Food was good but once again service just is not up to par. We waited a half hour plus for our desert on a fixed menu. Coffee was done but desert still had not come. Waiter said three times it’s coming and then we had to take it home. No excuse for that and kind of ruins night. Restaurant was not even crowded.

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!

Tavlin is great. Relatively quiet. Food is always fresh and good. It is my "go to" place in Bergen County for a meat meal.
