I had a great experience at Lenox. I tried empanada, pollo al carbon, lechon, ceviche, tres hermanas, and tostones. Everything was delicious! The empanada with shredded beef and creamy queso was outstanding. Tres hermanas offered a unique twist on salad with tasty vegetables and dressing. The fresh fish in the ceviche, combined with passionfruit salsa and avocado puree, made it a refreshing appetizer. The grilled chicken in pollo al carbon was juicy, but I wish it was served warm and had more flavor in the meat. The lechon is great with a nice crispy layer of skin and tender meat, especially the creamy mustard green is so tasty. I highly recommend coming as a group to try different dishes and I would love to come back to try their brunch menu. read more

Great place - been meaning to visit and finally got a push to go when Bon Appetit featured them in their 2025 best restaurant list. The flavors are tamer than I'd expected, and for the price it's pretty decent. But I appreciate that they're offering food that you won't easily find elsewhere in Seattle as far as I know. The tres hermanas was okay, and enjoyed the pollo al carbon entree better. Service was really friendly! read more

I was first impressed by Daniel's service. He patiently answered all my questions, double checked with kitchen for the ingredients, and accommodated my dietary need. the interactions with the staff from here is great as well. The restaurant is clean and has a relaxed vibe. The prawn mofongo is good. It looks like they forgot to place a slice of lemon for my dish. read more

Went here impromptu after a comedy show and it was a pleasant surprise. Everything was delicious and so well balanced. All the staff were friendly and so knowledgeable about the food and had great recommendations on what to order. They have a seasonal holiday pie that is to die for.

Not gonna lie, I was a bit scared or afraid or hesitant to even try this place. Not because the food looked nasty or anything, but because of how highly they present themselves. Lately, a lot of food places that have such elaborate presentations haven't really been worth it for various reason. Probably my fault for having high expectations. Could be due to the competition from near by restaurants offering less frills, but just as tasty foods. Well let me tell you something brothers and sisters.... My experience was almost perfect. I really felt like I got what I paid for. I even hit their service with a curve ball and they didn't even hassle me. What was the curve ball? Well I would tell, but then everyone reading this would do it on purpose to see if it works. Lets start with interior design first and ill talk about the food next. The interior was very cool. I felt like I was in a swanky restaurant somewhere else. Their color scheme, choice of colors, materials, and music was on point. I did notice the way the lights are set up for our table made it hard to get photos without using my own light source. They have plenty of photos already so It doesn't make me much of a difference. Either way, I cant wait to come back and try the patio out back when the weather clears up. My food was delicious. We absolutely enjoyed everything we ate, besides the cinnamon whip creme that came with my dessert. They made up for it with their unique tasting and homemade looking sauce that comes on every table. From what I could tell the drinking water didnt have any unexlected flavors and all dining utensils where clean to my standards. We ordered the alcapurrias for starters, the steak for the main, and the pumpkin flan that I think was actually pumpkin pie. The alcapurrias really surprised me. Yes they are shareable as a starter dish, but really only for 2 or maybe 3 people. Its like a long pastry thats made of a compacted and fried grain and filled with a tasty meat sauce. Super odd to eat and super yummy. The steak dish came with several sides that were very tasty. My steak was juicy and tender. I ordered medium and it was cooked proper in my opinion. The fried plantains were also prepared and cooked the way I like. Just plump enough and not overly cooked or crispy and not overly seasoned. The onion puree was also surprisingly delicious and I wanted much more of it. It even made the other foods taste better when I dipped them in it. The pumpkin flan was just ok and tasted more like a slightly airier pumpkin pie. The cinnamon whip honestly tasted like someone put a wrong ingredient in it. Although It almost... almost paired with the cracker. I also ordered a non alcoholic lime drink which was tasty, but was in a short cup full of ice and expensive. The only way to salvage the drink is to sip it and wait for the ice to melt. Last is the parking situation and final remarks. Nothing but paid street parking and parking lots in the area, which is all youll find downtown. Luckily in this location there is less crowding so parking is relatively easy. I highly recommend making the venture to this location to experience their fine Caribbean dining. I was a bit hesitant to come, but Im not mad I waited based on past reviews and photos. My experience shows that they have been listening to the customers. The food I ordered has pretty much been on the menu, but are improved versions. So glad they read more

Let me first start off by saying that I am so thankful that there was two reservations left on Valentine's Day or else my girlfriends and I would've missed how phenomenal our experience was at Lenox. A few of my girlfriends and I had a dinner reservation at Lenox and we were greeted with warmth. The ambiance was beautiful! The playlist in the background was great to where you could still hear the music, but not too loud and you could still hear your conversations. We loved the menus and how you can tell that Lenox really represents family as there were images of the chef's family on the menus. I ordered the Pollo al Carbon, and it was delicious. Honestly I wanted to lick the plate and I have been dreaming of this meal ever since. They recommend ordering to where you can share your meals together which is what my friends and I did. My girlfriends had the Lechon and Pepper Steak. Great portions and the coco greens that were served with the Lechon was truly a *chef kiss*. We followed up with desert and shared Tres Leches and Bunnuelos, both were so good but Bunnuelos was my favorite. As far as drinks go, we all agreed that the Rosa Bonita and D.T.M.F. were our favorites! My girlfriend's and I are planning another reservation soon and we can't wait. Chef Jhonny Reyes was so personable with our meals and kept checking in with us. The service and food was outstanding. The restaurant was very clean and beautiful. I can see why you were voted one of the best restaurants in 2025! Thank you for an amazing Valentine's Day dinner read more

I was really excited to dine here because when you walk in the vibes are amazing as well as the ambience, but the food was very much subpar. I understand what they're trying to do and it looks good on paper, but it wasn't good on my plate. Even the alcoholic beverages were disappointing. I think the chef should redo the menu and have a taste test with unbiased people who know about West Indian food. I will be back in Seattle in a few weeks and I will be giving Lennox another try because although I did not enjoy my first experience, I do think it may have just been an awful night and I'm willing to come again. read more

Lenox - Alcapurria * - Latin American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My family and I celebrated 3 birthdays at one meal here! For a cocktail I ordered a Craftsman (brown butter washed rye, Lenox dark rum blend, Clement Bana Cane, chocolate and orange bitters). It was the kind of drink where the complicated and strong flavors merge together to give a buzz (but doesn't leave you buzzy). The restaurant, which has Afro-Latin food, recommends sharing the dishes --- and we happily did that. We ordered the Pollo al Carbon, Tres Hermanas (roasted corn, pickled cherry, summer squash and farmer's cheese); Mofongo (Pacific Blue Prawn, mashed plantain, chiccharon, shrimp criolla broth); habichuelas and garlic rice; and coco greens (mustard greens and coconut potlikker). For dessert, we shared a tres leches cake and a flan du queso. All the dishes were excellent; delicious; complicated and complementary flavors. The decor of the restaurant was stylish with an emphasis on light colors, which give it a friendly feel. The restaurant was also crowded as it's popular. Our waiter was high energy and friendly. As it's located in the hip Belltown neighborhood we went to other places afterwards to continue enjoying the evening. (FYI, the restaurant did add a 20% service charge to the bill.) read more

So good. Must try. This is family style so make sure to order a good amount of food. The hush puppies are a highlight as well as the ceviche. The Lechon is super crispy skin and soft and buttery meat. The chicken melts in your mouth and the greens are tender and delicious. I would go back without a doubt. The service is great. Friendly and fun. Not super fast but still worth it. read more

If I could give it half stars it'd be more like 3.5. The atmosphere is airy, the sky lights and plants add to the ambiance. We started with a fried plantain/cassava appetizer, alcapurria, which had a great texture and the pickled onion toppers were very complementary to the richness of the shell and the beef filling. The slight disappointment was from our main dish, bistec. The meat itself was dry, with the end pieces leaning towards toughness. It was too charred for my liking as the burnt flavor overpowered and overshadowed the otherwise well-prepared accompaniments of chanterelle mushrooms, corn, and tomatoes. Here's my frustration- the waiter asked if we wanted rice with the dish since it doesn't come with it, and it seemed like our options were either garlic rice or beans and rice. We didn't look at the menu and the waiter didn't mention the price. It wasn't until we received the bill that we realized the rice and beans were priced individually, amounting to $17. For what are typically basic sides, this felt unreasonably steep, especially when paired with a $40 entrée that arguably should include such elements. While there were aspects of the meal I appreciated, these issues--both in execution and service--left me feeling less than satisfied with the overall experience. read more

4.5 Stars I love Puerto Rican food and I was excited to see this pop-up, well, pop-up! The Clarified Piña Colada ($18) was refreshing and delicious. Shrimp Motongo ($20) was super flavorful and wonderful - those shrimp had super long antennae though! Lol. The mofongo itself was garlicky and great. Cute, Stylish, breezy interior.

Definitely a delicious experience and eating each dish family style is recommended so that you can try everything. read more

Ever wonder what happens when you take ten ravenous office warriors to a fancy Puerto Rican joint and decline their precious tasting menu? Let me tell you about our adventure at Lenox, where our waiter's eye-roll could have powered a small Caribbean island. Picture this: Miami vibes without the mandatory sequins and spray tans. Instead, we got palm-print wallpaper that screams "I vacation in LinkedIn profile pictures" and rattan lights that probably came from Pinterest's "Tropical Chic" board. The bathroom even plays coquí frog sounds - because nothing says authentic like digital amphibians serenading you mid-tinkle. Our rebellious decision to skip the tasting menu clearly wounded our waiter's soul. You'd think we'd suggested putting ketchup on their masterfully prepared mofongo! But let me tell you, that mofongo... imagine if mashed potatoes went on vacation to Puerto Rico and came back wearing a Hawaiian shirt and swimming in shrimp broth. It's THAT good. The food is seriously no joke, even if our waiter's attitude was. Chef Reyes is doing this incredible Nuyorican thing where traditional meets trendy - think your abuela's recipes after they got a Masters in Fine Arts. The lechón (fancy pork belly) has skin so crispy it could double as a percussion instrument in a salsa band. Despite our waiter's permanent expression of "why are you like this?", the rest of the service was surprisingly amazing. They're basically cocktail sommeliers, offering sample sips like it's a wine tasting at Señor Frog's (but classy). Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I bring ten colleagues again? Maybe not unless I want to see another waiter's soul leave their body in real-time. But hey, at least the chairs are comfy enough to sit through the drama! Pro tip: Skip the tasting menu if you want to see a server's eyebrows achieve new heights of disapproval. The à la carte options are worth the shade. read more

After an early show at the Crocodile, we were about to pop over to a nearby bar, when I remembered that Lenox had (finally!!!) opened. When I passed by a day earlier (which happened to be their soft opening), there was a line out the door at 4:30 in the afternoon. An excellent sign. We were sold. Before we decided to sit, we asked at the front about vegetarian options. A quick peek at the menu assured us we should be fine, but the hostess said our server could confirm vegetarian options. First, drinks: friends got the 105th and Lex (a boozy but balanced bourbon rum mint drink) and the clarified pina colada (in a tall glass and also perfectly mixed) while I opted for an orange wine. Off to a stupendous start. Next, food: we got (I think?) all of the vegetarian options on the menu, and they did not disappoint. My personal fave was the maduros -- sweet "fried" plantains, which felt more baked but still perfect, with an umami of chimichurri. The dish is sweet, savory, and tangy all at once. The garlic rice and habichuelas (red beans) were another fave. We also shared the avocado pickled cherry tomato, a sleeper of a lovely dish, and the tres hermanas salad. I would recommend them all! Our total (with another plate and a beer) was about $140 without tip. Before leaving, we made sure they take reservations, because we KNOW it's going to be impossible to get back into this place! read more

Day 4 of their new location in Belltown after previously popping up (I suggested an update to the address to Yelp). It was FANTASTIC. One of those places where every piece of food on your plate was carefully balanced and exquisitely flavored. Drinks were innovative and beautifully presented. We started with the empanada which pulled off that amazing feat of tasting both rich and light at the same time. My son devoured it. Gem lettuces and Tres Hermanas salads had the kind of seasoning and balance that made me say "wow" after my first bite. We did Bistec and Pollos pinchos and that steak was absolute cooking perfection. Garlic rice, amazing beans - it was honestly all excellent. We saved room for three Tres Leches cake and it was the perfect end to a perfect meal. Side note, I asked for salt at one point (it was perfectly seasoned I just have a salty palate) and they brought me *flaky salt* (swoon!!!) Ambiance was warm, chic and still comfortable. I actually wanted to sit in those chairs, THANK YOU - how rare is that? Also, lots of service is friendly - but this service pulled off being friendly, amazingly efficient and most impressively: natural. This group of humans were working well as a team and it showed. We interacted with multiple staff and somehow they all knew what we were having, what we needed and what was next, all the while chatting to us like we are all old friends. Completely impressive. 100% a new favorite, can't wait to go back. read more

We came here for brunch. To our surprise the restaurant was almost empty when we arrived. The hours on the door suggest brunch is a new thing for Lenox so maybe they are still figuring out the kinks. Overall the place is cute with nice music. I was hopeful. We ordered the breakfast, pescado sandwich, bori-coise, and mofongo. All of the food was okay but nothing to rave about. If you've been to Bongos it's like a slightly dressed up version with less vibrant flavors. What rubbed me the wrong way saw the speed of service. It took them 10 minutes to bring us drip coffee. A good chunk of that time the coffee was just sitting on the bar waiting for our server who was busy on her phone. Then the dishes started arriving one by one over the course of 20 minutes. Some of our party was done eating by the time the last dish arrived. One of our side dishes was forgotten but by then I didn't care anymore. To add insult to injury there's an automatic 20% service change. Maybe that's why the staff doesn't feel the need to be timely. I would not visit again. read more

I've been wanting to go for a while now and finally made it. They are not open on Monday or Tuesday so keep that in mind. It's a really cute space with a bar & open dining room, cozy but with a modern & stylish vibe. Our server was very helpful with the menu, giving us some really good recommendations as well as a round of shots for the table...although no one in our party drinks! He took them back & sent out some non alcoholic shots of the Agua Fresca. The delicious Puerto Rican/ Afro Latin dishes are served family style, which I love, so you can try more than one thing. We had some really great shareable dishes and I think the portions were a great size. I would definitely come back and get the Tres Hermanos Salad, Lechon & mussels...but the menu rotated seasonally while leaving some of their most popular dishes on & only swapping out select dishes. I would highly recommend this for a night out with friends or family but just remember to make a reservation, at least a week or more in advance. I'm definitely going back! read more

Lenox knows its flavors! Came here for dinner on a Thursday at 8pm - good ambience and we closed them out. We ordered two cocktails l: - Clarified Pina Colada - if you're into pina colada flavored things, this is your drink. 3/5 - Edgar Martinez - an old fashioned with gin essentially. 5/5 Between 2 people, we split 2 apps and 1 entree. It was plenty for two. We ordered the - Empanada: great crispy exterior, chicken was shredded and decently cooked. Good flavor overall and a delicious and necessary sauce on the side. - Adobo Mussels: the mussels were in season and you could tell. The freshness of the seafood and the hearth of the gravy worked really well together. Coconut based curry pairs great with seafood and I enjoyed it with Lenox' Caribbean flavors. It came with well caramelized plantains and small confit marble potatoes. While the potatoes were well boiled, they didn't add to my experience. We ordered rice on the side to enjoy the curry. - Pollo al Carbon: I could've devoured this. Well marinated and crispy chicken. Succulent inside. Great flavor overall. I rarely like carrots but these were well caramelized and packed with flavor. Again, some confit marble potatoes that didn't enhance my experience much but this was my favorite dish of the night. Our service was excellent - quickly seated and good recommendations provided! read more

Lenox is a newish restaurant - at the time of this writing - in Belltown that specializes in New York Puerto Rican food. We had a reservation for five people made ahead of time and were promptly seated. With five people, we were recommended to order as family style (which I always do anyway without being told ). We decided to order the following: -Alcapurria -Mofongo -Tres Hermanas -Habichuelas -Lechon -Bistec Encebollado The appetizers (Alcapurria and Mofongo) were quite good. The Alpcapurria came as a large fritter stuffed with beef, plantain, and cassava. I can't say this was optimal for sharing, but we just needed to cut it into different pieces to share. The Mofongo had a lot of flavor, but the mashed plantain chicharron side it came with was probably the table's favorite part of this dish. Tres Hermanas is a salad with corn, squash, green beans, and a green gooddess dressing. It's good, but I think the table desired more of it in terms of portion (among five people, you could only get a small spoonful for yourself). The side beans (Habichuelas) were... fine. I think we expected more from it. I can't speak for all of the entrees, but the Lechon and Bistec Encebollado were quite tasty! Both plates had a lot of elements going on, so I personally enjoyed mixing all that up We ended the meal with a passionfruit tres leches which was pleasantly light and a good way to wrap things up. Overall, it's a nice vibey place but somewhat pricey (as are many things in Seattle, of course). Doable for five people but you might be better off going as a group of 2 or, at most, 4 people. read more

The menu looked so tempting... and lived up to the promise and then some. To begin with everything is so well seasoned. The savoriness of every bite was exceptional. And the cocktails are great compliments to the food. (We were there kinda early on a Thursday - the prep the bartender was doing showed serious game) Go with friends - the portions... even of the appetizers are GENEROUS. The food overall - you can see it's roots in Puerto Rican comidas - but is so much more. It's a place where even the beans and rice are worth noting. Delicious in their own right... but perfect team players with the rest of the food. It's everything I wanted, but even more flavorful. When I go back - I'll try to go with a group of 4 - so we can try more things. And they absolutely have mastered plantain cookery. And I would buy the kitchen seasoning just to put on my eggs, or greens, or beans... read more

I saw Lenox's IG page end of June and it piqued my interest to see their rendition of a cubano sandwich and hush puppies. I managed to convince The Homie to accompany me and we showed up 35 minutes early at their pop up hosted at Saint Bread (7/2/23). It was a hot Sunday late afternoon with crowds seeking relief at nearby Fritz Hedges Waterway Park and another popular Portage Bay restaurant, bar, and kayak spot. No signage to direct us where exactly Lenox would be setting up at Saint Bread. The Homie and I decided to just sit it out. I ended up joining another couple seated on the east side of the building. This was fortuitous to meet another pair of like minded diners who made the trek from their downtown Seattle home, originally from New York and Tampa. Great conversation, but unbeknownst to us, another crowd had gathered on the west side of the building. Thankful that a Saint Bread team member recognized me and said that we'd be taken care of. Whew! It would be a bummer to have been there all that time and not get the opportunity to try Lenox's menu. And yes, there was quite the line and they were sold out shortly thereafter. I ordered a pair of Cubanos and hush puppies. The Lenox and Saint Bread teams working in tandem made the whole process seamless. The Cubanos were spot on. The bread was from Q Bakery in South Seattle - which I've personally seen throngs show up when fresh bread is placed in the wire baskets and pounced on. Nice balance with the ham, cheese, pickles, and mustard....but the standout was the roasted pork! I was done in after half a sandwich, but The Homie devoured his pronto. The hush puppies also disappeared. Loved the heat from the dipping sauce, but a nice touch was the cojita cheese atop these savory bites. Great location (thanks Saint Bread), great food (thanks Lenox), great conversation (thanks Kristin and Ed), outstanding Sunday sunny weather (thanks Mother Nature)! I was late to the culinary party - I see IG posts since 2019 coupled with over 15 years of professional experience. Chef Jhonny Reyes has creative takes celebrating his Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Jamaican heritage. I definitely look forward to trying his other menu items. He has events all over Seattle, hopefully he will also have his own brick and mortar. So don't sleep on an opportunity to experience delicious Afro-Latin Soul Food from Lenox! read more

We were lucky to be able to host our company holiday party at Lenox. The food was incredibly delicious. Flavors were unique and wonderful and the quality of the ingredients was top-notch. I will 100% be going back for dinner. Really strong cocktail list too. I didn't know we were missing this!!! This is EXACTLY what Seattle needed. I could have eaten 10 of the pastelillos (little hand pie / empanada thing). I think this will be recognized as one of the best restaurants in Seattle in 2026. The challenge will be to keep the menu fresh while retaining the right list of old favorites. read more

Lenox is a refreshing, delightful, and unique addition to the Seattle restaurant scene. The space is light and beautiful and comfortable. The menu is full of classic Puerto Rican food with fun twists. It's all plated beautifully and truly everything we ordered was done perfectly. I particularly enjoyed the bistec encebollado dish, but you can't go wrong with any of the options. They had fun natural wines on the menu too -- we went with a Sicilian Pet Nat that paired nicely with the tomato and peach salad and the rockfish crudo dish. Everyone here was kind and attentive. The chef has a really neat story about bringing his family's "Nuyorican" recipes to life -- ask him about it if you get the chance! read more

It's so nice having different cuisine options in this area and so happy that Lenox did not disappoint. Husband and I have been meaning to visit since they opened and realized it would be a perfect stop before seeing a show at The Crocodile on a Sunday evening. We had a reservation but when we arrived around 6pm, the restaurant was about 50% empty so we had our pick of seating. I will note, by the time we left (around 7:30), all tables were full so come early or definitely make a reservation. The restaurant has an air of coolness and references Harlem, NYC which we loved, after living there for many years. They had a nice cocktail selection (including zero-proof options) but we both ordered the Mint Limeade which tasted fresh and deliciously lime-forward. Throughout the meal, service was friendly and attentive but not over the top. For food, you're encouraged to order family style and they'll course it out for you. We ordered hushpuppies, ropa vieja, habichuelas, and maduros and we loved everything. This was enough food for two because we wanted to ensure we didn't have leftovers but we probably would've ordered one more dish to taste if we weren't going to a show afterwards. Their house hot sauce, Pique, was easily the star of the show-- I drizzled it on everything. We've got plans to return to buy a bottle for the home. Overall, this was a great date night spot but I could also see it being fun with friends. I can't wait to return! read more

Holy cow, one of the best dinners I've had in Seattle for a long time! We made reservations which I highly recommend for groups larger than 2, the place filled up fast after 6pm. There is room for single diners at the bar. The service was spectacular, everyone was so kind and attentive - changed out our plates after appetizers and then wiped down the table. Each dish had such vibrant and powerful flavors. We ordered the: empanada, green goddess salad, mufongo, adobo clams, steak, tostones, lechon, red beans, and garlic rice. This was the perfect amount for 6 people as we were full and satisfied, but not uncomfortable. We all agreed that the dish of the night was the lechon! We did order the dessert and got lucky - they had made a chocolate version of the tres leches cake, which we ordered and also got the flan de queso as well. I fell in love with the flan de queso - it's the best of both worlds and is basically flan cheesecake. Highly recommend! I will definitely be coming back here. Thank you to Lenox for amazing food and an amazing experience! read more

Excellent! Everything we tried had great flavors. We went in a little apprehensive after reading some of the reviews. We decided to order family style so we could try a bunch of things: 1 Hush puppies- slightly sweet & flavorful, good texture, not too oily. 2 Pastellillos:(empanada) chicken cheese filled dough, very creamy cheesy smooth filling. 3 Alcapurria: one of my favorites of the evening. Crisp plantain shell encasing tasty picadillo. 4 Tres Hermanas:fresh, bright & crispy veggies, toasted corn was sweet and warm. 5 coco greens: greens were in a coconut cumin broth. Slightly sweet and complemented the green well. 6 churresco: steak was perfectly seasoned- salty- topped with a fresh chimichurri. Adding more flavor and tang! Top dish of the night. The tostones were nicely fried & yummy too Service was also great. Our server, Markkus was friendly, courteous and kept my water glass topped off. Casual, clean, modern eatery. Will come again when I'm visiting Seattle next time. read more

We came here for a drink and dinner before a show at the Crocodile. The vibe and decor of the restaurant is really cool but the staff (bartender in particular) were super unfriendly and we almost felt unwelcome.

Came here the other day due to a friend's recommendation and I was really impressed by their commitment to good service, their beautiful culturally-inspired decor, and the flavors represented in their food. We ordered the empanada, mofongo, and adobo clams. Although the empanada was dry (primarily due to ours being mostly crust and not having as much filling) it was savory and paired well with the sauces served along with it. The mofongo was my favorite! It was served with prawns and a flavorful tomato sauce that I ate with every other dish including the garlic rice! Although the adobo clams were unique, they were a little too sweet and tasted too much of coconut for my taste. The staff was very accommodating and I definitely want to come back here to try their Lechon! read more

The good: the food was absolutely amazing. We had the pork belly and shared a salad. The food tasted like a warm hug. The drinks were also great, I had their version of a Bloody Mary, and the spice level was perfect. The not so great: the non refundable $30 reservation fee. The $10 parking to use the small lot outside. I'm already $40 in the hole and I haven't even eaten yet. The staff was mostly cold, the ambience felt very instagramish and we felt like we didn't belong there. We almost left before getting to sample the great food simply because my partner and I were so irritated with each other for him wanting to go there. read more

We were served by Sean, who was amazing at recommending wine and food. We ordered the Alcapurria (after Sean's rec), Lechon, and Gem Lettuces and 5/5 on all three. Each had complex flavors and textures that meshed together so well. Wine was fantastic. For three plates, two cocktails, and three glasses of wine, the total came out to ~$200. Saw a show at the Crocodile after which is conveniently across the street. Absolutely worth it and WILL BE BACK! read more

Lenox - Lechon - Latin American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Culinary Brilliance Meets Performance Art; Jhonny Reyes' smoked brisket ropa vieja is a revelation--tender, smoky, and layered with Afro-Latin flavors that justify his Chopped champion status. The Cuban sandwich achieves sandwich transcendence with its airy Q Bakery bread and Caribbean-spiced chicken. Alas, the experience veers into avant-garde theater. Servers perform Ignorance With Threats (parking QR codes? "I know nothing... but you'll be fined!") and Full-Body Collision: The Musical in aisles narrower than a subway turnstile. While Reyes dreams of a "cool, fun environment," our bartender's Oscar-worthy portrayal of the "Hostile Waiter" or "Seething Bartender" suggests method acting gone rogue. Order takeout. Savor the genius of Reyes's kitchen without the immersive--and unwelcome--dining "experiments." Should management align service with culinary vision, Lenox could rival Seattle's best. Until then, it's a masterclass in cognitive dissonance: food that soars, service that implodes. read more

I absolutely enjoyed this very new fusion that packed so much flavor . WI haven't felt such coziness like this sinceI was in New York a year ago . The spot is stunning and contemporary . Very chic and posh . Very spacious and well lit . I obviously had a bunch of options but I had so much fun here . The waitress and service was personable and efficient . I got ask so many questions about the food and try something new. I truly did miss Puerto Rican flavors in Seattle . All the spots closed during the pandemic . I saw this on tik tok and had to try it out . It absolutely was divinnneeeee . It's not overly expensive either ! The clams were very fresh and had a thin sauce underneath. The steak was pre cut with chimichurri and the chicken wings had a perfect texture to sauce ration as well . I give it all 9/10 . Not pictured is the pina coloda non alcoholic that was INSANE . Like these people enjoy the art that is food creation . Until next bite read more
