Another great evening at Lenny's As "regulars" we are entitled to our preference of tables. We sat near the bar at a table of 6 with friends this time. the swordfish was carefully cooked. i opted not to do fra diavolo but a garlic flavoring with bruschetta. Excellent. Others had the prime petite filet mignon. Lots of flavors with sides of steamed spinach and baked potato A highlight was the parmesan-crusted halibut with their homemade marinara sauce. The service was spot-on and overseen by Shawn. Another great Monday evening at Lennys Do I ever have negative comments? very rarely and the staff knows this, so they strive to do well!

Superb food! especially the bone in ribeye steak and the branzino. We also had the special of the day, parpadel pasta. For the app and the side dishes, we had lobster mac, meatballs, and escargot. Waiters were on point. Did not have to wait long and service with a smile! I love the ambiance. It's cozy, music was not too loud were you can't hear each other. Definitely 5 stars across the boards! We will come back!

We were seated immediately and our service was quick, attentive and courteous. The food was amazing! It didn’t break the bank, either, despite the fact that the food was amazing! The wine list was adequate. There was even parking available. All in all, an excellent experience, we’ll definitely go back.

The staff was so attentive and quick with services everything was served hot and the ingredients were so fresh, many compliments to the kitchen staff. One of the few Italian spots we will be going back to, and next time bringing our family and friends. The occasion was a birthday, and they had remembered I made note of that in my initial reservation, it was such a sweet surprise at the end of the meal to see them bring out a slice of tiramisu cake for my partner! You guys are so great thank you so much!
