Best Casual Restaurants in Lake Ridge

We had the Theo’s chips and stuffed squash flowers for appetizers. I would highly recommend both. My wife had the Bronzino and I had the filet mignon souvlaki. They were both excellent. I tried their great beer Mythos which was crisp and refreshing. My wife had the spicy margarita and she enjoyed it. Unfortunately, we did not have room for dessert, but they looked fantastic. This place was recommended to us by my cousin, and I can’t wait to think of when I see her.

The meal, atmosphere and service was outstanding. We throughly enjoyed our meals. There were 4 of us. We all had drinks and they were tasty. Hazelnut Old fashioned was good. (A drop too sweet, but I had them put less frangrlica in my second one and it was perfect) espresso martini was incredible. Caesar salad were very good. Appetizer of mixes cheese balks was fantastic. The veal parmigiana was great. Their lasagne was meaty and delicious. The fusilli with chicken, goat cheese, sun dried tomato and balsamic dressing was tasty and the sausage pasta was amazing. Dessert was great. Service was excellent and Jason (the owner) came by and he was a welcoming and great guy. Coming back again on Sunday and bringing my parents

We were seated quicking and had a reservation. Beautiful waterfront dining on the intercoastal waterway. Our server Ashley was excellent, friendly and very attentive. We were not rushed although the place filled up quickly. Ordered the sushi as an appy then went with their their fresh fish entrees. truely fresh and delicious. Portions were generous. For dessert we had the cheescake and the 5 layer chocolate cake. We were told all desserts were baked on premises by their pastry chef and it showed. The chocolate cake was HUGE for $ 14 no way to even attempt to finish it. If I had to pick on one item, not their fault, the sunset was blocked by a high building acroos the waterway.

We had a wonderful meal at Padrino's. The combination appetizer platter was excellent. Our server was very efficient. All entrees were tasty, but we especially enjoyed the churrasco steak!

Great food. Innovative menu. Friendly staff. Not much ambience.
