Great meal! Great service! The only criticism I have is that my carpaccio and my gnudi were on the salty side. Husband had the surf/turf. We went for our anniversary and they were kind enough to give us 3 cannoli's with a sparkler for dessert. Fun date night!

Delicious food. Very loud, hard to talk. Asked on my reservation for booth, but was told they were only used for larger groups. Other 2pp were sitting in booths and some empty?

Had dinner here last night! My best friend from California (Silicon Valley) was in town visiting his family and treated me to an awesome dinner here(he was the one who actually picked Lago-- I told him how I've been dining with them ever since they opened years ago)! Overall, we had a great experience! We had a 6 pm dinner reservation on a Wednesday night--which turned out good because there was NO loud music or annoying strolling musicians that night - which kind of made me stop coming here for a little while! Another thing that made our night was that we were seated at a nice 4-person table and NOT at one of those tiny rinky dink tables that are annoyingly crammed next to a bunch of other tiny tables! Most of all, the food was wonderfully deliciously EXCELLENT!!! For appetizers, we had Caviar and Goose Foie Gras! For entrees, my friend ordered the Surf & Turf; I ordered the 22-oz Bone in Ribeye and a lobster tail! We shared sides of the Polenta and Brussel Sprouts! My friend had the Pannecota for dessert! The service was great too-- our server, Luis, was very pleasant, professional, knowledgeable and efficient, and a lot of fun to interact with the whole time! Jeff the GM even came over to introduce himself, which was a nice touch! We will definitely be back! Great job, Lago team!!!

We have been here several times and the food has always been top notch. We also love how they make the caprese salad at the table. Wish they could do a half order when you have a small group. The servers are all nice and they help each other. The busers are super hard workers! This is one of our favorite places to go.

Restaurant is noisy but lively atmosphere. Everything we had was good (meatball appetizer, bread, octopus, chicken, steak, seafood). Only reason I gave it 4 stars for food was my husband said the pork chop was good, but Perry’s is better. Overall, we liked it & will return!

We were seated in the screened in patio sction, the tables were very close to each other and the wait staff were actually bumping into seated customers, the staff was having difficulty assisting customers in a timely manner. A large group was going in and out to smoke, the smoke was filtering into the dining area. Not a good experience for this level of dining.

It was clear the chef didn’t taste any of the food. The fresh made pasta was very good but the sauce it was in lacked any type of coherent taste. The king salmon was inedible as it lacked any flavor, the olive tapenade it was on was also not very good. All the food needed salt. I never ask for salt at a nice restaurant but had to here. The service was not where near what you would expect based on price.
