Lago 210 - Buffalo

Last weekend, my family and I decided to dine at Lago 210 in Hamburg, a charming spot known for its inviting ambiance and delightful menu. Despite the chilly weather, we opted to sit outside due to the limited seating available indoors. This decision turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as the night was unexpectedly beautiful, enhancing our dining experience.It's worth noting that Lago 210, like many establishments in the food service industry currently, is facing staffing challenges. This was evident in the somewhat limited menu options available that evening. However, this minor setback didn't dampen our spirits or our appetite.The food, when it arrived, was a pleasant surprise. Each dish was well-prepared, flavorful, and presented beautifully, showcasing the culinary skills of the kitchen despite their limited staff. The drinks, too, were a hit – expertly mixed and the perfect complement to our meals.Adding to the ambiance was the live music. The performance was lively and enjoyable, creating a perfect backdrop for our family dinner. It's these little touches that can turn a simple meal out into a memorable experience.Overall, our time at Lago 210 was enjoyable. It's heartening to see local businesses persevere and continue to provide quality service in these challenging times. We look forward to our next visit, hopefully with a full staff and a full menu to match the full range of their culinary capabilities.

Never ate here, perfect for a quick romantic date w boo to watch the sunset. Veerry limited parking by the water, obviously. Can be super windy, so dress for the weather!

This place has potential. Great view. One of the best for sunset watching.First let me put out two warnings that do not effect the review. These things you should know before you go there.Warning one: The parking lot is a gravel/cinder/sand mixture. wear open toe and sandal type shoes at your own risk.Warning two: Be careful where you park. especially when you are near the time of a sunset. People will park you in or back into you if you are not careful of drivers who are watching the sunset instead of careful driving. (I saw someone quite upset with a driver side dent from someone he said drove off.)Warning Three: The menus are online. So if you have eye problems or are technically challenged call before hand to see if they have printable menus.Let me state one more time the views are breath taking especially on a calm night like tonight.We had five guests in our party. Two tried to order Iced Tea but they didn 't have it. (No deduction for this just an FYI).Appetizer: Nachos. Actually good. The cheese sauce was a neutral more Béchamel flavor than nacho. Though cheese was in there. Good and neutral for those that like nachos but not the heat . This was improved for me by the fresh tomatoes onions, greens and fresh jalapeno slices that allowed you to basically mix your own heat and flavor.The food;Lago Caesar 's salad with Kale: For me the kale would have ruined it, but my sister in law liked it enough.Carnitas Tacos: The food around the pork was delicious. Nicely placed and flavors complemented well. The pork was disappointingly dry for my sister. She left one taco untouched. I tried this and I agreed with her assessment.Wild Mushroom and Short Rib Risotto: My other sister had this and stated she loved it. But she only ate about a third of it. I was not able to try it nor willing.Birria Tacos: My brother and sister in law each had this. They stated it tasted good.Jerk Salmon: Coconut rice with steamed kale and The salmon.Salmon for me is a good judge of skill. It has to be done just right. a slight flakey but smooth almost melt in your mouth texture. The salmon was almost perfect here.But it was ruined by salt. Not a little but a lot of salt. so much so it ruined the flavor of the salmon. The kale underneath it tasted like wilted brine too. The coconut rice was textured well but bland.The final price including a 20% of $36 was just over $216. For that price all the food should have been near perfect. Excuses for less stop at the fast food/diner level.The service was constant and good. Never did we need to ask for a refill or wait for plates to be cleared. All in all very good service experience.I do not recommend the place for fancy food and I will not be back unless family or friends insist on going back.Maybe in a year or two I will reconsider.

This was a wonderful restaurant that makes everything gluten free. The food was incredible, prices adequately reflected the quality of food and service.My only negative is I wish there was a little more flexibility on the menu. Certain dishes were made one wayDietary restrictions: Everything is made gluten free

The food, service, and environment is second to none. I saw some negative reviews and honestly I think it is from the same people that would complain “it’s too heavy” if you gave them a gold bar.Parking is not a problem. At worst you have to walk a few hundred feet if the private lot is full.As for food, it was amazing. So many choices. If you are not sure about something ask. If it doesn’t sound like you will like it you probably were a picky eater as a kid.As for the service they are by far the best group from the host, wait staff, and manager we have seen it a long time. We didn’t meet the kitchen staff but if their food is any indication then I would personally invite them to a family function.Complaints about this place a based on inflated egos and entitlement. Glad to see some of them won’t be coming back so we can make our reservations more easily and have a wonderful meal. Cheers!Vegetarian options: They can make vegetarian versions of a lot of their menu items.
