   Food was excellent but overpriced. I would recommend for the creativity of the food, but paying over $60 for Pad Thai, an appetizer and one beer, that’s too expensive.

   We loved the food, and the service was great. I highly recommend the bulgogi wagyu skirt steak, and my wife thought the lamb tikka masala was great.

   It was outstanding. We found the menu online and thought it looked eclectic and good but it exceeded our expectations. We got appetizers, salad, main, and dessert and there was not a weak link. It was amazing from start to finish.

   Three words: great dining destination. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and our time could not have been better. For non-drinkers, the Nadarita was the perfect alternative to a margarita. Mussels as a starter in coconut milk were fragrant, sweet and juicy. My market catch of the day, silver salmon over a tostada was well constructed and perfectly balanced. We will be back

   Last night my husband and I had dinner at Lake Avenue. He had the fish and chips special, served with battered monkfish, crispy fries and first rate coleslaw. I had the fish tostada, made with king salmon, crisp tortillas and delicious beans and vegetables. Wednesday was half-price wine night which we appreciated. The food exceptionally good. So positive was our experience that we went back there today for lunch. My husband had pozole and I the mushroom kimchi dumplings and a cup of the soup of the day. All three dishes were delicious. The menu at Lake Avenue is imaginative, beautifully prepared, genius. Service was excellent at both meals, too, professional and gracious.

   Celebrated our anniversary at Lake Avenue at 6pm on a Monday and it wasn’t super packed, we were able to get seated immediately. It’s a fairly smaller menu but of those the Lamb Tikki Masala sounded amazing and we went to order it. Unfortunately, they were recently out of stock of it when it’s 6pm on a Monday.. We both ordered sandwiches instead and I ordered the sausage sandwich. The food came 15 minutes later and was very delicious, however the table next to us went to order the Sausage sandwich and the server said they just ran out of that as well… and it’s only 6:30pm on a Monday. Service was great!

    The lamb dish was bad! Lamb was so overcooked it was like mush. The rice was under cooked and was so hard to the point where I couldn’t eat it. Flavor was ok but for the $26 it should of been much better. I hid the lamb meat under the pita bread so my husband wouldn’t get mad for spending so much on dinner. The best part of the dinner was our appetizer. Our bill was so ver $120 for the two of us. We were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary. They were out of several items, and the item’s shown of the website were not on the menu. Disappointed.

    I do love spice but the pad Thai was way way way too hot the night I got it. The burger was average. Cocktails nice and the Bao buns delish.

    Had lunch with my date. I had the Pad Thai, received a bowl with lots of noodles and some veggies, and paid $25 for it. My date had the Market Fish Tostada. It came with 2 shrimp and two small Tostadas. They were hard to eat and there was not much on the plate. Paid $21. Two for lunch with water only, with tip came to almost $70. Are you kidding me. Throw in the $7 parking. So, a bowl of noodles and 2 shrimp and no drinks came to almost $80. Really.

    Food and service were great! Had the mushroom steam buns and the rocket pesto pizza and both were extremely good. Service was very attentive but the wait staff was confused over who was serving our table. It didn't affect the quality at all. The wine I selected was far from a generous pour and I didn't care much for it, but that's a personal preference, not a reflection on the restaurant. Would for sure go back.

    It was incredibly loud by the bar. I understand people want to have a good time but we couldn’t hear each other talk. I wish there was some kind of courtesy sign for guests at the bar to keep their conversations at a level where other guests’ experiences aren’t ruined. My brother was visiting and we raved about this bar, he and I both went home with splitting headaches. Otherwise, the food was exceptional and this remains one of our favorite places to eat!

    They have changed the menu since we were here previously and have added some interesting options. There are more vegetarian options and a slight Asian influence.
