We always enjoy a meal at Dagon. The food is very good, though a bit pricey. The breads are terrific! We decided to share several starters rather than get an entree - we really like the leek mushroom soup and potato tart specials, as well as the dumplings and the cigar.

What an amazing experience at Lefkes, celebrating Christmas Day with my daughter she ordered the Ribeye Steak with the Truffle Shallot Butter cooked to perfection and the taste was amazing, my daughter couldn’t wait to cut into the steak. Lefteris was so attentive to the customers and made sure everything was perfect. Mauricio made sure the service was amazing. . For sure will go back thank you Lefkes for a beautiful night.
