    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!

    We were there to celebrate a birthday and the food was amazing and our server was great. The one issues i had and i have been going to this restaurant for over 10 years and this is the first time that i have ever had an issue. Other servers and busboys kept coming over to the table and wanted to take our plates. It was very annoying and we felt rushed. The once good thing is that i went and spoke to the manager and he was shocked and said he would talk with the staff and he did the right thing, I will not let this stop me from going back.

    We were half an hour late since the traffic driving in from CT was terrible but they were really nice about it even though the restaurant was packed. We were going to to a program across the street and they rushed our dinner for us. Best brsnzino I’ve ever eaten.
