First time back to Luciano’s after a long time and I must say it was very delightful. Everything from service to atmosphere and food was top tier. I have been to many restaurants in the past which include famous steak houses and I have never had a steak that good in my life. Best restaurant in town!

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!
