    What an amazing experience at Lefkes, celebrating Christmas Day with my daughter she ordered the Ribeye Steak with the Truffle Shallot Butter cooked to perfection and the taste was amazing, my daughter couldn’t wait to cut into the steak. Lefteris was so attentive to the customers and made sure everything was perfect. Mauricio made sure the service was amazing. . For sure will go back thank you Lefkes for a beautiful night.

    I had an exceptional dining experience at this sushi omakase restaurant. The attention to detail, both in the presentation and the flavors, was truly remarkable. Each piece of sushi was prepared with the utmost care, showcasing the chef’s incredible skill and dedication to the craft. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the pairing of flavors was both innovative and harmonious. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the evening even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for an unforgettable omakase experience in Fort Lee NJ , this is the place to go. Highly recommended!
