    We were at Lefty's for a team dinner. The restaurant was pretty empty on a Wednesday evening. But the restaurant had nice look, with a good size bar, lots of tables with red white interior look. The menu had some delightful dishes in the menu. We started with some raw oysters, that had good taste. Then I got my entree of giant 20oz lobster tail. It was beautifully cooked, placed on top a lobster tail shell. The tail was cooked exceptionally well, moist soft, layered with butter. There were some baked potatoes and broccolis on the side with this dish. The service was good. Our tables were regularly cleaned after we finished. The dishes were served within a decent wait time. Overall we had a wonderful dinner time together here.

    Decided to treat myself to dinner tonight and went to Lefty's. It was delicious! I ordered the grilled salmon. It comes with a creamy Dijon caper sauce that is so good it could be a soup! Of course it's just enough and not at all over powering. Steamed broccoli and baked potato. Perfect dinner! Not too heavy and the salmon was cooked perfectly. Everything was cooked perfectly. I also recommend the snapper from past visits and the lobster bisque is divine! The service was great and the atmosphere was upbeat and inviting. Love this place!

    Excellent first time. The food was very tasty, the portions very reasonable, the staff very friendly and attentive (specially Gus) and the ambiance simple, elegant and colorful. Definitely coming back.

    I just cant say enough good things about our first trip to Lefty's. It was our 42nd anniversary and we wanted to find a new place, great food and comfortable setting and we got all 3 and more. We made an early (4:30pm) reservation as we live south of DFW. First customers in, greeted with a smile and decided to take a booth. Eduardo was our waiter and quite frankly it was more like a friend and we were visiting his house. Food: Only had tea for drinks and had a great crab cake appetizer. My wife had the stuffed lobster, baked potato and broccoli.... I had the pan fried lobster and shrimp, baked potato and corn on the cob. I would say the portion on mine was smaller than i expected but maybe that is because it was so good I wanted more.‍ Each had a desert, I had the chocolate cake and ice cream and she had the Key Lime Pie.. She was telling Eduardo how much she liked it and Chris, tge owner, came over and spent 10-15 min telling us about the history, special off menu items and just small talk. Ticket came in at $135 and we paid in cash.... and admittedly I am not a great tipper but was this night. And if Seafood isn't what you are looking for, there is a large selection of pasta, chicken and steak dishes that I am sure are fantastic also. Just cant get over how comfortable the place was to dine in. casual dress and neighborhood type feel.... Traffic of course sucks going south around 6PM but we plan on going back and I certainly recommend Lefty's

    One of the worst restaurants I've ever tried. I ordered a ribeye medium rare $45 which I have no problem paying. They overcooked the steak. I waited 35 minutes just to get it which I asked halfway is the steak ready it's medium rare. It's taking way too long. Asked to speak to a manager, which he never stopped by never offered to re-cook it. Their lobster bisque had no flavor. The bread that they served to the table is cold. Another dead giveaway is the restaurant is empty. Do not trust the rating on this restaurant it's not what it is .

    The ambience reminds us of a Connecticut sea side friendly restaurant. The service was spotless. Lefty's is our new favorite place.

    How casual is Lefty's? Would it be ok to wear a ball cap to dinner after playing golf? Thanks!

    I would say so. I wore a pair of jeans with a polo when I went. Casual enough I'd say

Even when we weren't sure about which appetizers we wanted she allowed us to split appetizers- a small portion where we got to try the apps. We tried the tenderloin crostini which was delicious. Along with coconut shrimp. The shrimp were ginormous. And the sauces were so good. Our fav was the mango marmalade. The best bread I have ever had in my life!!!! You know how sometimes they bring a roll to the table for the table to share? Not here boyeeeee Each person gets their own roll. I don't even know how to explain this heavenly bread. It truly is the best beard I have ever had before. I would come eat here again JUST FOR THE BREAD. The crab cake is out of this world. Huge jumbo clumps. Also comes with a variety of sauces. The wasabi one was our favorite. You must order the crab cake! My husband got the ribeye rare and said it was the best steak he has had, and he eats a ton of steak. I got their off menu item of carne asada tacos. The meat was sooooo tender. They don't use flank steak they use a tenderloin and it just melts. The mushrooms were Devine. Glad I ordered the carne asada. The adult Mac and cheese was good but just good. Brussels sprouts were good (not the best I have had) but I think I was also just so full by this point. The asparagus is huge!!! Oh the best finisher ever- the peanut butter pie!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!! I'm not even a dessert girl and I couldn't stop eating it. First time me and my husband were fighting over the last bite.

Eric, our waiter, was incredibly attentive despite how busy he was. Empty plates were cleared and waters were refilled in a timely manner. We also didn't have to wait much for our food to come out after ordering. WHAT WE ORDERED - chicken and waffle: I personally didn't order this, although this dish made it to the clean plate club - gulf shrimp and grits: this was beyonddd delicious and flavorful! The grits were so creamy and buttery. It came with a perfect amount of shrimp that were seasoned beautifully, had the perfect texture and bite, and had a nice touch of smokiness from the grill. The sauce and crunchy bacon bits truly brought the entire dish together to form the perfect bite - banana bread french toast: I was told this was alright - gumbo: We ordered 2 cups of these and had it as our appetizer. The gumbo had an abundant amount of chicken, sausage, rice, and the holy trinity. It truly tasted like authentic gumbo Coming from Southeast Texas where Creole food is more accessible, I am sooo glad my brother recommended this place. I am definitely coming back when I need my Creole fix!
