| - My fiance and I went to Lago for the first time in June 2011. It was a Wednesday night around 8:00 p.m. and we were able to be seated right away, outdoors, which is what we preferred. The ambiance was quiet and the sky/sunset was beautiful that night, so we were looking up at it a lot. The outdoor seating is a little small, but it was perfect for us. It took the waitress a little while to come over to us, and so I gave this review 4 stars -- it seemed like the entire evening it took the waitress a long time to get to us. Maybe it's because we were outside, I'm not sure. There was a larger party of 6 people at another table outside, but other than that, it was not crowded out there. When we arrived, I noticed a table of two women sitting and waiting to pay their bill at the end of their meal. They seemed a little exasperated with the service at that point, so I kind of knew what to expect. Our waitress was very nice that evening, I just think they may have been short staffed or something. Also, I noticed a group event going on in the private event room inside of Lago (the group of about 30 people arrived AFTER we did and were finished with their meal or whatever they were doing in there BEFORE we left that night). I think this contributed to our food taking a long amount of time to arrive. I timed it and I think it was 45 minutes from when our appetizers arrived to when the dinner entrees were on the table. I realized that the food is absolutely AMAZING at Lago, but even that is too long for me to wait for food. It was after 10:00 p.m. before we were out of there, and all we had were 2 drinks each, an appetizer, and 2 entrees. My fiance and I had the scallops as an appetizer (amazing!), I had the lobster gnocchi (would definitely recommend this to anyone! It was delicious!), and he had the pan roasted halibut (he said it was good, but he would want to try the blackened walleye next time). For drinks, I think my fiance had beer. I had the watermelon mojito, but I wasn't that impressed with it, so on the second round I got the Caribbean Royale, which was awesome. I would definitely go back to Lago! It was a pricey night for the two of us, so we will only go for special occasions, or maybe we will try their happy hour one night.
