert couse for your choice. In addition, the menu have three main course for your selection if you want. But we decide to skip our main course and only have 2 courses.
We have French bread toast before we start. The bread was warm, the olive paste was a bit salty. The appetizer have few selection of vegetables and cold meat, tuna slices, smoked tuna, tomatoes and some small bowls of japanese starter (jelly fish and crab meat salad). The table also have some different sauces, dressings. I like Parmesan Cheese, Croutons and Bacon bites to make into Caesar. I would like to suggest to put all the dressing and accompaniment which is nearby the vegetables, as I forgot to bring the sauce on my first round.
I spend much of my time on appetizer, the food was fresh, light and tasty. This is suitable for someone who like less meat and more vegetables and salad. The food was quickly refill by kitchen staff. But they seems to be understaff on restaurant side, so we need to ask for water refill and wait to collect dirty plate.
On the dessert, the price was include a dessert from kitchen, today we have bananna pancake, it taste nothing special. My friend comment pana cotta was too sweet. I would prefer have some fresh fruits and sorbet. The lime and raspberry sorbet is cool and very refreshing. The cake and dessert on the table is very common and not attractive to me, there is a room for further improvement.
Overall the food and service was satisfactory and the price for semi-buffet is $108. It is worth to try again next time.
