Fantastic night . Service, food, and atmosphere were all fantastic! It's not cheap, but it's a true old school fancy restaurant.

I set a early evening reservation here with my wife. Upon arrival, the valet was nice and professional. I felt comfortable giving him my keys. The hostess was kind and hospitable with her greeting, and our seat was not a bad view of the lake; however, we were suffocated by groups of other people and close seating. Couple this close quarters atmosphere with a table that had a few loud men and next thing you know, the wife and I can barely enjoy ourselves, let alone hear each other speak at certain points. The table got quieter once they received their food, but that didnt last long. The waiter was presentable, but that was merely surface level. As the evening went on, he surely progressed to show who he was. Things were great through the drinks and the appetizer. Yet, when we received the appetizer, which was a superbly delicious thinly shaved filet mignon, we were ready to place our food order. After the appetizer was long gone, we waited another 15 minutes before the waiter finally came to ask us if we were finally ready to order (words exactly) like he has been waiting for us. Now we ordered the pappardelle pasta for my wife and the short ribs for me. The food never took long to arrive(this included the app) and when the waiter brought the plates I was personally surprised that my dish was tomato based. Now granted, the menu did say the ribs were slow braised in a Chianti ragu, but was served over pappardelle. (Me not being Italian, I thought pappardelle was the dish and not the noodles) So, when the waiter asked if everything was fine, I stated, well I was not under the impression that this plate would be mainly tomato based. To which I was immediately snapped up with an outrageous attitude and a barrage of condescending retorts no matter what I was going to say. My wife and I both stared at each other, her mouth gaping wide, and I gently asked the waiter why was he being so hostile and informed him that I was being very nice and calm with him. He looked around, he looked at my wifes dismay, and he instantly began to backpedal. Im so sorry. I should have never what can I do? Im sorry if I offended you. Etc. I was filled with anxiety, anger, embarrassment, maybe some other emotions? Idk.. it was a lot, very quickly. All I could do was cover my face and sit in silence. My wife spoke for me for a moment while I collected myself and after a few moments I told the waiter that I would try to enjoy the food. This being near impossible for me as I have a weak stomach to tomato sauce, but it wasnt going to stop me from trying to be a nice guy to the waiter. Once I was finally able to try and eat the plate, I was sick on my stomach. Not sure if it was the food, or the interaction. Either way we were ready to go. I told the waiter I couldnt eat it, they offered to make me another plate, I took it to go. My wife got the tiramisu to go as well it was the best tiramisu we ever tried together. All in all two stars, The food was not too bad a price, but I never got to really sit down and even enjoy the plate I paid $50 for, thats annoying. The atmosphere was entirely too loud for an early morning on a Tuesday, music could have helped maybe? Idk. The waiter snapped me up like a twig over a simple mistake I made with my menu choice. This is precisely NOT the service anyone should expect at such a fine establishment, and such a ticket price too? No thanks. I feel like the two stars is maybe generous, Im sure other people reading this review would give it less. I think personally the valet is the only reason this post got 2 stars.

I think this place is over rated! The service wasnt great the food was good but small portions and the prices way up and loud place , first and last next time I go to a real Italian restaurant with music and good spaghetti with meatballs. Parking: My car was parked by the dumpster outside.

Enzo's on the Lake is a beautiful hidden gem in a city that is rampant with generic cookie cutter chain dining choices. The restaurant has a stunning view of Lake Fairy. The atmosphere is romantic, elegant, one could say angelic. The outdoor venue is perfect for a summer evening or special occasion to enjoy the view of the sunset while you sip on either pre dinner or after dinner drinks. My wife, family and I are frequent flyers here at Enzo's. The service, atmosphere and food is always impeccable. We are never disappointed when we come. Highly recommend at least one visit, almost sure it will become a regular haunt for you.
