That's why we hired a master to craft our house brews and why our beer list spans the globe. With everything from refreshing pilsners that match the lightness of our thin-crust pizza to dark, rich ales that stand up to our decadent burgers, you're certain to find a new favorite at The Lucky Monk. We're sure that our Prime beef burgers — served with hand-cut fries — will be the juiciest you've ever had. Our other house specialty is pizza.

    Always good food, drinks and service. Chad at the bar is excellent. Finally tried the walleye fish tacos, wow yummy! The tuna nacho and cauliflower were just as good. I recommend a reservation even during the week.

    First time visiting LAGO. It exceeded our expectations!, Food, service, and the experience was great. The Sunday Dinner Special is great! It was a birthday celebration for my wife and they acknowledged it and our server, Vince brought her a cannoli dessert. His service as well as the entire staff was excellent and attentive. We couldn’t have been more pleased with a new restaurant experience. We will most certainly return.

    Don’t feel like you just have to order the pizza. The rest of the menu is outstanding. I personally loved the beet salad and the spaghetti & meatballs. The prosciutto & fig appetizer was to die for!
