" I've had mixed feelings about Lagar. While the ambiance was lovely and the service was good, the food did not meet my expectations of authentic Portuguese cuisine. My grilled chicken was dry, and the seasoning was quite bland. I’ve had better experiences here which makes this one a disappointment. I hope my next visit is better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me tell you, Lagar is one of the best dining experiences I've had! The staff was incredibly attentive, and they clearly love what they do. I enjoyed every bit of my meal, particularly the grilled shrimp, which were cooked perfectly. I will absolutely return for another evening of great food and ambiance! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came to Lagar for dinner last week and was pleasantly surprised! The ambiance is beautiful, and the food was delightful. I had the pork chops, which were juicy and flavorful. The only downside was the dessert, which didn't live up to the meal. A solid place to bring friends for good Portuguese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came in with high expectations to Lagar, but I left feeling a bit let down. The scallops I ordered were overcooked, lacking flavor, which was disappointing considering the rave reviews I had read. The décor was splendid, and the service was nice. I think I’ll try again, maybe during happy hour for drinks! " (*Curated Review*)

" I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Lagar! The atmosphere is bright and lively, and all the staff members were very friendly. I had the paella, and although I found it slightly too spicy, the flavors blended well together. Dessert was delicious, and our waiter was very accommodating what more could you need? " (*Curated Review*)

" Lagar impressed me during my visit! The decoration was chic, setting a great ambiance. I tried the duck confit which was perfectly cooked with a lovely sauce, though I wanted more on my plate for the price. Drinks were good too, and I would return for the overall experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Lagar for the first time a few nights ago. The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. I ordered the seafood soup, which was hearty and rich in flavor. I was pleased with my meal, and I look forward to trying more about their menu soon. " (*Curated Review*)
