    Lefkes is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail truly made our dining experience exceptional. Each course was perfectly timed, and they were always nearby, ensuring our glasses were full and that we had everything we needed. The team's knowledge of the menu and their recommendations were spot on, adding to the overall enjoyment. Lefkes has set a high standard for service—I can’t recommend it enough!

    A group of 7 in three generations was greeted with energy, smiles and terrific menu options. The service was the best, engaging with two small children, with wise options and great timing. Each course was a gem from appetizers to salad to fish and pasta entrees. A special birthday treat was delivered along with a candle in a delicious cheese cake! Roberto's got it right on all points! Definitely on our list for return visits!
