    I had the red snapper and my bf had the steak. We both really enjoyed our meals. We ordered the passion fruit sangria which was strong & delish! Service was okay. They have live entertainment on Sunday's. That was pretty dead but other than that the ambiance was good.

    Amazing service and great food and drinks. Got the red sangria which was very good and got the beef rib with crispy potatoes and veggies. My mom got the veal chops, mashed potatoes, and veggies which was also delicious. Also, had enough for leftovers to take home and had lunch for work the next day lol. The ambiance is very beautiful especially for a date nite, awesome background areas to take pictures. Restroom was very clean and smelled fresh. Surprisingly found good parking right outside restaurant. Will definitely be back.

    Came here on a Friday evening for dinner. It's so happens to be there 13th anniversary celebration. They had a DJ and we're giving out prizes. It took us about 10 minutes to get seated. Then it took us about another 10 minutes to get a menu. They brought out bread, butter, and seasoned olives. We ordered our food and drink drinks. Our drinks took about another 15 minutes to come out. We ordered the garlic chicken, salmon, and a side of rice and beans. The food took about another 30 minutes to arrive. The food was just OK. My salmon had bones in it so it turned me off from eating it. The garlic chicken was just OK. We also ordered the caramel chocolate soufflé and the crème brûlée. Both were just OK. The service could have been better, but the place was packed and they were also serving a big birthday party so I understood. All in all I will come back but mainly for the vibes and drinks. Vibes 10/10 Food 5/10 Service 6.7/10

    Stopped in for lunch while we were in the area. We were provided olives and fresh bread as soon as we sat down. We ordered the stuffed jumbo shrimp & baked clams. Both dishes were excellent! Ended our meal with the pistachio espresso martini - my two fave martinis combined. What's not to like? While it was nice to sit outside with live music, it was hot that day and they had fans going which helped. Feel like this is more of a night vibe, than the day time so I'd definitely come back and check it out for dinner. All in all, is recommend. Food, drinks, vibes, and service were all good!

    Lagar is a must visit! Drink were way bigger then we expected. Which only means it is worth every penny. We did tapas as we were there to vent and release some stress. The baked clams were delicious and served a good amount. The croquettes were a little more batter then I expected. We also had the fried fish which was great. I wish there were a bit more selections of items not fried on the menu. Potatoes you could never go wrong with. I would come Back to try entrees in the Future. The service was attentive without being over bearing and the staff was friendly. You are able to park in the municipal lot and if Not there is street parking on the residential streets

    This restaurant is actually huge- we didn't know how big it was j til we got there. There's two sections- one for a larger crowds and families and one in a more intimate area. We sat in the intimate area but both areas had good music and waiters serving. The wait for the food took longer than we expected but I got a frozen margarita while we were waiting which was good. The lamb chops were delicious as well!

    Lagar is a nice restaurant with lots of space for private parties, a bar and enclosed patio. During this time of the year it was a pretty chill atmosphere but I can imagine it being a hot spot in the warmer months. They offer happy hour drinks daily but happy hour food specials are only on specific days. I had a mojito that was on special and later enjoyed the house margarita both were good. The shrimp and seafood risotto were the star of my dining experience. Our server was very attentive and offered great suggestions. Overall nice experience and would go back.

    The wait staff was great! We did order the salmon and it was filled with bones. The decor is nice. The live music was a plus. We enjoyed our time here and I would go back to try other things. The happy menu is limited as well which is what we came for initially. Parking is on the street or a little lot next door.

    Great ambience, great vibes, great service! The food was good as well. I had a steak which was delicious. It was charred to perfection and the seasoning was top tier. The steak was so big it took me two days to finish the rest. My only complaint with this place is the drinks. The food was honestly so delicious that all you needed was water. I ordered a lemon drop and it was probably the worst drink I've had at an establishment.

    Espresso martini

    The patio area here is so cute! I'm not sure what they do in the winter because they don't have much seating inside, but it was perfect for dinner on a September weekend. They even had live music which truthfully, was a bit loud at times for us to hear each other, but at least he was singing good music. Service was great - some of my party came late and I switched out the sides for my entree and they didn't make a fuss. The food presentation here is definitely thoughtful. My chicken and shrimp in sauce entree was soooo good. My friend ordered the sirloin on a skewer dish because it looked amazing, but honestly the steak was tough as old boots. All show for that one. Drinks were good - we liked the sangria pitcher options. But note... the espresso martini is STRONG. You better call that Uber after.

    Came here for an event and the space was beautiful. The decor and the overall aestheti was honestly all that I could ask for for any special events or even a casual date. I was not overall impressed by the food but it was good. Servers were pretty attentive as well.

    Everything is really good. There's a new chef in town. The menu has new offerings, we have tried a few of the new dishes. Everything was superb. It is our go to happy hour place to wind down after a long week. The decorations are so pretty stop in for happy hour have a sangria and and some delicious food. Definitely lots of photo ops PS be sure to read the small print on the bottom. There is a 15% service charge. It is noted on the bottom of every menu page.

    Saw a reel about Lagar! Made reservations! Enjoyed the appetizer and entrees! Calamari was fresh and tasty Love that the menu has bacalhao con natas! My favorite Portuguese dish! It was yummy! My white sangria was refreshing! Staff attentive. Our Server Joel N was great! Thank you Reservations were for the indoor dining area! Opted to sit in the outdoor dining area! Glad we did! Live music!! We ordered two desserts! Chocolate mousse and serradura- Niether was good Mouse was grainy Will come back, pick other deserts though Parking lot across the street.

NOTE: the beef ribs that everyone's talking about are sliced short ribs. Don't think those big bone beef ribs you get at American BBQ joints. Devil is in the details. What made this place a 3, star is that the staff doesn't introduce the menu and items well. For example, I got the beef ribs with vegetables and sweet plantains (both VERY good btw), they failed to explain that there are SPICY PICKLED VEGETABLES THAT GOES WITH IT. I took a bite of the cauliflower thinking it was the vegetables side, and spat it right out because it's the Portuguese style pickled veggies. If someone didn't eat spicy that would definitely mess them up. Ambiance? None, it's basically a small bodega with 3 pairs of booth seats and 5 bar seats. How is it colder in the restaurant than outside (it is currently March)

    Unfortunately, this was a truly disappointing experience. We were a family of three hoping for a…read morenice family-style dinner, but nearly every part of the meal and service fell short. Our waiter was difficult to understand and couldn't answer basic questions about the menu. The bread was so overbaked and hard we were worried about breaking a tooth. The shrimp appetizer was very good, although swimming in oil; the Iberico rib meat was greasy and came with raw garlic. When the plates were cleared, oil was spilled onto our table. Then we waited about 45 minutes for our entrees and eventually had to track someone down ourselves. We later discovered our waiter eating at the bar while we were waiting. The octopus was both charred and undercooked and far too salty. The nearly 3-inch-thick pork chop, ordered medium, was raw in the center. The "apricot brandy reduction" was essentially jam on top, and the potato chips were thick and underfried. The $37 pork chop was essentially inedible. Getting the check was another ordeal--we had to ask multiple times and were even brought another customer's check and credit card by mistake. There was no adjustment to our bill. After paying, we also had to wait to get our card back. The bartender did seem genuinely concerned when we told him what happened and ultimately offered 10% off a future visit, but after this experience, we certainly won't be returning. The shrimp were good and the bartender tried to help, but overall the food, service, and handling of the situation were far below what we expected.

I still get the mixed kebab because the all you can eat is way too much for me. Don't sleep on the collard greens. I would order an extra serving so you can mix them with eggs in the morning. Did we wait an hour for our table? Yes, but it was well worth it. There was a spot at the bar where we can chill and all catch up with the peeps we hadn't seen in a min. It was nice to have that time because there was silence when we sat and got our food. We were hungry. One thing I will say, they took away the bowls of olives. I mean I was probably the only one that looked forward to them, so I get it. But holla at me if you feel the same way. Until next year Carvalhos

They do not take reservations on the weekends so be prepared to wait 35-40 minutes for a table since it tends to get packed in the evening. They do have a big bar to have a drink and wait in the meantime. The staff is very friendly and attentive which I loved, they made sure our table was clean and our drinks were filled. Now the food, their appetizers that they bring to the table were just ok; the sweet plantains, rice and beans were pretty good. The French fries were undercooked which no one at the table touched. The salad could have used a little more color but the dressing was really good. The meats themselves were good but could better. I really enjoyed their picanha; it was cooked a perfectly medium. It was juicy and flavorful. The chicken legs and turkey wrapped in bacon were so delicious and well seasoned. When it came to the skirt steak, short ribs and other cuts of meat, I felt like they were on the drier side and not as tasty. They never asked how we liked it cooked (medium or well done) so we just got whichever temperature they were served. I was also disappointed they didn't have chicken hearts since I always look forward to those when I go to a rodizio. Each person rodizio is $54 which is definitely on the higher end and the prices on their website are outdated. I would probably not return; there are more affordable rodizio with higher end cuts.

The service was outstanding from start to finish -- warm, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food. The restaurant has a very open kitchen, and several of the chefs took time to show us what they were doing and explain the preparation. They were excited to talk about the paella pans, the saffron and sofrito rice base, the wood-and-charcoal fire, and the way the dishes were finished. They clearly take pride in the food and enjoy sharing that with guests. We had the pão with cardamom-chile butter, roasted oysters, garlic shrimp, picanha, the meatball paella, and olive-oil tres leches cake, along with Alvarinho wine and a draft beer. The paella rice itself was excellent, with a very good socarrat and a strong wood-fired character. The pork-and-beef meatballs were good on their own, though for me the combination was a little unusual and I would choose a different paella variation next time. Always changing paella of the day. Seafood would excite me when available. The picanha, oysters, shrimp, bread, and dessert were also all very good. The whole restaurant operated as a team. That added a lot to the experience because the people serving the food really understood how it was prepared. Even small details were thoughtful. Our leftovers were kept at the host stand and we were given a numbered claim disc to retrieve the bag on the way out -- a simple idea that avoids having takeout bags sitting on the table or floor. I had never seen that done before. Overall, Lita delivered very good food with exceptional hospitality. The open kitchen, wood-and-charcoal cooking, and interaction with the chefs made the meal feel personal and memorable. We would definitely return, especially to try another paella variation.

We tried all the empanadas : chicken, beef, and spinach-cheese and they were excellent. Super-flaky and big and tasted great. We also got the beef short ribs and they were tender the way i needed. The bbq chicken and pork rib combo is another great dish. The Pork cubes dish has plenty of chorizo with loin chunks and sauteed veggies. Everything came with a brocolli, cauliflower and carrot medly that was cooked perfectly. I hate overcooked veg, and these were just right. The rice side dish was large and fluffy and I kept going back for more of the black beans side. This place is worth a return, the standouts being the garlic chicken and crispy empanadas.
