"Four of us ordered drinks, and while prices for a glass of wine ranged from $10 to $13, which isn't unusual, it still felt excessive given the overall experience. The salads were drenched in dressing, featuring mushy red lettuce that was unappetizing. We held out hope that the main courses would redeem the meal. However, our waitress took far too long to check on us. When our dinners finally arrived, I ordered a pasta dish that was simply terrible: the portion was far too small, it was over-seasoned, overly spicy, and definitely not enough for any adult. Others at the table felt similarly disappointed—everyone's portions were surprisingly small and unappetizing. To add insult to injury, they ran out of dessert and served us last-minute cotton candy. We've dined at five-star Italian restaurants across the globe—in NYC, Chicago, LA, and abroad—and this was the absolute worst experience we've had. After finishing our meal, I inquired about the owner, only to find the restaurant nearly empty, with just two other tables occupied. He didn't have the courtesy or class to check on his customers or ask for feedback. One of our guests is an editor for a restaurant review magazine, and I can only wonder what kind of write-up they’ll produce—if they even bother to feature this place. The pasta was overcooked and cold—how do you mess up pasta? The ambiance felt like a pretentious LA imitation that ruined authentic Italian dishes with misguided flourishes. It was an outright insult to Italian cuisine. The bill came to around $50 per person—well, make that $60, considering I had to stop by a burger place around the corner afterward, as I left feeling hungry."

"i’ve been coming to lacuna for over two years now and this little gem is definitely one of my favorite places to be. i’m not much of a review-writer, but when i feel passionately about places (good or bad , i get inspired.as someone who leads an alcohol-free lifestyle, it is SO nice having this option to unwind and create some art, relax, or hang out with friends. i’ve truly made so many wonderful connections through lacuna that i will cherish for a lifetime!it’s also a great place to get work done. i work remote, so i spend a good majority of my week here at my second office ; the BOGO happy hour deal comes in clutch.i think it’s really great that there is a mix of events now too, not just strictly DJ’s performing 6-7 nights a week. (although i do absolutely love the nights when there’s a DJ as well ! the variety of events is great; chess tournaments, community coloring, workshops, recovery groups, massages, yoga etc. there’s been a lot of engaging activities that i enjoy attending or participating in.i feel like lacuna has become a lot stronger in both the workspace and community-front in the last year or so too. the kavatenders all have such a warm and positive energy and always make me feel special when i come in. it’s nice seeing management interacting with customers and staff more too. it’s nice overhearing the positive feedback from management to staff (or staff to staff , and hearing the conversations that the staff members have with guests. there just seems to be a lot more connection overall. lacuna is growing and glowing for sure. <3the price increase is a bit of a bummer, but in a time with inflation… what can you really do? i personally TRUST lacuna with their product and that’s what keeps me coming back. i know they put both quality and care into their products and it really reflects. it can be a pretty penny if you’re getting multiple drinks, but fancy craft cocktails at a regular bar can be the same way. plus, my points add up so quickly i get pretty frequent discounts with their reward system. it’s not the end of the world!i appreciate the subtle changes in the bar layout and decor too. even the little things keep it feeling fresh and a little new each time you come in.the *only* “negative” thing i have to say about the space is that it can be difficult to order a drink or close out a tab sometimes. there’s rushes and it gets busy, but sometimes it feels as if one staff member just isn’t enough during these times. sometimes there’s not a lot of communication about this either between staff and people trying to close out, but i’ve been coming here for awhile now so i know what to expect. if you’re in a time crunch, just give yourself a little buffer or cushion of time to get closed out (or order to go right off the bat and close out immediately .all things considered, though, 5 stars all the way around! lacuna is an ever-evolving, ever-growing spot and i’m excited to see what the future looks like for you guys! : bulaaaa!!!!"
