  Delicious meal here with great service. Had the fois gras special(on the main menu at their sister restaurant Belmonte) and the butter soy tuna. Potentially way too rich of a meal, but all was delicious and I balanced it with a side of asparagus hahahah.
  
  The servers were all super attentive and friendly. It's casual yet upscale in its own unique way and a good little spot for a nice dinner. It's low season and was a Monday so no reservation needed.
  
  Also ended up eating at their sister restaurants yum yum and belmonte(didn't realize they were all connected til the last night) and enjoyed them all.

  I cannot stress this enough: RUN do not walk to this restaurant. Well actually make a reservation first (because the restaurant is tiny- always a good sign) but seriously this is one of the most incredible dining experiences I have ever had. Oh la la blew my mind, despite already going in with high expectations after getting a raving review from a close friend. Every element of the meal was perfection, 5 stars is almost not enough.
  
  We started with the caprese salad and the scallop/shrimp skewers. The moment I tasted the scallops, I knew the meal was going to be incredible. Such amazing flavor in such a simple dish. It was extremely delicious and set the tone for a fantastic meal.
  
  Now the real winner of the meal was the tuna. I am almost upset because I think they may have ruined tuna for me, because I don't think I will ever get a piece of tuna as good as this again. Not only was it cooked perfectly, but the sauce is probably the most tasty sauce I could ever imagine. I actually thought my friend was going to lick her plate, we loved the sauce so much. You must order the tuna here because it is incredible!!! I think I could write 5 more paragraphs on the tuna but I will leave it at that, the point is... get the tuna.
  
  I loved the coconut curry. We went with chicken but I think it would have also been fantastic with seafood. The curry was so fresh and flavorful and creamy. We went with a 3 spice, which was perfect.
  
  For dessert, we went with the special of the night which was a caramel lava cake. I was so full but this was really the perfect dessert. It was so moist and not tooo sweet. I find that normally desserts will caramel are too sweet but this one was perfect. It was served with a little bit of ice cream and some berries.
  
  Overall, Oh La La is a playa del Carmen must. If I ever come back to playa, I will absolutely be eating here again because it was just so fantastic and I am sad I can't eat here more frequently. Everything from the service, to the wine, to the food was incredible. You will have a fantastic meal here and it truly deserves all 5 stars and more.

  Never posted a review before but this place was too good not to. The service here is unbelievable. It's so intimate and they cater to your every need.
  
  Butter soy tuna is incredible, could drink the sauce. Filet mignon was cooked perfectly. Even gave us a cheesecake dessert on the house for our anniversary. Sweetest people, amazing establishment, amazing food. Made our trip. Can't find that kind of service and quality very often.

  We came to playa del Carmen looking for a good place to enjoy a nice dinner . They have met our expectations and the food was amazing plus the service was excellent.
  We will definitely recommend this place to all our friends and family .

  Oh Lala kept showing up as one of the top restaurants in PDC so I saved it for our last night in town.  Really glad I did, because it was truly spectacular!!
  
  We arrived right on time for our reservation, only to find out we were somehow reserved as a group of 2 not as 5.  Not quite sure if this was my fault, or if something got changed when the restaurant called me to move my reservation, but alas, no worries, a table was quickly assembled for us and we took our seats.  
  
  The art on the wall next to us was a digital fish tank, which was different, and quite nice to watch actually.  
  
  Our server (who was very good!) gave us some time to think about the menu and discuss the several specials while we enjoyed our welcome cocktails.  After that three of us started with the Passionfruit Cocktail which was extremely delicious! The wine menu was quite good, and had one of my favorite Riojas on it so we happily ordered that as well!
  
  In typical fashion we ordered way too much food, but enjoyed every last bite.  Dishes ranged from cheese plates and burrata plates to perfectly cooked steak and lobsters.  Truly a fantastic meal!
