Via Lago

"Walked in with three adults and three children. They said our party was too big to be sat. Not because it was busy or anything, it was empty. We were told that there were only two servers and they couldn’t overwhelm them. I used to be a restaurant manager and I’ve never heard such a thing in my life lmao. If you’re from out of town, I wouldn’t recommend this amateur spot"

"Nice menu, food was good. We went on a night before a show at Cary Hall, so the restaurant was quite busy, but they made sure everyone was served in time for the show. We'd definitely go back next time we're going to a show there."

"Visited for the first time and enjoyed it quite a bit. Our waitress was excellent, very friendly and attentive. The food was good. I had the Acorn Squash Risotto which came with scallops. The scallops were perfect but there were bites of the risotto that was slightly undercooked. My wife got the pasta with chicken and butternut squash. It was delicious. I would get it again. For dessert we had a nice bread pudding. The clientele leans toward the retirement crowd. I believe we were the youngest guests by a good margin, but the atmosphere doesn’t reflect that and I left a little confused why there weren’t more families eating there. On top of good food and friendly service, the prices were reasonable. Entrees were almost all under $25. Bottom line, Via Lago is worth a visit."

"Cozy spot in downtown Lexington.. plenty of street parking, and easily accessible. The place was busy and seemed under staffed. The bartender was also the waitress. Had to wait quite a bit for service but Dawn was nice and apologetic. My girl loved the calamari and her risotto.. it reminded her of authentic Italian food. I enjoyed my chicken fettuccine alfredo once I added some parmesan.. there's also a bakery in the back."

"I had red cabbage coleslaw, Salmon grilled (in deli), rice rio, broccoli Quiech. All very very delicious, and fresh. Cookies are AMAZING!!! Customer service was attentive & warm. Portions were great size. I ate most of my food before I photo."
