    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.
