Lisa and I had dinner at Lazlo’s the other night after seeing a movie. The short rundown: We’ll probably be back.
The restaurant is located just a bit north of Center on 192nd Ave., a little out of the way for most people but not “out in the boonies”. They have three different dining areas that I saw. There’s a regular dining room, divided up by chest-high walls into smaller areas. The bar area is open seating, with a mix of high and low tables as we ll as booths along one wall. There is also an outdoor patio, where we would have sat if it had been a few degrees warmer. I didn’t have my jacket, Lisa did.
The food was pretty good. Lisa had a salmon salad on assorted greens, with a really good avocado dressing. I had their Reuben, which while not in my top 3 or 4 of all time was pretty good. Both of us ended up having leftovers for lunch the next day. We also had some beer cheese soup — pretty good. I like the gouda ale soup at Upstream better, but we just quit going there because we got utterly lousy service the last 2-3 times. The soup was rich and creamy, and they brought out some beer bread which was also pretty good.
We each had a Bermuda Triangle, which is an odd mix of a dark beer, some dark rum and root beer. Lisa liked it… I didn’t. Service was not the best, but we were in the bar and there was apparently no assigned wait staff. I think if we’d been in either of the other areas we would have had a little more prompt service. It wasn’t horrible, just a little slower than I would have expected considering the light crowd.
Lazlo’s is at 2425 S 192nd Ave, open Sunday – Thursday 11 AM – 10 PM and Friday & Saturday 11 – 11. They do takeout too.
