Problem: What would be an example of an positive review?

Answer: We were thrilled to find this gem on a recent trip to Charlotte. As west coasters, we're picky about sushi, but this place was perfect. We were the only ones at the bar (I've never understood when people go to a sushi bar and sit at a table, but maybe it was the odd bar stools?!), ordered a combo of what looked great on the menu, our own special orders, and the chef's recommendations. Everything was fabulous - including the presentation. Service was top notch too. If I return to Charlotte, Room 112 will be at the top of my list of places to revisit.

Answer: I was in town for a bachelorette party and ate here for our "nice dinner" Friday night. The ambiance was awesome. I loved the vibe of the place.... bu the most important part, the food, was just okay and truly nothing to write home about. It lacked depth, flavor, and overall "WOW THIS IS AWESOME." Not one single dish stood out to me. I didn't like the melting pot of Japanese, Peruvian, and Brazilian. Stick with one and make it amazing. Don't dabble in all three. Perhaps that's me being a traditionalist, but so be it. The waitress seemed put off by the large quantity of us at the table. She huffed and puffed constantly. She highly suggested that we pick a dollar amount and stick with it. When we asked if we could order something from the menu separately, it was frowned upon. We'd tell her what we liked/didn't like and they'd customize the menu for us - sticking to our chosen $$ range. If we didn't like something, they'd take it back and replace it with another item from the menu. In a way, kinda cool and makes sense but then again, it was frustrating. We couldn't pick things we eyed on the menu. We had to cross our fingers it showed up. I won't go back. Okada blows this place out of the water. So does Sushi Roku. Go there instead if you're craving sushi while in Vegas.

Answer:
Definitely a nice LOOKING buffet but not a nice tasting buffet. I came here with the buffet of buffets. This place gets two stars because of the decor... Everyone was raving about the desserts at the Caesar's buffet. So I thought I had to try it. But to my dismay, this was not good for even desserts. I tried every single dessert at the buffet and not one was memorable. Most of the desserts consist of cream, and on the heavy sweet side. I uploaded a few photos of the desserts, the selection was less than the buffet at Paris and Planet Hollywood. The only food item I liked was the noodle soup at the Asian bar and the pesto pasta. The ribs on the serving platters were too dry and most of the other items did not look too appetizing. If you are aiming to try all the 7 buffets with the 24hr pass, I would not waste my time at Lago. Go to Spice Market at Planet Hollywood, Paris, Rio or even Harrah! At least service was good... that's because not many people were eating here!
