    London Lennies has come back from the dead. We were there a few weeks ago - after being away for over a year. The food was good and service was great. Our server was so friendly and hospitable - especially when we had 3 additional guests join our table.

    Nothing like the bar at LL. The freshest and best quality seafood in NY. Wish more people did those King Crab bits. The perfect way to serve them..and who has a better selection of oysters? In 30 years...I've never had a less than perfect meal at Lennie's.

    My first time dining at London Lennies. Wonderful food and even better waitstaff! I was pleased to have had Amanda serve our table. What an effervescent personality she had....She helped me decide upon the choice of seafood and boy was she right! My dinner was delicious and just as good as she said it would be. Looking forward to returning there again real soon!

    I took my cousin here for her 70th birthday. We had the chopped salad and the wild lemon fish, both very flavorful and delicious. Particularly good key lime pie for my cousin, made even better by the candle and singing that went with it. A very happy experience-thank you!

    As always, creative seafood, service and ambiance are first rate. The always superb shrimp and crab dumplings seemed different on Sat. night, though still very good. Perhaps there are new additions to the kitchen staff. My only concern is the frequent sticker shock of increases in the cost of menu items. London Lennie's is, however, a star in the Queens restaurant scene.

    We were the victims of a ketchup bottle prank. Looks like someone who sat in out table before us put a carbonated liquid in the ketchup bottle, so when we went to use it it exploded all over the place. Not good. Not the Restaurants fault. We were comped 1 drink and desserts....

    Upon arrival we were shown to a booth in the main dining room. My seat had several tears in it with the stuffing showing. When the server came over, we asked about the Monday Mussel special. We were then directed to a table in the bar area, as this special is only available there, she told us. The seat at this second table was also torn. I chose the mussels in a sherry broth. When the dish arrived, it looked like the broth was previously prepared and a bunch of steamed mussels thrown on top. The dish was tasteless after I tasted it. My husband ordered the Dutch Style preparation, with andouille sausage. He ate his but also noticed that the mussels were not cooked in the broth. The server never came back to ask if everything was OK. By the time she did return, the busboy had already had our table cleared. When the server did come over, I told her my meal was awful and that I didn’t eat most of it. She had the manager take my meal off the bill. We appreciated that but after this experience we will never go back to London Lenny’s again. There are far better seafood restaurants.

    The food was great. The service was direct with no b/s. We waited a bit to be sat even with a reservation, but it wasn’t terrible- 20m. The busser was a little off his game, but oh well. The atmosphere was nice and it seems like a great local spot in the neighborhood. I know it’s been around awhile, but this was our first time and we will be back.

    They were fantastic! We wanted a fancy date night, but are from out of town, I called and they reassured me that a nice dress and heels was perfectly acceptable. The hostess, waitress and other staff were extremely friendly and professional. The food was phenomenal! I thought the prices were perfectly reasonable for what we received.

    We had a reservation for 3 at 8 pm. Arrived on time. Plenty of open tables. We got a round booth by the bathroom. We were Roodly denied. Martini was served in a wine glass . Rib eye steak was rear and meat was tough. We ordered medium well done. The Pinoli crusted red snapper Was barely warm/cold and no crust . The salad was ordered with no dressing Was served with extra dressing mixed in. Desert was not fresh . Terrible experience and food is not made to order.
