| - Attended Lago for Valentine's dinner.
We were incredibly excited for this, and made reservations three months in advance to ensure we were able to visit.
Could not have been more disappointed... Yes it was Valentine's day, yes it was busy. But we arrived two minutes prior to our 8 p.m. reservation, and were told there would be a 30-minute wait, and we should wait at the bar. What? Okay, I'm guessing by the other reviews this is just what they do to try to get one more drink on everyone's tab, but that is unacceptable in my books. Oh, and the cocktail I had was awful.
We were then seated in a corner, small table, with literally no view of the fountains. My wife received a rose upon seating, which was a nice touch.
Our waiter could have cared less about serving us, even after we ordered a $180 bottle of wine (having said that, the person keeping our wine glasses full, who was not our waiter, was very kind and attentive). We went easily 20-minutes without seeing him, and when it was time to pay the bill, he disappeared for 30 minutes (seriously, we timed him); upon which I went to the bar to ask if I could pay there. They said "where's your server, he will serve you" ...
The food was seriously nothing special at all - in fact, it was quite tasteless and very poorly presented. Again, maybe this is because it was a busy "holiday" night...
Lago is located in the Bellagio near the North Entrance - skip it.
