Every dish ordered was spectacular and well worth the price. Highly recommend the mussels appetizer as they were delicious especially with the starter bread. Lovely rustic decor and amazing service. Highlight of my weekend getaway stay in Laconia.
Very good! Drinks were excellent, the mussels were perfect! Tuna Tartar was sooo good, what a treat. Veal was just okay, a bit fatty, no need to bread this much, but all side dishes were fabulous. The service at the bar was top notch!
What a beautiful place! We had a fabulous time! Great food, great atmosphere, great service! They served fresh bread, olive and cheese while we were waiting for our order which was so good! My wife ordered Tuna Tartare (Ahi tuna, avocado mousse, chili oil, sesame-balsamic reduction, pasta crisps, and spicy aioli) It was delicious and great presentation! I ordered NY Strip which was perfectly cooked medium well! It was juicy and flavorful with pan jus sauce! Dessert; We ordered Ultimate Chocolate Cake (Three layers of chocolate decadence! Chocolate mousse, chocolate cake, and a rich chocolate ganache topping) It was absolutely decadent!! Overall great experience! Has lounge seating area, waterfront dining and patio for warm weather!
Went here a few weeks ago with 2 other people. The food was very good, especially the mussels. Our waiter was attentive and nice. The wait to eat wasn’t very long.
I was looking for a restaurant for a party of 17 in the lake region for a family reunion and reached out to Lago. Rianna, their event coordinator, was friendly and communicative throughout the process providing us with pictures of the space and different set menus. We were provided 3 set menus and decided on B which had salmon, short rib, and chicken as entrees. Each set comes with shared appetizers, salads, entrees, and desserts. Our server Nicole was an absolute rockstar. She was incredibly friendly and kind. She answered all our questions and accommodated for the 3 children (under 8) we had as well as one dietary restriction. Two of my family members got martinis which she served tableside which was such a treat for everyone to watch. Thank you, Nicole! As for food, the appetizers were great. The bruschetta and calamari got us ready for the meal and the arugula salad was a delight. I particularly loved the candied walnuts. I ordered the short rib and my wife got the mango chili salmon. The short rib was tender and perfectly cooked, and the potatoes and carrots complimented the protein. It was rustic comfort food at its best. The salmon was unlike any other salmon I have had before. The flavors and the textures of the 3 components paired so well. It was my favorite bite of the meal! If that wasn't enough, the meal ended with chocolate espresso beans, a cup of tiramisu, coffee, and a shot of limoncello. I would be remiss if I didn't also mention the incredible view of the lake. It was honestly a flawless experience. My wife and I talked about the meal on the drive home and can't wait to return if we are ever in the lake region again.
Bonus that Lago is on the ground floor of the hotel we are staying. We shared three dishes... ceasar salad, flatbread, & pasta boulinaise. Delicious! and more than plenty for two dinees.
Upscale dining without the pressure. Extensive menu with too many great options. The restaurant has a massive amount of room along with a large bar. The staff was very friendly and helpful! Everything we ordered was amazing and made correctly. They don’t have a dedicated kids section on the menu but have plenty of options for them. Excellent Italian dishes Al of with steaks and pizza. Their signature drinks were awesome. We are looking forward to going back soon!
This was such a cute lovely restaurant. The staff was so kind and attentive. The food was to die for and they give you complementary bread, cheese, olives, crackers and at the end espresso beans. It’s a wonderful experience and beautiful view. If you’re in the area make sure to stop by.
Overall, a fantastic experience. Our server was delightful, the stuffed shrimp was fantastic. They have both reasonably and unreasonably priced wine, which is a great option to have. Five stars for sure we will definitely be back
Was visiting from out of state for the weekend and so glad we stopped here. Atmosphere was excellent, wait staff was excellent, food was out of this world good. Will absolutely come back next time we visit the area! 12/10 would recommend.
