Great food and waitress. Cornbread, Jerk salmon bowl, mashed potatoes, and homemade ice cream were great. Salmon and potatoes were large portions. Probably my favorite salmon dish I have had at any restaurant. Chicken just okay. A band started at 6:30. We were sitting at a table near the bar and it was loud enough that we couldn’t talk so if that matters to you, ask for a table near the back of the restaurant.

Lefkes is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail truly made our dining experience exceptional. 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!
