    Dining at Lefkes was an incredible experience! The moment I walked in, I was struck by the stunning decor—it’s elegant yet inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for an enjoyable meal. The food was simply delicious—every dish was packed with authentic Greek flavors and beautifully presented. The dorado fish, in particular, was outstanding! The service was exceptional—our server, Jeff, was incredibly fast and attentive, the hostess was warm and welcoming, and the manager went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. This was an unforgettable experience, and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

    I enjoyed my visit to the Red Rooster yesterday. The temperature, taste and quantity of food was very good. Most of the dishes we experienced was excellent. We tasted several of the menu selections. Loved the deviled eggs, fried chicken and jerk salmon . Service was very professional but friendly. The price for the quality of the food we ate was more than welcomed. I loved my experience at Red Rooster and would choose this restaurant again if I’m in this area again.

    Fresh and excellent omakase, perfectly choreographed and presented, as good or better than any place in NYC that is double the price. No need to cross the bridge for a topnotch experience.
