Mykonos in jersey. Great authentic Greek food. Party inside weekends at night. Garden outside for quiet dinner. They have a tent for events. Well managed and great food. Highly recommend. read more

Horrendous and way overpriced. Greek Easter Sunday 4PM reservations. The music was louder than a 1980's dance club. Think of The Palladium or Adam's Apple or The Limelight in their heyday noise level.....but with bad food. It took forever to actually have a valet give us a ticket for our vehicle. Yes valet is mandatory. Greek salad too limited with Feta, too overwrought with tasteless tomatoes. Branzino filet had a few bones. The lemon potatoes were lumpy and lukewarm. And they ran out of bread for our table.....at 5:30PM on a holiday? Don't go here, many better and quieter and more reasonable options! read more

Their garden/atmosphere is very nice, staff is nice too but the food is definitely average or a bit below and overpriced. I'm happy we went and tried it out but I'm not planning to go back. read more

Food is bad and overpriced, way overpriced. My husband and I spent $200. We will not be going back

So this is Not my first time with the Exact same situation but I decided to give it another try before writing a review. I'm not exactly sure why this man still works there, I understand they're Very under staffed (and it shoes in service) but this waiter is a Women Hating trash bag, last time he ignored us the entire night then finally decided to take our drink order Refusing to come to us so we don't have to scream across the super loud room, he stood by the bar making us rip our throats screaming said I'm Not coming to You!!! Last night Same POS stood next to our table of girls (not even being our waited this time) watching us, someone threw a chair at me so I took the chair and shoved it away from us where he came up to Yell at me like I was 5 (I'm 40) I told him to please go talk to those guys who Don't Even actually have the super expensive table we had to pay for to even be there, he kept repeating the same thing and yelling at me. I found the manager who calmed me down (super nice guy) but my night was already ruined by again the Same Man as last time!!! Maybe they're not used to a group of WOMEN paying more for tables then MEN but each time I'm there I get verbally attacked by the same damn waiter !!! WHY IS HE STILL THERE!!!!! The place is Fun, music is Amazingggg (Only reason we traveled almost 2 hours to this place Again) Food is AWFUL and has Absolutely zero flavor.. If you have somewhere else to go , Go !!! This place should be your last resort, oh and Eat at home read more

I really enjoy the outdoor environment there. The portion of the food is big, I went there with my mom for the first time, and we ordered two appetizers and one main course to share, and we couldn't finish the whole thing. I like their appetizers but the main course ---- a fish is not as good as what I expect. read more

My husband threw me a surprise birthday dinner here and I can't say enough amazing things about the entire night. The food, the drinks, the service, the music, the energy -- everything was OUTSTANDING! It was the most fun I have had anywhere in a really long time. And with delicious food and drinks you can't go wrong!!! Only disclaimer is to be careful if you go with someone who doesn't like loud music or will make a face if a napkin hits their dish ;) I personally thought the throwing of the napkins was totally epic and super fun, but I was told that some others felt differently while they were eating lol. Nonetheless, 10/10 in my book!! Thanks Lefke's!! read more

When booking make sure that they will seat you inside not outside in the ugly tent covered in old plastic flowers because if it's going to rain you're food will be soggy because they care food from a different billing. read more

Food was amazing however I think covid practices weren't completely taken seriously there. Mask was not covering the nose on most of not even wearing it. Food is always good here being I've visited three times now. Spanakopita, risottos brunch options are amazing. Highly recommend for the food Note. Make sure their following all covid protocol to make inside and outside more safe. read more

Joined 4 other colleagues for dinner this week. The hostess brought us to a beautiful outside table but later we were fishing out small flying bugs from our drinks probably because we were seated by the bench attached to greenery. I would say the food was good and only complaint was the server added extra drinks to our bill but thankfully I am always diligent about reading the bill. It was resolved quickly. The negative is the bathroom was filthy and it was only 6 pm in the evening. read more

This fancy Greek restaurant did not live up to my expectations mainly because of the chicken gyro was not an authentic gyro, but more of a chicken wrap and the menu options from Greek cuisine were limited than I thought. Maybe because it was still brunch hours...My husband loved the salmon which was cooked perfectly, but I can't imagine a Greek place without any regular gyro in the first place. The ambiance however is great, especially if you can enjoy the outdoors... read more

I am a customer at Lefkes, but I have noticed that the quality of the food had changed. We visited last weekend and I consider that was just OK. The main entrees were ok, not as good as they used to be. It seems that the chef changes all the time. The spanakopita was tasteless and the portokalopita tasted like sugar, did not have the nice orange taste that I love. Neither the chocolate mouse was the same. Hopefully next time i have a better experience . read more

We had our wedding at Lefkes. Wow, what an incredible time. Nicholas, the manager, helped to make this a memorable occasion for my wife and me. We had an intimate wedding of about 100 plus guests and everyone had a great time. The seafood bar was constantly restocked all evening and our family and friends raved about the food and service. But that's not all. There is a dance floor that accommodated our dancing all night. Just to prove it, I am posting this photo of our first dance following the ceremony. That's right. We also had our wedding ceremony right on the dance floor followed by out first dance. Lefkes has got to be the best kept secret in Northern New Jersey as an intimate wedding venue. We used their florist recommendation who did a great job. The ambiance was soft and decorated with flowers. Everything was great, the food, drinks and service. I give Lefkes five - plus stars. If you are considering an intimate wedding of approximately 100 plus guest, then you should check them out. George & MaryJane read more

Lefkes - Wedding Dance at Lefkes - Mediterranean Near Me - Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey

My husband and I went here last weekend with another couple. We had 8:15 p.m. reservations. We arrived at 8:10. We were told our table would be ready in a few minutes and we went to the bar and ordered a drink. Between 8: 20 and 9:00 p.m., I went back to the front desk three times asking when we would be sat. Mind you, there were at least 12 tables open on the first level. Nobody seemed to be in any rush to seat us. When they were finally ready to give us our table at 9:00 p.m., they brought us upstairs to another dining room. The dining room was packed with tables. There was very little room to even walk in between the tables. They tried seating us at a tiny table in the middle of the room. You would barely have room to move your chair out to seat yourself. I made a big enough stink that they put us in a booth instead. The food was good. (Varka is way better). When we left, we drove all the way home which was New York, only to learn that the valet did not leave my keys in my car. We had to turn around and go all the way back to obtain my car keys. The crowd was also very interesting. Lots of middle-aged women, dressed like they were 22, looking desperately for a man. Overall not a great experience. They're trying way too hard to be high-end and I don't think they're succeeding. I will not be back nor will I refer anybody to this restaurant. read more

Horrendous. 2 hr wait for table, such a scene, incompetent staff, more interested in pleasing friends than customers. Really poor introduction to this restaurant . read more

Worst experience ever...overly crowded to the point that it was a definite fire hazard...a bunch of wannabe insta fake euro trash...service was horrific if you can call not actually seeing a service person do anything but Jam more people into an already overly crowded space...a completely disgusting display of what is wrong with the world wrapped into mediocre food and garbage atmosphere! read more

Terrible service. Waiter was so rude. It took one of our guests in our party an hour to get a drink. Half our food never arrived: The bathroom upstairs was disgusting. Such a shame because it ruined what could have been a fun night. read more

This restaurant is amazing!! I had to plan a friend's birthday and I had chosen this place because I had came before, and knew it was really nice, loved the ambiance, the setting, food and the service... so I knew my friends would love it too. And they did! we had the most amazing time EVER. The service was impecable. Dinner, appetizers and drinks were perfection. We loved the seafood platter.. so fresh! And we got to hand pick it ourselves from the seafood bar. The lobster with the black pasta, and just about everything we ordered was delicious too. The staff was really friendly and professional. We loved CHRIS as our waiter! He was so accommodating to our needs, and even took photos/videos of us. He made sure we had a fun and pleasant time, and that the birthday girl really enjoyed herself. We brought our own birthday cake and were able to enjoy it for dessert after the dinner. We stayed afterwards for the DJ portion and danced the rest of the night. Beautiful crowd and vibes. I cant wait to come back! I HIGHLY recommend! It doesn't ever disappoint. read more

Horrible service !! My salad Chicken was raw they gave me the wrong drink and it was impossible to get a hold of the waiter I had to go myself to the bar to get the right drink they also missed a few appetizers. I won't be going back only thing was good was the DJ ! Not what I expected read more

I honestly could not be happier with my meal this evening. They say you get what you pay for and this holds tru here. The GIANT Spanish shrimp were enormous and dressed in a simply oil/lemon finish. Son and mother in law could not finish all the lamb chops on their plate. My vegetarian daughter love the eggplant. We could not decide if the beet or chopped salad was better. Bennet on of the owners came to our table. The old city resident bringing the best Mediterranean outside of Astoria. He made a special chocolate martini for my wife and mother in law. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone. I will go out of my way to return. Thanks for making a relaxing enjoyable meal happen. read more

Unfortunately one of my favorite places has now become a wash. I used to love going to their bar on a Saturday night, but it seems as if with the change of bartenders the upscale crowd has moved elsewhere. Just a few months ago the crowd was grown and sexy and now even the music the dj plays is much different. Seems as if all the teeny boppers from Ventanas have now relocated to Lefkes smh. read more

Wish i could give -5 stars. Made a reservation for 26 people a month early for my birthday. Picked out menu and signed a contract. We were told to arrive early as we wouldn't be seated until everyone in the party was there. Waited an hour for our table and it still wasn't ready. Hostess said our table would be ready shortly (the 10th time we heard that) I went over to see where they were going to seat us. There was NO WAY 26 people were going to fit where we were supposedly going to be seated. We ended up leaving which I'm sure they didn't care about since there were about 5 other big parties that still weren't seated for their 9pm reservations. A disgrace and a sorry excuse for restaurant management. Save your stress and go somewhere else read more

If your looking for delicious food with a great menu, music, great ambiance for a dinner date or even just a night out with friends and family this is a great choice! Super chic and classy but also food for regular evening or even a celebration. Very versatile menu, no one should have trouble ordering something they want to eat. I has the salmon dish and it was fantastic. Well cooked, and the sides were so tasty. Service is great and the cocktail menu is good too! They also have valet. From the moment you hand your keys to walking back out you experience a very smooth and enjoyable evening. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

The absolute worst management, I had a 9:00pm reservation for 10 which I made 2 weeks in advance. They called and confirmed 4 time prior. We all showed up at 8:50 we left the restaurant at 10:00pm because our table was not available. The management socks, he can not management a 2 way street. They over book, even with a Covid situation people are on top of each other. So many reservation were bumped people where so upset and frustrated. Take your money elsewhere this place is just a good image on IG and social media. read more

Fresh fresh fresh like if you order the lobster roll there's a "popup" fresh fish market where they grab the fresh lobster and take it in back and make the roll. Fresh fresh fresh I had the 50/50 Kale Ceasar salad with Salmon and it was pretty good. Felt like high in casual dining in beautiful clean well stated dine in restaurant. Cons... If you are on a "gluten free" restriction they only had two options Our waiter was a gem... a mature man with a very thick accent (charming) but the food took too long. read more

We came for brunch for my sisters birthday. This place has great food, great service and a sexy vibe!

This past Saturday a group of us ladies visited Lefkes for my friend's 30th birthday dinner. Back in October, a reservation was made verbally over the phone for seven people. The same reservation was confirmed the day before our highly-anticipated night out. Confirmation of this reservation was emailed to us via Opentable from the hostess. Over the phone the hostess explained to us Lefke's new policy; there was a two-and-a-half-hour time cap for each dinner table. I wish we could say we enjoyed a two-and-a-half sit-down dinner at Lefkes. This was not the case, however. When we arrived there at 8 pm, we were told our table was not ready. We were a little confused as to why - wasn't the two-and-a-half-hour time-cap rule put in to prevent things like this from happening? We were encouraged to wait at the bar. It was crowded and hard to get a drink. Fifteen minutes later we checked back in with the hostess about the status of our table. We were told if we wanted the table we must "buy a bottle". What the hell? Buy a bottle? We were there for dinner, not to go clubbing. What kind of last-minute rule is this? We were met with an incredibly sour and careless attitude by the Manager named Yuri. No apology was made on the behalf of this man - he could truly care less about our troubles. Forty-five minutes later we were seated. It was a disappointment to discover we were going to have to sit outside in a tent and not enjoy the main dining room with all the action, as we had originally requested. We had a lovely view of the parking lot from our tent. In fact, it just so happened we were lucky enough to be given front row seats to the valet show - the glaring headlights of vehicles shining in our eyes as they pulled in to park. It was cold, but despite having asked repeatedly, no one turned it on. (Wasn't one we could turn on ourselves.) We hoped management would do the right thing by making sure we were comfortable and happy and received excellent service. (Wishful thinking!) We were lucky if we got anything as little as a friendly look from anyone who worked there. Needless to say, we sat and waited for ANOTHER fifteen minutes before we were even properly greeted. We received a whole lot of nothing - not a glass of water, not a menu, not a "be right with you". Finally, some schmuck named Boris with an ear piece walked up like he was a member of the secret service. He extended us a very insincere apology. It seemed as though it pained him to admit anyone there had done anything wrong. Any other establishment with half the capacity and half the reputation would know the importance of making things right. They would have had the decency to at least send a round of drinks on the house. In fact, the place where we actually did eat did this for us as they could see the frustration written all over our faces. Not this place. Free drinks must be too costly for the busiest place in Englewood Cliffs. Boris did, however, offer us a table inside the DJ room after dinner. But considering the stunt they had pulled, we didn't trust they could guarantee us a spot if we couldn't even get a God forsaken glass of water and a heat lamp. Eventually, our waiter comes over. He was very nice, but clearly overwhelmed. He apologized and assured us we would be taken care of. He said the place is normally this busy on a Saturday night and it's "just the way it is". He suggested we each order two drinks each so we don't have to wait an hour in between rounds. Unfortunately, he couldn't make good on his promise as the first drink order took thirty minutes. And so we did the only respectable thing a group of seven girls who've been treated poorly should do - we got up and left! But first we had to retrieve the birthday cake from the hostess which was another huge waiting fiasco! During this time, manager Yuri shook my hand with a huge smile, not knowing I was with the same group of very pissed-off women. He asked me how my evening was. I explained very calmly that it was a nightmare. His face changed. He said nothing. HE WALKED AWAY. Never in my life have I experienced such poor hospitality at such a well-known place. Finally, we retrieve the cake and walked in the freezing cold in dresses and high-heels to a nearby restaurant called Grissini's. They graciously welcomed us with a wonderful dinner with the service we deserved. It's obvious they receive much of Lefkes dissappointed overflow. We were not only grateful for their great food and service, but felt extremely lucky to have found a decent restaurant to feed us before their kitchen closed. We would have otherwise found ourselves at the local diner celebrating a thirtieth birthday. It was the unapologetic, hideous attitudes of the managers that made this pill a particularly hard one to swallow. Suffice it to say, their greed and lack of concern ruined my friend's birthday and the evening for all of us. Shame on you, Lefkes. SHAME ON YOU. Sadly, none of us will never go back. read more

I love this place! This is my second time here and I came for brunch with my girls and we all had an amazing time. Food and service was exceptional, we had bottomless mimosas and the dj was great! Can't wait to be back! read more

Lefkes - Waffle with Nutella - Mediterranean Near Me - Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey

The food and drinks are incredibly overpriced for the portion size. The service at the bar was impossibly slow. The bus staff kept removing items before we were finished. We had to ask for plates and utensils to be brought. The waiters, when not involved in their own chat fest, weren't helpful to one another as if there were clear server boundaries. The music was way too loud for any dinner table conversation. This was exacerbated but extremely loud table conversations because of the music volume making it even more difficult to carry on your own table conversation. If you're in your 20's and 30's looking for a hookup, it's a great place to buy women drinks as they line up near the door for the attention of all the considerably older men sitting at the bar. And, finally, if you're in your 50's and 60's, it's a great place to take your playmate as we witnessed the 30 or more year age gap at more than a few tables. No, it definitely wasn't their daughters. There are much nicer places. read more

Lefkes - Mediterranean Near Me - Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey

Food was very average, underwhelming, and the service was really slow, especially for what they charge. We had a bigger group at one of the outdoor tables and the wait staff was slow and forgetful. They forgot drinks a few times (we waited 45 minutes for one person's drink we had to ask for 3 times) and no one came back to refill waters until we asked for a pitcher of water to just be left at the table. Also, one of the chairs broke while someone from our party was sitting in it. Luckily, no one was hurt, but the staff was hardly apologetic and didn't seem fazed by it. Lastly, only two bathrooms downstairs for such a large restaurant. I was told not to even bother going upstairs to the one other bathroom because it was too crowded. Disappointing, this place could be so much better if it was actually well managed. read more

Basically, our server, picked our appetizers, entrees and dessert. All 4 stars. The 5th star goes to the server (Zoe) who picked the meal and poured a great cocktail. Happy hour. Oysters. Try the Lamb Chops. Try the Halibut. Pick a dessert. Have a vodka. read more
