    With great memories of meals at the Madison location a group of friends enjoyed a delicious dining experience again. Our server Dana was wonderful!! Patient, friendly and especially helpful answering our questions and making perfect suggestions. The burrata appetizer was a great start. The entire wait staff was very attentive anticipating all our needs. Our entrees included pork chops, filet mignon and filet mignon with crab cake. The full garlic bulb and bread dip was delicious. The white sangria a perfect accompaniment, too! Will make sure to leave room for dessert next visit....which will be soon👍

    We celebrated my 68th birthday here at Lagar. I had driven by a few times and it looked so festive that I chose to dine here for my birthday. I was not disappointed! Most people were dining on the patio but we went to the dining room where we had it to ourselves. The patio was livelier but I wanted a more intimate setting. The Christmas tree was tastefully decorated as well as the room. Now of course to the food: Delicious, plentiful with perfect sides. My steak was done to my specifications and perfect. Our waiter was attentive without being intrusive. Overall, I give Lagar my highest compliments!
