    Perfect chicken, delicious sides, drinks were fabulous, and we enjoyed the music on Friday night which set a lively mood but we could still hear each other talk. Our server was so pleasant too. Definitely recommend to anyone, wish we could visit more frequently!

    What an amazing experience at Lefkes, celebrating Christmas Day with my daughter she ordered the Ribeye Steak with the Truffle Shallot Butter cooked to perfection and the taste was amazing, my daughter couldn’t wait to cut into the steak. Lefteris was so attentive to the customers and made sure everything was perfect. Mauricio made sure the service was amazing. . For sure will go back thank you Lefkes for a beautiful night.

    WHat a great additional to the Upper West Side, which used to be a place of good but ordinary food of many often ethnic types. Elea is a game changer. I ate there several times outside during COVID and had no idea the inside is so elegant and un-Upper West Side (if you've lived here for a long time you know what I mean--before the bazillionaires moved in). Anyway, a first-rate restaurant in every way, and the noise level is bearable, as opposed to unbearable, as it is in so many nice restaurants. Thanks.
