    Since moving to Seattle last year I found my self yearning for a piece of home and a taste of the rich and flavorful culinary culture of Puerto Rico. I was hooked my first time eating here the chef knows how to carefully balance the taste of the island with a new and surprising flare. The Lechon plate every single time has been so tender and bursting with flavor. From the India Malta that gave me such nostalgia to the sweet and moist tres leche cake which gave me a sense of comfort only my abuela used to achieve. Words can’t describe how much Lenox has made living on my own in Seattle a more enjoyable adventure. The staff are so nice, they even go the extra mile in asking about potential allergies, substitutions, and were so hospitable unlike other establishments that feel cold and expensive. This is a great spot for a relaxing dinner experience especially for anyone with sensory issues and for fellow autistic people.

    We had a perfect dining experience from start to finish! Our appetizers, main course, drinks and desserts were beyond delicious! All of the flavors popped! Service was impeccable, even though the restaurant was at capacity. The atmosphere was lively at the bar and throughout the entire space, even in the newest area that recently opened. We are looking forward to our next visit!
