    Was really looking forward to having dinner here with two other girlfriends. We actually enjoyed our meal, and our server was beyond outstanding. He even made sure to bring me another drink when I was not pleased with the first one they made me about 40 minutes into our service. It started playing. We were aware that there is a time limit especially on a Saturday night however, as first time patrons, the server told us since we were in a corner that they would let it sit there we were right next to the DJ booth, after we continuously order drinks nonstop and shots, even desserts security guard came to say we needed to get out in order for the owner and his crew to be seated at our table.  it actually seem to be an occurrence which they kept asking other people to leave because the owner now wanted to be seated, completely unprofessional and rude, especially because around the bar area was so packed. You cannot move at all and where do they expect clients to go completely unprofessional, especially after paying over 500 bucks for three people. Customer should always come first though what happened to making sure the client is happy so they can return. The food was actually very good, but the hype of this place it’s just way too much. I think there are better places in New Jersey that actually care about the client.

    One of my favorite spots to take family friends when they’re in town. Lefkes never disappoints from their delicious food to attentive and friendly service. I can’t recommend their sushi enough either, it’s a great addition here!

    Tried Lefkes for the first time and I can’t believe I was missing out on this place all this time. Was not expecting a Greek spot to have sushi but it was some of the best I’ve ever had in addition to spot on lamb chops. Service was very attentive even with how busy they were. Will definitely be back soon!

    Went for the “Porterhouse Party” $175 per person. Two average sized, room temp steaks to be divided by six guys. Oh yeah, there were carrots and a few measly potatoes. Our table was a square and a round put together and completely jammed in between two others. I never complain about quantity or price but this was a joke. Only good thing here is Scarlet the bartender.

    Lefkes must decide if they want to be a fine dining restaurant or an obnoxious disco. My wife and I had to change tables because of the NOISE. Sitting inches apart we still could not hear each other. Even after moving upstairs where it was minimally quieter, conversation was difficult. Apparently even the waiter staff, terribly understaffed and with poor English, couldn't understand our orders and the Porterhouse had to be sent back--grossly overdone. Service was abysmally slow. The food itself was ok but not special. The wine offered on the Porterhouse Steak Evening was a mediocre Syrah. We will not return until next Spring or Summer when one can sit outside and avoid the OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD HOUSE MUSIC.

    Absolute embarrassing establishment. Waited 45 minutes just to get seated for a “reservation”. This place is a cash cow that just prides itself on bottle service and tips to get a table. Do not go here. They are god awful.

    As soon as we were seated we were told we had the table for only 2 hours. Meal was rushed. They were cleaning the plates from our appetizers before we were finished. Would not recommend if you want a quiet meal and be able to talk with friends over dinner. Extremely loud music and poor acoustics. Was extremely unhappy and would not return.

    Loved the restaurant, the outdoor ambiance, the food, was amazing and definitely has me and my family interested in coming back to experience dinner. We were a bit disappointed with our request to set a candle in whatever desert we requested for our mother’s birthday. We wrote it in our notes to the restaurant the reason why we were visiting this restaurant for brunch. My fiancé also told the staff member and emphasized twice to please put a candle in the dessert we ordered for the birthday and they did not honor our request. What made me feel worse, 10 minutes after they brought our dessert out with no candle, the neighboring table was presented in their dessert with a candle which kind of felt like a slap in my face. Besides that the restaurant was nice .
