Overall, it was a solid experience. The food was good for the price point, and everything tasted fresh and house-made. Our server, Susan, did a great job—especially impressive given that it was New Year’s Eve and the restaurant was packed and very busy. We waited about 15 minutes past our reservation time, which felt reasonable for the night. If you enjoy wine, their selection is excellent and very fairly priced. Not a standout meal, but definitely a good, dependable choice.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

While Enzo's on the Lake offers beautiful views and good service, it is too loud for conversation. The $65 Short Rib Pappardelle was underwhelming and tasted bland. The Vongole was served in a red sauce rather than the classic garlic and olive oil; it was tasty, but not extraordinary. However, the Tiramisú was perfect just like Nonna's recipe. We had to wait 15-20 minutes for our table despite having a reservation

The food was pretty good with the penne vodka being the most impressive. The carbonara was just ok, nothing to write home about. The service was friendly and attentive until the very end when it was very crowded. Overall, though I would go back and give it another shot.
