    Our first time here. I had the sea bass that they are famous for and it was excellent. My wife had the scallops and they were delicious. This was a Saturday night so they were very busy. Recommend reservations.

    After doing some research of the top seafood places in the area, we chose this restaurant. I took a friend there for her fiftieth birthday.And neither one of us were just overly impressed with the food. I had my eyes set on the occasion.Seasoned trout, but ended up going with the stuffed chicken breast. It was very bland. My friend order the stuffed lobster and she didn't care for the ritz stuffing and it too was bland. The staff were very kind and attentive. It was pretty dark in there with red lighting. Noise level was pretty high, since it's a small restaurant. We possibly just both ordered the wrong thing and obviously, as full as it was, a lot of people like it. But if I'm leaving an honest review, it just wasn't what we hoped for.

    We eat at Lefty's about every 2 weeks. It is our favorite place in the Addison/Carrollton area. The food is consistent (that would be awesome). The wait staff is fantastic. The staff all have a long tenure with the place and it shows. We LOVE this place, you will to!!!

    Amazing seafood. The service was spot on. The deserts are made in house and are worthy. Will be back again soon.
