Service was good. Could barely hear my wife over the live music being played. The food was not very good. Whatever sauce they put on the outside of the lobster ravioli bowl stunk. My wife's chicken was bland. Our stuffed shrimp appetizer was okay. If the chocolate mousse and creme brûlée were not so good the meal might have been a complete waste.

Room is too noisy with loud noise from TV which broadcast soccer game. I asked to turn it down a little bit but the manager said no. He said people are watching despite only 3 tables including us ion the room

We eat at Lagar when we're in the neighborhood (we live in North NJ). When flying in/out of EWR we always try to stop in. We enjoy the food, the staff, the “locals” and the wine list!
