Which location?
I've only ever been downtown, but if ordering a special, definitely keep in mind they're ~$50. Everything on the menu is $30 and under so they get ya with those specials.

I love their spaghetti. My friend went last week and got the Seafood Medley pasta and loved it. It has crab and crawfish and a lobster cream sauce.

LV Airline does a great and huge portioned Eggplant Napoleon, battered and sauteed excellently. Comes with large solid serving of spinach madeline.

LV on Airline has a pretty good ribeye..You can eat a lot cheaper there by ordering some of their delicious Italian dishes..After having that bread a few times, I think I'd rather just a plain good bread. But, the 1st time you try the bread, you'll probably think it's awesome.

We tried the ribeyes last night at the downtown location; was not impressed. Steaks were a little tough, no creative taste, no sear; potatoes were lumpy. The bread, however, was awesome. With two drinks, not worth $97.

It's not suppose to be creative, it's suppose to taste like a steak. Salt, pepper, a little butter and that's it. What more do you want from a steak?

We went to the Airline location last night and had a similar experience. The bread and wine were the highlight while the rest was alright. I had the lamb special--meat was very good just too much sauce.

The biggest issue was the service. Made a reservation on Monday, spoke to a rude lady on the phone, and when we arrived last night I discovered she failed to write it down. Waited for about thirty minutes at the bar, so I asked when we're going to be seated. The lady working the door said we're next. She then seated two more couples, so I went over for an explanation. I was told they had a reservation....so I told her about the entire experience. They apologized, finally seated us, gave us free bread, and a round of drinks. I appreciated them trying to make it right, but this all went down on our anniversary.

Footnote: I overheard the lady at the door answer a phone call. Same short, rude, too busy to talk tone as the lady I spoke with on Monday....

Been to the one on airline and I enjoyed my meal. The g/f's was a different story. She ordered marsala and it was by far the worst I have ever tasted. It was more of a gravy than a wine sauce an it had tasted like the bottom of the pot they cooked it in was burnt, but they decided to serve it anyway.
Some people have way worse stories than mine, but like I said mine was good and I didn't have a problem with the service.
