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.

Our waitress was great! Food took quite a while to come out unlike our previous experience. Bread arrived right before our entrees which was not ideal. Everything was very tasty including desserts & coffee! Saw their Christmas Day menu too which was exceptionally good value especially in comparison to the other Westchester restaurants offering same 👍🏻

Food was delicious, and have been there several times. Only draw back from my most recent visit was that I was seated in the front, and when new guests came in, there was a cold draft that kept interrupting my/ my party’s comfort. Fortunately enough, the electric grill in front of us helped, but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that. Would definitely go back again.
