| - Had an odd experience at Lago. The food was "pretty good" but not great. Nothing was bad. We did the tasting menu. Salad was mediocre. Caprese was pretty good. The best thing we had was the crudo, with a variety of raw fish. The pasta course had some good dishes (risotto) and some that weren't so good (lobster gnocchi). The meat course was the least impressive. Mediocre beef, pasta with way too much truffle (no idea why this was part of the meat course, anyway).
The real downside was the service. The waitstaff was VERY aggressive when leaving and taking plates, bumping everyone at the table, elbowing, had food spilled on me twice with no apology. Also, the sommelier was incredibly aggressive. After our dinner host opted not to order more bottles of wine, the somm came back again and seemed sort of put off, asking again about more wine, and when he was told again we didn't want a FOURTH bottle, he went to the opposite end of the table and sort of rudely put the wine list in front of individuals asking if anybody wanted glasses of wine. Very offputting. Not professional.
