    The pumpkin bisque and butternut squash/creme fraiche appetizers were absolutely delicious. The traditional Thanksgiving main course was not only delicious but such generous portions! We both took home "doggie bags". The pumpkin cheesecake and tiramisu deserts were likewise delicious and very ample in size. Staff was attentive but not intrusive as usual. Thanks for a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner!

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!

    Great appetizers of vegetable chips and pita with dips started our meal. Beverages arrived quickly. Two of us had fish and it was delicious. My husband had lamp chops, which were perfectly done. Service was very good and timely. The restaurant was jammed, but noise level was fine. We could have conversation without shouting. We’ll be back to enjoy the great food and service.
