    Always stellar service and delicious high quality food. They have revamped their desserts which is great the mango and coconut sorbet are delightful and refreshing! Outdoor seating is a must in spring/summer.

    Saturday night Birthday Celebration! I've been wanting to try the food at Lefkes for a while now and felt like it would be great for my husband's birthday dinner. My friends were seated promptly upon arrival due to having reservations. Once I arrived with my husband for his surprise birthday dinner our server Herbert was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and his recommendations were very helpful in choosing our apps and entrees. Since we were a party of 8 it was decided to choose several different apps and salads. All the food was absolutely amazing! The ambiance was great. They had a live DJ and a gentleman who walked around taking pictures. There were a few things that I wasn't fond of, the first thing was that they turned the lights down very low, second thing was that the guy who was taking pictures kept coming back to the table for more pictures which was a little annoying and the third was that our server although very funny and nice didn't get our food orders correct. I'm not sure if him not writing it down was the reason for that but that was upsetting because my husband didn't get what he ordered and it was his birthday dinner. Thank God we had great company and conversation so it wasn't a huge deal life has so many other things to focus on but a server should know with a party with more than 2 people you should write things down lol. The decor was stunning, they also have beautiful outdoor dining once weather permits and valet parking. This place is great for large dinner parties.

    What can I say about Lefkes, except for this place is insane. I think Friday night and Saturday night they just go all out with a DJ and napkin throwing. The vibe is crazy. We also dined here and ordered the sushi...who would've thought that sushi at a Greek restaurant would be this good. Sushi seemed a bit pricey, but for the atmosphere totally worth it. Service matched the price and vibe. Exceptional. We also met the manager of Lefkis. She's also dope as hell too. She knows how to make customers feel they need to come back. We waited about an hour after our reservation time and she hooked us up. Definitely knows how to please customers to get repeat customers. Coming back any chance I get.

    Had a BLAST going on Saturday at 9pm for a drink. Loved the mango habanero Smokey drink was absolutely delicious. Beautiful place and people! So many bdays with people celebrating and dressed up which was so festive! The DJ, live drummer, napkin throwing, smoke machine... had so much fun dancing my butt off for hours!! Cannot wait to come back! (DJ starts after 8pm. Super party time was I think after 11pm.)

    The food is good, I had a sushi roll with truffle, mayo. The drinks are very good service is good. Ambience is fine. They may get a party after 10 o'clock. But the crowd can get a little rude and rowdy. I recommend going before 10 o'clock unless you're looking for a wild night.

    What a beautiful place! I came here on a friend's recommendation, and I absolutely loved it. The service was fantastic; our waitress was kind and friendly. He recommended some great dishes, and the food was extremely delicious. The restaurant's interior is beautifully elegant. We chose to sit outside because the weather was sunny, and I really enjoyed it. There were some celebrations happening nearby, making it a lovely spot for a family dinner or a relaxing meal. They offer a variety of food options, some of which can be pricey, but they also have great deals during the week.

    Had an incredible lunch at Lefkes Estiatorio in Englewood Cliffs. The decor is absolutely beautiful and the atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, making it a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a great meal. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked tender, flavorful, and truly outstanding. The short ribs were just as impressive, rich and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We ended the meal with the orange cake, which was the perfect finish light, fragrant, and absolutely delicious. What made the experience even better was the exceptional service from James and Christol. They were attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the entire meal. Their professionalism and warmth elevated the whole experience. Highly recommend for a beautiful lunch with amazing food, a lovely atmosphere, and top-notch service! Evee and Harry

    Visited Lefkes for happy hour on a Friday. We were seated quickly, but it turns out, the happy hour menu is only available in the bar area. This was annoying, but we moved to a table closer to the bar after some griping from the host. The waitstaff was friendly and accommodating otherwise. We ordered a meatball pizza, fries, rock shrimp, calamari, mini gyros, and the buffalo chicken souvlaki. They were all OK. Drinks were reasonably priced for happy hour. It's a nice restaurant, but the food wasn't anything I'd come back for. Only worth it for happy hour.

    The ambiance here is lovely. It's a beautiful restaurant with great service. I do enjoy their appetizers more than the entrees. Last time I tried the beef gyros which were okay. My favorites are their calamari and sushi rolls.

    Came here for lunch with some friends. We had a reservation and were seated right away. The service was excellent. Our server made recommendations, explained the best dishes in the menu, and even offered us cookies at the end of our meal. I ordered a burger and side salad with a drink. My drink was great if you like spicy and smoky margaritas. The burger was phenomenal and the side salad was good (could have used a bit more dressing for my taste). Everyone else in my party also enjoyed their meals. I will be back to try more of their great menu selections.

    My cousin decided to celebrate her birthday at Lefkes for Happy Hour and it was a great choice. The place is very spacious with indoor and outdoor seating options. The servers checked in on us frequently and made sure our glasses stayed full. The Happy Hour cocktails we tried were all really good and they also have a decent selection of beer. As for food, we ordered one of each appetizer on the Happy Hour list and then did a second round of our favorites. The Veggie Chips were fried perfectly, not too oily and paired extremely well with the tzatziki; we doubled up on those. I also really liked the Buffalo Souvlaki. It was cooked perfectly and the Buffalo sauce added a different flavor to the traditional dish. I feel like it's really easy to have overcooked, dried out souvlaki but that wasn't the case here. Honestly, I enjoyed every dish we ordered. Needless to say I left very full and satisfied. If their Happy Hour is any indication of how Lefkes is overall, they're probably very good! I'd come back.

I had never had steamed skate anywhere before so my acquaintance told me that I wouldn't like it because it's "pungent" but I'm so glad I got to try it because I LOVED IT. So savory, flavorful, and packed with umami. Another good thing is their extensive menu. I can't wait to come back to try the rest of their dishes. The interior decor is very nice as well. The high ceilings and black color theme give it an elevated feel. And the staff is very nice and accommodating CONS: their air conditioning was broken when we went in the middle of summer (which I'm sure they'll eventually fix). I didn't mind because I love the heat but my acquaintance was sweating uncomfortably. Also, the food was good and some dishes were great but I wouldn't say it's the "best I ever had." The grilled beltfish was very plain (and bland) until I squeezed lemon juice all over it. It's the type of place that has endless comfort food and is your regular go-to spot (or go to order in) when you feel too lazy or tired to cook (or hungover) rather than a special occasion spot This place is decent and reliable.

Established in 1969 on the site of the former Bicycle Club, Giovanni's Bicycle Club features irresistible flavors of Italian cuisine from family recipes using the finest ingredients. The reservation was easily made via OpenTable but was not necessary on a Sunday. Upon entering this two-story building, my partner and I were greeted by the host, and a few patrons were enjoying their meal on two enclosed outside patio decks with fans in the summer, so we joined them. The windows could be raised for that inclement weather, and heaters turned on when needed. They do have a main dining room, with the front bar much fancier. A few small bicycle artifacts make the place memorable and unique. We decided on the Philly Cheesesteak and Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad. Complimentary bread with dipping oil started our meal.

I had to hunt her down for the check. I also didn't care for the location of the men's bathroom; literally right next to the bar. We also had to move our seats once because the opposite side of bar near the men's room was right next to the front door. It was freezing and the couple next to us had their coats on the entire time.

Although ordering in Korean would be the easiest, I believe they can be foreigner friendly with patience. The food was spectacular! Fried fish is not as prevalent in American culture, but is a deep comfort food for many Koreans and asians. You can taste the freshness and the fact that they dont overly grease their fish. Seasoning is just right, not too sweet not too bland, and providing lemon to add a refreshing taste was amazing. Their side dishes were spectacular as well. My only gripe would be that they dont provide enough side dishes compared to the amount of fish I ordered. If you are looking for a comfort food or maybe you are looking to try something different, I highly recommend Oh Gui for your next meal. Just pack a few mints if you come here for lunch!
