Made me think that the experience was going to be great. Disappointed. We were sat practically in the waiting area because it's such a small space and there were just tables and people everywhere. The bar was so incredibly overcrowded with people just standing behind the bar chairs, practically leaning on my husband while we ate. The food was delicious don't get me wrong but don't eat here on your own dime. It was so loud my family and I were practically yelling at one another just to get through our meal. Our waitress checked on us maybe twice and never offered any of us a refill on our drinks. As we were leaving someone at the bar ordered "table side" mozzarella / tomato thing and practically boxed us in from leaving. Disappointed as I was really looking forward to the meal as it seemed much more intimate for my celebration.

We began with the…read moreMediterranean octopus and the whipped ricotta bruschetta, and both were absolutely delicious--the perfect way to start the meal. For our main courses, the Lago chopped salad was fresh and flavorful, and the Mishima Wagyu New York Strip was cooked perfectly and incredibly tender. Dessert did not disappoint either. Fabio's tiramisu was rich and authentic, while the classic cheesecake was the perfect sweet ending. The cocktails were just as impressive--the dirty martinis were excellent, followed by a great espresso after dinner and a refreshing limoncello dessert wine to finish the evening. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere all came together to create a fantastic experience. The vibe is warm, inviting, and upscale without feeling pretentious. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend Lago by Fabio to anyone looking for an exceptional meal.

The first time we went here we both had burgers: I had a classic burger and my wife had their…read moreturkey burger. She swears by their turkey burger that it's one of the best around. The only problem is that they don't always have it, and that's a shame as I think if word got around d about how awesome it is, they would get more orders. It's hit and miss when they have it, so if you're craving a hood turkey burger, call ahead to make sure they have it. As for me, their burgers are not to be missed. They are plenty juicy and flavorful. The fries (at least the first time I had them) were both crispy outside and fluffy potato inside. Today, however, they were soft and limp. I ordered the cheese for dipping and it was watery and flavorless. Such a bummer. I also had their buffalo chicken ranch sandwich. It was lifeless. The chicken was rubbery, and the bacon tasteless. It was a waste of bacon (and I don't say that lightly). My wife had the chicken parm sandwich and again, the chicken was rubbery. Maybe we should have stuck with burgers? Alas, she could not ad they didn't have the turkey burgers. I say stick with their burgers and maybe ask for the fries well done.

Amanda's energy and passion was outstanding. The tour was about 45 minutes and includes a tasting flight. Since I do not drink bourbon, they allowed my to substitute a drink. There were so many options that I was interested in trying, but after discussing what I like with Amanda, she suggested the Lavender Haze. The lavender syrup is made in house and was sweet, with a floral taste . The drink was excellent. They have open mic nights and live music. They are expanding into the adjacent space in the next few months. It was interesting to hear all of the logistics involved in moving equipment into the new space. We will be back !

Parking can be a bit tricky though but worth it! The ambience facing the lake was really nice. The waitress Victoria W. was very attentive and I met the owner Bob who was very personable. The pesto chicken sandwich was fresh and delicious and same with the curly french fries (that other people raved about). Highly recommended! I was told the fish tacos were very good too. However, I do not recommend the red sangria as the way it was made tasted more like a wine cooler. The Stiegl grapefruit radler beer was light and refreshing though. I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu and other cocktails. I give this place 4.5 stars.

I tried a beer flight along with several dishes, including the Detroit-style pie, tavern-style pie, chicken sandwich with hand-cut fries, wings and spinach artichoke dip. Everything was good, but the pies and those hand-cut fries were the standouts for me. The fries were seriously some of the best I've had at a restaurant.....thick, crispy, and clearly made fresh. The space itself is large but still feels cozy, with plenty of seating, a lounge area, board games, and a laid-back atmosphere that works for both adults and families. I also loved being able to see into the area where they brew their beer on-site. Between the food, house-brewed beer, and relaxed atmosphere, this is definitely a place I'd make the drive back to.

(too saucy....) and the pierogis (not enough flavor and too oily, but not at fault of kitchen staff). The menu has tons of variety too, and their specials change out so regularly i cant keep up! The drinks ive gotten there have been phenomenal so far, and the mocktails dont make you feel like youre missing out on any fun. In addition to the Food, the service is positively delightful. Our server last time i went was also the bartender, and the other staff were kind enough to step in and help him with our orders, and he himself was more than helpful enough. The interior of the resturaunt was beautiful with wonderful lighting and a very cohesive layout, but i do have two complaints: the tables are very small and the booths are very low. When you order at a tapas resturaunt, you dont really get just one or two plates at a time, and when a solid quarter of the table is being occupied by the standup menus, the water glass, and the decorative flowers, it gets crowded very quickly. Overall a 9/10. Definitely a wonderful place to go with friends, family, or even on your own!

I have been meaning to post this for awhile…read more I sadly only have bad things to say.... First! The girls they hire to work here can be VERY rude, the food is not great, I think this is really just a place people get together and drink at so the environment isn't very relaxing.

First of all, the parking lot is very confusing and part of it is rather torn up. It is also occupied by several John Deere tractors, which I think is part of the overall feel of the restaurant. Upon walking in, this is definitely old school decor something that hasn't been touched in years and quite frankly if you like the nostalgia, this is definitely the place. The bar area is quite interesting as there's actually water and live frogs living in the bar top of the bar. We ordered the same sirloin three times as well as the prime rib. There was quite a bit of drinks as well ordered. Overall service was great, but our very young server had no idea and had never heard of Meg Ryan. I would say if you're looking for a little bit more of an elevated American steak dinner that is better than any other common chain out there. This is the place for you to come to very casual and laid-back really great to see huge parties of families coming to have dinner for whatever the cause or celebration was as well. Apparently, also the owner has his own cattle farm and supplies, beef to the restaurant. These price points for his beef are slightly higher than the standard venue. However, keep in mind all cuts our choice. I do not believe anything here is prime other than maybe prime rib as it's called.

Steak was cooked excellent, and the sides were phenomenal. Delicious drinks. The second time we went for lunch to try their lunch specials. We were thrilled with the choices- we got a steak protein bowl and a cheese burger with fries. Both were large portions and tasted fantastic. Also, VERY affordable at about $40 for two to eat beef for lunch? Yes, please. We will definitely be back for both lunch and dinners.
