Lavan Catering and Events

My friend had her wedding here and it was amazing! The food was the best ever (Kosher)!

Clyde and I were invited to their Grand Opening party. We had a chance to see the venue and sample their food and drinks. The party was inside and on their back patio. The inside room was large with a bar, tables and chairs, and high tops. There were also a few comfortable couches. The lighting was subdued and there were vases of fresh flowers on the tables. The center of the room had a dance floor and a small stage. The back patio had three food stations, a bar, and several tables and chairs. We sat inside to take advantage of the air conditioning and the music that was playing.
They had full bars with cocktails, beer, and wine. I started with a blueberry Mojito which appeared to be a signature drink since several were already made. They were served in a wine glass and garnished with mint and fresh blueberries. Later in the evening the outside bar ran out of the blueberry mojitos but we were still able to get them at the inside bar.
I went to each of the food stations. At the first station they had a nice green salad with your choice of several dressings. We had to wait for a minute while the cook finished grilling the foods. There were kabobs of chicken, beef, or lamb. They also had tofu kabobs. The beef was tough, but the other kabobs were delicious.
They were making fresh tacos at the second food station. There were bowls filled with a variety of ingredients and you got to choose what you wanted in your taco. The meat was grilled chicken. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I especially liked the guacamole, which had a slight kick. It was wonderful.
The third station had another salad and a variety of flatbreads topped with ground beef or fresh vegetables.
One of the servers said they were going to set up a dessert station, but that didn’t happen.
The service was outstanding. Empty plates and glasses were quickly removed and crumbs were swept off our table. A few times I had to hold onto my plate to save it from being whisked away before I was finished.
There were hardly any lines for drinks or food, and when there was a line it moved quickly. Most important they were still serving food and drinks until the end of the party.
This is a great place. My friend, who was there with us, is already suggesting that her lodge hold their next event there.
I would have given five stars, but I had to deduct one. There were three children, two girls and one boy, who were chasing each other, yelling, and running. They ran into chairs, crouched behind tables, and generally disrupted the party. A few people tried to dance but gave up when these children ran around the dance floor. People were coming in from the patio carrying plates of food and they had to be careful not to collide with the children. One of the little girls fell once but picked herself up and continued running. Hey parents, this was a lovely event, but it would have been better if you had left your children at home. If you must bring them, at the very least be considerate and don’t let them act like they’re at the playground.
Parking was free, although it was valet only. It only took a few minutes for them to bring our car.
If I were planning an event I would strongly consider having it at Lavan. Based on their Grand Opening I would recommend them to my family and friends.
Just thinking. This would be a great place for a Unilocal event.

Lavan sponsored a fabulous event that featured an open bar with great tasting blueberry mojitos that were worth the trip on their own. They also had tacos, beef, chicken, and lamb on skewers– so tender. I loved everything they had. It was a beautiful place. I don’t think there was anything you could complain about other than screaming running children that the staff refused to control. Even so, I would attend any of the events they have that I’m invited to. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious.
