    Overall food was very good. However, we ordered the king crab legs for dinner and Ahi Tuna as an appetizer. The quality of the food was very good, the quantity not so much. Smallest king crab leg I’ve ever seen and the portion was ridiculously small for the price. Ahi Tuna was very good, but again a ridiculously small portion for the price.

    We had reservations at 5:30 and a show @8pm. We had to leave for our show because our dinner never showed up. We mentioned at 7 that we had at 8 and had to leave by 7:45. The dinner never came as we had to leave. The restaurant was not crowded. We waited 2 hrs and the main course never showed up. Really poor service! never again

    My Wife and I went to Lagos early on a Saturday afternoon. The wait staff and reception were good. The overall ambiance was ok, but nothing special. We ordered a couple appetizers to start. I had tempura shrimp which was excellent. My wife had onion soup which was average, the pastry on top of the soup was not completely cooked so it was doughy. The salads were excellent. For the main course my wife ordered Cracked Pepper Corn Filet. The steak had gristle and was tough, it was a very poor cut of meat, not at all like a filet should be. I had a pork chop . The BBQ sauce on it was vey good but the cut of meat was average It was no better than a typical pork chop that I could get at other restaurants for less money. When the bill came I gave my credit card to the server to charge it. The server returned with my card and told me the credit card processing machine was not working so I paid cash, (not a problem electronic stuff can break). The next day I found the dinner had been charged two times on my credit card. All in all we were not impressed with this restaurant and wont be returning.

    Horrible Valentine Day experience. I would never dine out here again. I had a reservation for 7:30pm. I called 1hr. before just to make sure everything was set up. The woman I had spoken to said nothing was set up and that she did not see a reservation for me, but that she’ll get it set up for me. Very disappointing when I set this reservation up weeks in advance. Once we arrived. We get seated into the igloo. There’s no lights on. The manager had to borrow the lights from another heated igloo. Also the heater did not work. He claim he had to go to another destination to grab a heater. So my date and I are cold waiting for heater which he never returned with a heater. Once customers was finished eating from the other heated igloo that he borrowed the lights from. They told us to go into their igloo. Table cloth was never changed they threw one on top of previous guests table cloth. Unprofessional! Once our food arrived. We had to wait several minutes for silverware. I paid a deposit for igloo. That was not ready for us and had no heat! Only good thing about this place was our waiter. She was very patient and kind.

    The restaurant was in a nice location on the lake with plenty of parking. Nice restaurant, a little pricey for the quality of food. The steak was ok but not as tender as I expected for the price. Short ribs were good but again not special. Smashed potatoes were good and the risotto with smoked Gouda was very good. Two people $100 with tip was not expensive but we probably will not go again.

    The food was excellent, definitely fine dining quality ingredients and preparation. The setting however seemed cold and stark. They need some fabric or tablecloths cloths to soften and warm up the feeling along with warmer and less bright lighting. The wine list was good, but the wine was not served at an appropriate temperature. The wait staff didn’t seem to have fine dining experience. We will definitely go back as the food was amazing and hopefully they will keep improving the experience.

    We both had the filet and it was some of the best we’ve had. The drinks were great too, except the martini glasses they use are small for the price of the drink $14.95. It ‘s always nice to be on the water no matter what the time of year.

    Food was good, with a limited menu and out of many items was disappointing. Three tables in the restaurant, but the party center was hopping with Christmas parties, was a distraction for our waiter.

    Limited menu. We’re out of 2 main items, and an appetizer. Steak was very fatty and wet. Food was presented lukewarm. Chef was out of town. Waiter tried his best but large party going on upstairs he was helping with- he even bought us a round of drinks to compensate for all the missteps. We won’t go back, not because of service or limited menu, but because food was not good. Steak quality not good.

    First time we have been to this area. I understand Lagos has only been open a few weeks. Having said that my wife and I had a wonderful time at Lagos. Our server Mark was wonderful and took care of all of our needs. I had the crab cake to start with and it was delicious with little or no breading. The Lagos salad was tasty with goat cheese, slices of pear and white French dressing. The main course, lobster pot pie was amazing with big chunks of lobster and topped with lobster bisque. For desert try the apple pie. You won't believe it. Cannot recommend Lagos highly enough....

    My wife and I made reservations for 730. We Got there early and was seated. The hostess gave us water and said our servers would be with us in a minute. We waited and waited finally a server finally asked have we been waited on and we said no. He apologized and said he would be back in a minute with he was. He took our drink order then ask if we were ready to order. We started off with the crabcake and shrimp tempura both were delicious. Then we ordered salads my wife got the beet goat cheese and I got the logos which was supposed to be pears, bacon, and blue cheese. When mine came out it did not have bacon but had pecans which I can't eat so I had to wait for my salad. The server waited to take our dinner order after we were done with salads. My wife ordered the shrimp and grits and I order the short rib. It took over 20 minutes for my wife's dinner with they brought out without mine. I had to wait almost another 10 minutes for mine. By then my wife's was cold so we ask for togo boxes and the check. Never got to try dessert. Need to work on communicating and timing. The Chef checked all the tables but ours she totally avoided us. The manager excuse was they were busy but the restaurant had empty tables.
