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.

Disappointing Holiday Dinner We visited Lefkes for a special holiday dinner, but unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. Starters: The salad, tuna tartare, and octopus were all far too salty, making it hard to enjoy their flavors. The Lefkes shrimp roll was decent but nothing extraordinary. Entrees: The lemon potatoes and lamb chops were once again overly salty, which overshadowed the quality of the ingredients. The seafood pasta was better but still just average. Overall: Considering the high price point compared to similar restaurants, we were left disappointed, especially on a day meant to feel special. While some dishes were passable, the consistently over-seasoned plates were a major letdown. Would not recommend for a holiday celebration unless adjustments are made to the seasoning

We like the restaurant, but the women at the front desk insisted on giving us a table at the very entrance and when we complained they sent us to the worst table in the restaurant. There were many better tables available and they were empty by the time we left. I was shocked by their treatment.

I decided Lefkes was the perfect choice for Christmas dinner. I started with a “special” crab cake—delicious! The entree choice was the short ribs, always good. Service was excellent as always, with very accommodating staff, but I have to give a special shout out to Lisa and Christos. Thanks! I don’t hesitate to recommend Lefkes.

I highly recommend the grilled octopus. I would have it as an entree with the delicious Greek lemon potatoes.

It was very popular for a Monday, but I definitely enjoyed the ambience and the food was delicious, we had the dip sampler, the chicken and the short rib; everything was cooked and seasoned well! I’ve also been here for ladies night on Thursday and they have a good happy hour menu and a live DJ, had a great time!

The food is yummy but everything else is terrible. Go only early in the day. Don’t go during 6-9p to eat. They have a DJ at night and people come to party. They don’t have a dance floor. They have a medium size bar by the entrance that apparently 100 people who didn’t get a table try to hangout at and guess what… they have like 5-6 tables by that bar and if you get sat there lol goodluck not getting a drunk person fall down right on your table. The dining room is nice but u need to get a table away from the high traffic areas. Now lol… The waiters goal is to serve u as quick as possible to have high turnovers on the tables. Put it this way.. we weren’t even able to order dessert lol. They put a time limit on tables. However, u might have a better experience during lunch time or early dinner.
