★★★★★ 5.0 Sheila Gross · Dec 2025

Great atmosphere, very professional and agreeably attentive waitstaff. The manager stopped by to check on our table. The house made lemoncello is fantastic. Dress up for this fabulous dinner. Gluten free options are available and easily explained. Do NOT miss out on the beef tips on the appetizer menu! One of the very best items on the menu! Don't miss out of a truly phenomenal dinner.

Elegant Dining with a Minor Setback. I recently visited this beautifully appointed restaurant and overall had a good experience. The dining room was tastefully arranged with crisp white tablecloths, dim lighting, and a warm, inviting ambiance. The chandeliers and classic decor added a touch of sophistication that made the evening feel special. I ordered the salmon, which came with carrots, creamed spinach, and green beans—all cooked to perfection. The flavors were well-balanced, and the presentation matched the upscale setting. However, upon arrival, I stopped by the restroom and noticed one of the urinals was out of service and bagged. A temporary container had been placed to catch dripping water, but unfortunately, water had pooled across the floor, suggesting the issue had been ongoin

I have been coming here for 30 years. I knew the original owner Mike before he passed. Now the daughter and family runs it. I have tried most things on menu at least once. However, the very best thing to get is table side Chateaubriand for two. OMG this is AMAZING! It’s not cheap but worth it. 7 course meal and you’ll feel full for days. Biggest recommendation is make a reservation. Without one good luck! On extremely busy holiday nights probably not the best. Too many people to experience high quality dining when there is a line out the door. Any other regular days you’ll love it. Business casual dining. Black tie servers, white table clothes. Easy 50-100 per. For the Chateaubriand for two several hundred. Drinks are great. Service is excellent. One of my all time favorite places to

★★★★☆ 4.0 Richard Siyufy · Mar 2026

The filet mignon was fantastic, as always. The service, which is normally excellent, was subpa to say the least. Our waitress went long stretches of time ignoring us. Then when she built are chateaubriand table side, she slapped it together like we were at a barbecue. She even dropped a piece of meat and it rolled off the plate onto the table. To top it off, the assistant waiter kid threw our doggy bag away. So for $150 it was a major letdown, especially since I bragged so much about the place. Our waitress did apologize and said that they were under staffed for dinner. Blame this one I guess on the general manager.

Went to Lellis for the first time Saturday and it was a pleasant surprise. We had the table side ceaser to start and I had the Chateaubriand while my partner had chicken cordon bleu. The tenderloin was very good. Maybe not $68 good, but still very good. The chicken was average at best. Atmosphere was very nice. Old world upscale look to it and the table side service carts were a blast of nostalgia from the 90’s. The service was very good. Our waiter was attentive but not overly hovering. The drinks were good and reasonable for the place. Overall I think it was nice, but just a bit overpriced for the quality of food. Will we come back? Probably, but next time stick to the steak as it’s what they do best.
