    We chose Lelli’s for a birthday dinner and we were not disappointed. We were taken care of by a fantastic group of staff. Our server, Tori, could not have been more professional or attentive during our entire visit. She was on the ball all evening whether it was refilling our drinks our accommodating our requests. Her assistant George was also a pleasure to interact with. He was quick with keeping our water glasses topped off and keeping the table cleared. Overall we could not have asked for a better experience. We are looking forward to our next visit and hope that Tori and George will be available for another fantastic experience.

    This was honestly the worst experience I could have imagined. Our service was good but the food was not at all. My son’s lamb was basically raw, and they did take it off the bill so he got a lobster tail. It took 30 minutes when they said 12 and it was wayyyy over cooked and was like rubber. My husband’s steak was cooked wrong and my fish was almost raw. I was very disappointed as this was not an inexpensive meal by any means. It came out to $530 with the tip. Even the drinks were terrible. It wasn’t very busy so I’m not sure that I would go back.

    This was our fist time and we will definitely be back. Our server,Latasha, made suggestions that were spot on. The beef wellington was on point. This was a great fine dining experience.

    Our service was not good. Actually it started out good and got continuously worse. We waited 30 minutes for our check. Two of the dishes came out lukewarm. The minestrone soup was barely warm. Not what we expect of Lelli’s
