Lago - North Brunswick

My dinner companion and I both enjoyed our visit to Lago

The food is excellent but a little pricey. The service was good as well.

It was so smelly and dirty, we went in, looked around and went out. I didn't even want to drink a glass of water there because I was afraid to get a virus or worse. I would have given them a grade of minus ten if possible. big website horrific or worse mother day ever.

Low Points: The server and the hostess need better training. We were presented with a well-organized wine list at reasonable prices ($35-$40), but when I ordered a bottle, the server returned after 5-7 minutes to inform me that most of the wines on the list were unavailable, and they only had six options. It’s puzzling why the host and server weren’t aware of this. If there were any specials, we never heard about them. The menu was poorly designed, with all items crammed onto one side without clear sections for appetizers, salads, soups, and main courses. The server did not attempt to guide us through the a la carte options, which seemed like a lost opportunity for maximizing sales for the restaurant. My son ordered a burger with fries but had to wait 5 minutes for ketchup, which should have come with the meal. To top it all off, the live music was quite distracting. On a Saturday evening at 7 PM, I really don’t want to listen to the drummer testing his drums or the singer doing microphone checks. I understand that they need to set up, but it shouldn't be during peak dining hours. Overall, we will not be returning.

Dining here was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. The interior of the restaurant felt unclean and outdated, making it hard to tell if it was a restaurant or a club. Our server mentioned that the restaurant is currently under new management, and hopefully, the redesign will lead to improvements. Unfortunately, the food was bland, and I could have prepared a better meal at home.
