    Food was outstanding . The wait was long past our reservation (about 45+ minutes) and it took some time to get service once we were seated but, it was Christmas eve.

    Overall a fun and positive choice for Christmas Eve family dinner. It had been several years since my last experience here at Lelli’s Inn. I will not let it be that long till my next time. Very busy as expected, but service kept up, and the decorations were festive. Steaks were great and the Veal Parm was a winner.

    It was a Miserable Christmas Eve Experience. The staff did everything they could to make it a wonderful evening, but they oversold the restaurant. We were placed at a folding table in a room so loud that you could not even hear the people you were sitting with. They crammed people into every nook and cranny. It completely ruined the evening! Most of the food was cold when we received it, and the time between courses was very long. I expected a more extended dinner on a busy holiday night, but this went way beyond that. Once again, this is not a reflection on the staff. They were trying, but the number of people they crammed in didn't stand a chance!

    Lelli’s did not disappoint. Haven’t been there in several years. If you want excellent filet plus all the sides, it’s worth the splurge, esp. for special occasions. Our server Latosha was excellent. Thanks for a lovely evening and delicious meal.

    Lelli’s never disappoints. It was a very busy evening but the staff was excellent in both attentiveness and pace. Food was delicious as always. One of my favorite restaurant and am thankful it is only 25 mins away. If you have never been, you are missing out!

    Overheard another waitress being rude to our waitress not far from our table, which should never happen near customers. Soup wasn’t ready. Restaurant was out of Mostaccioli noodles. Prices increased significantly and the portion sizes decreased. The antipasto tray is an old staple at Lelli’s and now it’s changed to a mediocre plate of cheese and meat. The side pasta for $10-13 is now tiny. We have been coming here for many many years and not sure we will come back based on last nights experience. I was supposed to host a work event here and now I’m looking for another location.

    Everything was perfect. Server was wonderful. She fit us like family. The turkey leg I was served for my dinner was a bit off for me. Took it home to try to eat. Every other guests dinner seemed to be great for them. Love the restaurant very much. 3 Thanksgiving there.
