    The goodness average at best. We had several dishes- 6 girls and 1/2 liked their food and the other half did not.

    Food was excellent! Top rate. Only concern was a surprise that the appetizer the waiter offered to do for the table of 4 ended up being $80! Wow in the future we will ask price on everything in advance.

    Il Bel Lago is always a favorite. The veal special was perfection just as our waiter Gregory said it would be. We usually save Il Bel Lago for special events, but just a casual dinner is perfect here.

    They offer a wide variety of Italian cuisine, of excellent quality. Servers and sommeliers are friendly and very knowledgeable about the meals and wine list. Overall, a wonderful experience for our party of ten.
