I decided to go to LAGO for the first time last night, and I'm so grateful I did! From the moment…read morewe arrived, the valet was incredibly kind, and the ambience struck the perfect balance--upscale yet cozy and welcoming. I felt at home immediately, with that unmistakable "city" energy that makes a night out feel special. Our server, Lexi, was absolutely wonderful--beautiful, vibrant, and genuinely attentive. She went above and beyond to make my birthday feel truly special, and we all adored her. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and every detail reflected how much care and expertise go into this restaurant. I've been missing a place like this, and I can't wait to come back. LAGO is something special.

At first it kind of bothered me but later I realized it was a little more private albeit not a great looking view. Service was very professional and buttoned up. The staff wear earpieces so when something is needed they can all hear what is needed and they deal with it quickly. We started with the Floral Frost and a Spicy Vita. Both were tasty and not too sweet. My starter was the foie gras toast which was small yet very flavorful. Slightly thicker pieces of foie gras would have been nicer as it was pretty sweet from the cherry jam. The brioche was nice and crispy toasted. My better half had the French onion soup and it was very traditional, not too much cheese and not overly sweet the way some can be. My entree was the pork chop which was perfectly cooked. It had the most flavorful romesco sauce I have ever had and some crispy tender broccolini along with a few chick peas. The only item that was a little disappointing was the bread which looked great on other tables but was a tad lackluster. The menu has a lot of tasty sounding options and we will likely return.

She gave me a taste and it was delicious! She ordered the Greek salad and said it was ok but the honey mustard dressing was just ok. I ordered the three cheese grilled cheese which was amazing. So much cheese - great bread! Yummy! For a side I selected the basmati rice which was scrumptious! So flavorful! It comes with a red sauce on top if you wanted. I selected no sauce - I would go back just for the rice! Staff is awesome and place is clean. Vast menu with alot of great choices - many Greek choices as well as burgers salads and sandwiches. It is attached to the thirsty mule which is a bar so alcohol is also available. Prices are pretty standard although a French dip on the menu was $23 and a lamb chop was $30+. Great place that I would visit again!

Amanda's energy and passion was outstanding. The tour was about 45 minutes and includes a tasting flight. Since I do not drink bourbon, they allowed my to substitute a drink. There were so many options that I was interested in trying, but after discussing what I like with Amanda, she suggested the Lavender Haze. The lavender syrup is made in house and was sweet, with a floral taste . The drink was excellent. They have open mic nights and live music. They are expanding into the adjacent space in the next few months. It was interesting to hear all of the logistics involved in moving equipment into the new space. We will be back !

The beer that we got was the Southern Tuba! which is one of the beer installments to their Tuba series it appears. This beer is a Hazy New England IPA and it proved to be a good one!

A good introductory beer for us with this brewery!

Steak was cooked excellent, and the sides were phenomenal. Delicious drinks. The second time we went for lunch to try their lunch specials. We were thrilled with the choices- we got a steak protein bowl and a cheese burger with fries. Both were large portions and tasted fantastic. Also, VERY affordable at about $40 for two to eat beef for lunch? Yes, please. We will definitely be back for both lunch and dinners.

I really love this place. I've been there three times in the last year to meet friends for dinner,…read moreand both the service and the food have always been very good. Last night, it was fairly busy with the pre-Christmas rush, but service was swift and continuous throughout our meal. I tried the Beef Wellington, which was on their specials menu, and it was delicious. (I'm kicking myself that I forgot to take a picture!) Instead of what I'm used to, a sliced portion from a large tenderloin log, it was individually enclosed en croute, perfectly prepared medium rare, and a very good size portion of meat. I ended up eating half and sending the other half home with my friend, who had had just had dental work so wasn't able to fully indulge. My entrée came with soup or salad and a side, so I had the lemon cream of chicken (yummy!) and baked potato. I also had a cocktail - the house Manhattan, which is always good. I opted for an espresso martini instead of dessert, but I had a taste of my friend's dessert, some of the vanilla mousse from inside one of the chocolate tulips. So good! I still haven't taken my husband there, and I really need to do that. Maybe after the holidays when they're not as busy. Sounds like a plan!
