I would say that $176 for a complete meal for 3 is not out of the domain of reason for a higher end restaurant especially with wine and dessert. When my wife an I go out the bill ranges from $50 to over $100...but...
The posting from belly_button_biter of small portions, low quality and mediocre service is pretty damning. I would love to see Lavinia's thrive; great location and charming building. However, the formula seems off the mark. I would expect that with a limited menu and fairly simple dishes that value/quality would be utmost. I am hoping that this is an aberration...it would be appreciated if anyone else trying Lavinia'a would post their impressions. I am losing my zeal to drive up from Laconia to try them without some sort of positive posting.
