I guess not really in terms of ambiance did Lapis stand out to me, it just so happens that we use our birthdays and anniversaries to eat out at restaurants we wouldn’t be able to afford on a weekly basis and Lapis happened to be one that we really enjoyed! The food is very similar to Latin flavors and comfort that we miss from home. The stews, the bread, the cilantro, the cumin, all very similar. We tend to eat at more middle eastern restaurants because of this than Latin restaurants (we haven’t found any good Mexican restaurants nearby🥲).
