The first time I experienced this restaurant was on Jamaican independence day Aug.6th 2025 and I will be going back tonight with family. There will be a DJ tonight. The food i had on August 6th was: I started off on the patio with the Calaloo soup...omg it was so delicious. The weather got cooler so i went inside for my main course. I had a ginger beer with the seafood platter, (Wednesdays special price for the platter). For dessert i had a yummy moist Cassava Pone (like a banana bread but better) and I drank freshly made ginger tea My server Alexi was the G.O.A.T, she became my personal camera woman that night
Thanks to Laz, my family and I were able to enjoy two separate wonderful experiences that celebrated my Grandma’s 70th and my Grandpa’s 75th. We took advantage of the restaurants dining and catering services, which both had the same great quality of food. The dining service was good. We reserved a table around 4 pm on a Sunday and it wasn’t too busy at all. Although we were a large party, the staff were attentive enough and made sure we were taking care of. And bathrooms are clean. So, overall a great experience and I would recommend to anyone looking to have a Caribbean vibe for any special occasion.
Awesome place to eat some exquisite tasty Trini food. Loved everything from the food to the service. Nice rum selection! Will be coming back soon to try that breakfast special. Great job! Keep it up.
We had a great Friday night at Laz! Food was delicious and bonus of 2 djs playing on the patio. Perfect date night! Food, drinks, music. What more could you ask for. Our server was the best! Busy night but she was attentive and made sure to check in several times that everything was good. Definitely coming back!
Hubby and I celebrated his bday dinner here. The food was very tasty (Stew Chicken, Rice, Mac Pie and Callalou and Veggies) along with our Sorrel Drinks. I preferred the indoor ambience more than the patio. We would like to thank our server Alexia for such a great experience.
