Our bartender/server was Lashone and she was funny, fast and friendly! She was pouring drinks for the ENTIRE restaurant and didn't miss a beat!! The breakfast menu is small but everything sounded fantastic. I chose the Steak Tacos; my husband chose the brie and bacon frittata (added by the chef since the quiche was sold out. Steak tacos were delicious (see pic). Menu said they had steak, cheesy scrambled eggs, tomato salsa, breakfast potatoes and cilantro. I didn't see or taste any potatoes, but the tacos were still delicious! I'd only recommend draining the salsa through a sieve because of the excess juice affecting the integrity of the tortilla. My husband's frittata was awful. The eggs were dry; he compared them to "eggs at the bottom of the warming tray at a cheap breakfast buffet." The chef also served a side salad alongside. My husband asked about subbing potatoes and Ms. Lashone made it happen. She was the star of our brunch: drinks were delicious, the conversational quips were quick and funny. She was attentive without being intrusive and made sure we felt welcomed and taken care of. 5 stars for her and my food; 1 for the frittata. I don't want to average it and tank the rating. We'll be back soon to see Lashone!

I wished the potatoes were a little crispier and better seasoned. Bacon was good. I'd absolutely return for breakfast, though I'm also looking forward to trying other menu items.

Visitors can enjoy the beaches, explore the town's shops and eateries, or take a golf cart cruise to discover the area's charm. Plus we enjoyed delicious brunch at Lenny's Restaurant. Under new ownership as of 2016 Lennys Restaurant is currently run by Shirley Griffiths. For 30 years it was owned and operated by Leonard S. Skeens, who passed away in 2007. Lenny's is a small family style restaurant serving breakfast and lunch. I had their delicious ham steak breakfast and Carol had their Turkey and Swiss sandwich. All in all, it was a good breakfast experience and a chance to spend quality time with some good friends. I'd like to return one day for lunch as the burgers and fries looked pretty darn good.

I visited on Sunday, March 22 during a soccer tournament with my son and his friend for a quick bite. Before ordering, I specifically asked our server, Antonio, how long the food would take. He told us 5-10 minutes. We waited patiently for about 20 minutes before I went to check on our order, only to be told that the kitchen hadn't even started it. He said we will refund tomorrow, and that he didn't have the authority and that it would be processed "tomorrow." He didn't take my name, number, or any information so it was unclear how that would even happen. On top of that, his attitude was dismissive and unprofessional, making it feel like I was inconveniencing him just for asking about an order and how will he keep track on who he's refunding while we had already been waiting! This experience was extremely frustrating and disappointing especially with kids waiting. Lack of communication, poor service, and no follow-up make this feel like a complete rip-off.
