    We started our evening at the 1855 Lounge. It’s a beautiful venue with high level cocktails and scotch. Great way to start! Walked over to Lionne next door and had an amazing dinner. Enjoyed delicious lobster bisque, a traditional NLI flavor. Our entree was beautifully browned scallops, black rice with light raisins for a little sweet, tiny tomatoes and spicy micro greens. We were very impressed with both the great flavors and original presentation. The dessert we chose was a yummy chocolate cake with fresh fruit, sherbet and lemon cream. It was truly a great dinner at a new venue that didn’t disappoint at all!

    Our first time at the Greek, but we will definitely be back. Food was excellent, our server Emilianna (sic) was very attentive. It was a football weekend, so some noise was to be expected due to the large parties, but we older folks were able to converse easily without shouting. Ask for a table upstairs if you can. It's a BYOB but they do have some wines for sale. We had a trio of dips with pita, lamb kebobs, lamb chops, & moussaka. Everyone loved their meal. Plus parking was easy!
