   The food and ambience was excellent which helped us get over how atrocious the service was—everything from waiting long times to get menus ( we had to ask the hostess for them after waiting a while ). get drinks, get water in glasses,get orders taken,, finished plates bussed. Making situation worse was the fact that our neighboring tables weren’t having these issues. Every time our waiter would be at a neighboring table he would turn away quickly and leave even as we tried to get his attention. Also, we sat with finished entree plates in front of us for 10-15 minutes. A couple who came in after us finished their appetizers. Bus staff immediately swooped in to clear their appetizer plates while ours still remained unbussed. Was bizarre. Showed a lack of organization one oversight in the main dining room . Also poor training. The manager immediately called us after we left to apologize for the poor service ( as I indicated how bad it was on the check which I had never done before ) which was thoughtful and showed care. She said she would review the videotape to see what happened. She did not offer any other token of apology. Also, for the prices they charge, the wine list is woefully subpar. In fact, they don’t even name the wines on the menu which I have never seen before! For example, the Chardonnay ( which I had hoped to have) only said Russian River Valley on the wine menu . When I asked the brand/make of wine I was told Robert Mondavi (which is a Napa Wine and not what I consider premium. ) A far cry from a premium Russian River wine. The food was good but with so many great restaurants in the area that my husband and I frequent, I don’t think we will be back.

   The environment was great! The waiting staff was very kind and patient. They recommended many dishes from the menu and specials. I enjoyed every dish and look forward to returning. Every dish had its own unique taste and I couldn’t have enough. I will be back soon for some other dishes!

   Had an exceptional dinner at Lenny’s North with out-of-town friends! The service was great, and the atmosphere was inviting. I chose the pan-seared diver scallops, which were perfectly cooked and served with a medley of mixed mushrooms—absolutely delicious. My friends enjoyed the crispy fried calamari and the crab appetizer, both of which were flavorful and well-prepared. For the main course, the Duck special was a standout—crispy on the outside and juicy inside, accompanied by mashed potatoes and broccoli. We ended the meal with the chocolate lava cake, a rich and indulgent dessert. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I highly recommend.

   Lenny’s was definitely worth a visit! As newcomers to the neighborhood, we stumbled upon this charming little gem of a restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and Tony, who took our order, was incredibly kind, welcoming, and had a hilarious sense of humor. Absolutely worth trying!

   Lenny’s North was the perfect spot for a lunch date with my husband. The atmosphere was cozy but upscale, making it great for a relaxed afternoon out. We started with the fresh mozzarella and tomato, which was simple but so fresh and flavorful. For our mains, I had the homemade pappardelle with bolognese that was perfectly cooked while my husband went for the crispy skin wild salmon, which came with a super delicious light, garlicky white wine sauce. We shared a side of parmesan whipped potatoes that were amazing as well. The service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed, making it a great spot for an unhurried, delicious lunch. We’ll definitely be back!!

   Food was great and workers were very kind. My main problem was the waiting and noise level. We had our reservation for 8:15 and didn’t get seated until way after and didn’t have a server for a long time. It’s a bit understanding since it was valentine’s day but i feel like they should’ve planned out the reservations better to avoid this. we ended up getting our food really late past 10 and besides that, there was so much yelling from the other tables that it was hard to enjoy our time, we could barely hear each other talking. It got to a point where people from nearby tables told them to quiet down and they got offended so it turned into another exchange of cursing each other out very loudly. Overall, the food was amazing and the servers as well, just wouldn’t recommend going on valentine’s day, or any holiday.

   Food was very good, service was slow as the restaurant was overly busy on Valentines Day and our server was polite, but seemed annoyed.

   I have eaten her numerous times and this was hands down the worst experience. We ordered four entrees, two of which were filet mignon medium rare. One cane out perfect while the other was boarder line well done. I showed the waiter and he said he will get another medium rare and left. He came out with a cold steak with so much grizzle and it was ice cold. The entire experience was over two hours and I left hungry and will probably not return.

   Unfortunately very disappointing. Hopefully an off night, but I will not be going back to find out.
