My husband and I are always at Downtown Summerlin so we figured we try Lazy Dog. Looks like a chain restaurant with multiple locations (which it is), but never heard of it previously.
The interior is warm and approachable, but I couldn't put my finger on its design inspiration. Looks like New Mexico meets Claim Jumper? So curious that I actually looked into it when we were waiting for service. Turns out it's inspired by a lounging dog near a fireplace at a lodge in Grand Teton, WY. Pretty cool and touches home as my husband has fam up there.
The food is verrry eclectic, reminds me of a Cheesecake Factory in terms of - "here is a bible of mediocre food offerings bound to interest somebody." However, our selections were really tasty! The green chili mac n cheese app was amazing, very flavorful. Ordered a low calorie pasta salad with great citrus under notes. The husband ordered the meatloaf, easily one of the tastiest I've ever had. Good cocktail selection too.
Not on my immediate return list, but I wasn't disappointed. A great place to bring a group of friends or family if you're in the neighborhood.
