    We come here at least once or twice a year for special occasions because the food is always reliably delicious. We had the garlic shrimp for appetizer, which is the ABSOLUTE BEST. The bread and garlic dip are a truly dangerous combo. We can never stop eating it, so by the time dinner comes we're usually already pretty full! My husband had the french onion pork chop (a very large-sized pork chop), I had the steak tips with egg noodles stroganoff (not typically on their menu), and my daughter had the chicken francaise (she always gets this because the chicken is so tender and the sauce is so tasty). Our waiter was super friendly and humorous. The interior of the restaurant is usually plain, but at Christmas is always festively-decorated.

    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!
