As always quality food and service. I had the 20 oz Rib Eye steak. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare and tender and juicy. Service was excellent again as usual.

This was our first experience at this restaurant, Lagar, and we will make it one of our regulars. We were warmly welcomed on a quiet Tuesday night. Our waiter John was personable and attentive. The food was delicious. We will be back soon, thank you very much!
