   Had a cozy table in the corner left of the vestibule when you enter. Really a bar table but we got served drinks and dinner. Food was very good as well as the service.

   Despite it being Valentine’s Day and super crowded, the quality of our food and service were top notch

   Excellent food and service was reasonable but the noise level on early Valentine's evening was so loud we had trouble hearing each other. The couple next to us at a very close table tried to strike up a conversation but we could not understand most of what they said.

   Always great food and excellent service from Angel. Outstanding service especially praiseworthy due to Valentine Day full house. Salmon, pistachio trout and pan fried shrimp and lobster are longtime winners!

   Sauteed crab claws were great. Chilean sea bass was incredible.

   First time to dine at Lefty’s and I was disappointed. I made a reservation for 7:15pm and our party was not seated until 7:45. When we walked in, the bar is the first thing you approach. There was an extremely intoxicated women who was screaming profanity and at one point crawled across the bar seats to speak to another couple. She approached us and was extremely inappropriate. She mentioned she had been there since lunch. The gentleman seating tables also mentioned she had been there since lunch drinking. We were seated and it took 20 min for a waiter to come to our table. Food was average. Service was not good. I was really excited about dining here. Tonight was not a good impression for a place we heard so much about.

   Has declined. Bread is now served cold. Oysters on the half shell were not fully shucked. Corn was tasteless. I doubt we'll be back, and we've been dining there for over 20 years. This was our 2nd underwhelming experience in a row.

    I started with the lobster bisque and had the grilled salmon for my main dish. The salmon was cooked perfectly. We’ve been there several times and the food is consistently very good.
