Maybe we were there on an off night.
The bar was hopping, the restaurant had only a few other tables filled.
Asked for a wine list and were told: Â "Tell me what you want", asked what kinds of Chardonnay and were told "We have a house". Â Asked what brand the house was, were met with a deep sigh, and the server left, went to the bar and came back with a wine list and asked to take our orders.
We asked for a few minutes, were met with a sigh. Â After looking over the menu, the wine selection, and the plastic flowers we opted to leave.
The server certainly was clearly not interested in us, the food, or anything.
I was astounded reading some past reviews (2009) because our experience was "awesome, fantastic, exquisite".  The quality of food was the best.  The food was artisinal- a term overused and misused but which applies here.  The pasta is imported from Italy, the sauces, the soups, the tiramisu, all handcrafted.  I enjoy my food- I don't want to be distracted by boisterous noise, by television sets  that don't allow me to experience the taste of the  food.  Here, the atmosphere was wonderful.  The service was timely, knowledgeable, friendly without being intrusive.  The minestrone soup was handmade- with all fresh vegetables hand cut.  The potato soup was creamy with a hint of bacon.   The lasagna was wonderful and at a price that I could not believe for the quality.  The sea bass was beautifully done with a  cajun sauce that enhanced the fish and did not overwhelm it.  The sensitivity to flavors was remarkable as was the quality of all the food.  It  obviously is a blending of excellent quality with the craftsmanship and skill that makes the food artisinal.  The prices are remarkably reasonable.  WE drove 30 miles and will do it again and again. Oh yes, try the handmade tiramisu with it's lovely fusion  of espresso and whipping cream... SO GLAD we found D'Agostino's!
Review Source:We visit this restaurant as least once a month and love it! Â We sit on the bar side since it is more lively but the menu is now the same on both sides. Â Everything is excellent from the pasta to the fish. Â My favorites are the Tilapia and the Lasagna. Â You can play Keno and watch games on TV. Â We often have trouble getting a seat on Friday and Saturday nights but they will reserve tables if you remember to call!
Review Source:The manager has showed concern for my review and has contacted me. Â In the interest of the commitment of Yelpers I am leaving a 3-star review until I can re-visit the restaurant again with a client or clients in early June when I am back in Michigan. Â I had a few hiccups but being an engineer one data point outlier in statistics isn't always valid. Â Let's re-visit. Â This is the first review who has showed feedback whatsoever. Â
I will contact the contrite and cordial manager and look forward to (UNANNOUNCED) re-visit. Â :-) Â I think very positively that other multi-million dollar outfits or chains are aloof and this is the only location to have a dialogue about a sincere Yelp. Â I am excited to visit in June.
I went there on a Thursday night. Â It's an older Italian joint that has more of a bar feel to it. Â I ordered the Prime Rib and Perch. Â It was $15,99 and I thought it was very good. Â Maybe even a little surprisingly good. Â My friends got some steak special that they both seemed to enjoy. Â It was busy. Â I'm not sure there was even an open table. Â The place seemed clean. Â Parking was good. Â Lighting again felt more like a bar. Â Overall a decent place.
Review Source:This review is for the Navajo Lounge. For anyone who doesn't know, D'Agostino's and Najavo Lounge are in the same building and this is a family owned and run place.
This place is always at the top of our list for nights out in Bridgman when visiting from Chicago. We love the fried pickles and their homemade, hand tossed style pizza is great! It is not deep dish, nor thin and crispy crust and the sauce is slightly sweet. Everything is reasonably priced and they have good specials-on Thursday nights you can get $1 drafts! For all you other Chicago tourists, these $1 drafts DO NOT come in plastic solo cups-this is a 12 oz pour in a cold glass mug!
Every time we visit the Navajo Lounge during dinner to late evening it's busy, if not full. Anyone who visits this place more than a few times knows that Toni is the best and friendliest server and if you ask any of the locals they'll agree.
Barnaby is right about THAT server but almost all the other servers are very friendly and quick! Barnaby is not right about their food though...We eat all over downtown Chicago and we still love this place...If you had something mediocre you must have been at a different restaurant or maybe you were expecting it to be mediocre when you saw the price tag (low price)!
The food is OK--average Italian. You get soup AND salad with your meal, which is really nice. Service was good, if a bit slow. The steaks and chops were probably a bit better than the pasta.
The owners' son (I think) plays music on a Yamaha keyboard on the weekends. Straight out of The Wedding Singer. Love songs of the '70s and '80s performed in the style of the Doogie Howser theme song. People dance. I grew up in California and I haven't seen a place like this since 1987!
