Why can't restaurants get steaks right, it is so frustrating. Even pricey steak places can't get it right consistently. I like medium rare but she likes well done.

Well done is so hard for most places, they really don't want to throw away an expensive steak so it always comes out medium and it always goes back, frustrating.

I've been using up C-man gift cards and been thinking about Lago. Now I'm a little nervous. She loves veal pajamas, but she will not be happy if they send chicken. Maybe the Tilt'n diner is a better choice, can't screw up shepard's pie.

Lago has always been an apps/drinks choice for us. And at that, they are just fine. The patio is a great place on a summer evening.

We figured out a long time ago that you need to sit at the bar to get the good stuff......
When you are at the bar you are in the servers face the whole time so if it isn't what you want they know they will hear about it a lot sooner.


Sit at the bar next time.......

We were thrilled when Lago started serving lunch again! We've been there three times for lunch this summer and have thoroughly enjoyed it each time. We almost always get a couple of apps & a drink (versus an entre). That said.....when we were there earlier this week you could have fired a canon inside without fear of hitting anyone. Based upon the poor turn out....I wouldn't be surprised if they were considering stopping offering lunch again.

Default We love Lago!

I only went once this vacation, but my family went a total of 5 times! I don't eat out often anymore because I have a gluten intolerance. They serve gluten free pasta so I gave it a go. It was fabulous. Everyone enjoyed their apps, drinks and meals. Even my Mother in Law who needs food to be boiling hot! I loved it the past couple of years too, when I could eat anything. I think people should give it another try.
