I decided Lefkes was the perfect choice for Christmas dinner. I started with a “special” crab cake—delicious! The entree choice was the short ribs, always good. Service was excellent as always, with very accommodating staff, but I have to give a special shout out to Lisa and Christos. Thanks! I don’t hesitate to recommend Lefkes.

So much fun! I've never grilled my own meat at a table before and felt so sophisticated. The s'mores were heavenly! Try all the sauces on the table, they're all delicious--especially the sweet soy with pear and ginger.
