Perfect chicken, delicious sides, drinks were fabulous, and we enjoyed the music on Friday night which set a lively mood but we could still hear each other talk. Our server was so pleasant too. Definitely recommend to anyone, wish we could visit more frequently!

I always have a great experience at Roberto’s. This time was exceptional, we had an early reservation @ 4 and it was not as busy, just a different experience. Food and service were excellent, and vibe was a bit more relaxed

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.
