The surf an turf was fantastic. The Lobster is from South Africa. Super fresh Lobster an large for this time of year. Service was outstanding.
All I can say is wow! I came from Shelby Township and was running few minutes late. Came at 9:40 while the kitchen closed at 10. Called in advance and told them I was coming. But when the food came, me and my buddy LOVED IT!! The owner was running the $20 6oz filet special and decided to order two of them for $40, while a regular 12oz would cost $60. The chef cooked it to perfection and the staff made sure I was treated great. Talk about those meatballs...yumm!! Walking into Steven Lellis reminds you of The Godfather movies with the eloquent classic design and the staff wearing tux. Will never feel disappointed and will always come back..well worth the 45 minute drive for me.
Had dinner there last night. Mark the owner came to our table and immediately apologized for being short staffed. The server was great. He was attentive and very engaged in making our experience a great one. Short staffed or not the service was perfect. I had eggplant parmigiana which was spectacular.The pasta dish was cooked to perfection. This is truly a magnificent restaurant. Best food and best experience in town. What a fabulous evening..
The service was very good but the food was just ok...My shrimp were way overcooked and chewy as for the steak it was alright but nothing out of this world.
Such a beautiful establishment! Food was impeccable!!! Service the same!!! From valet to the owner. Thanks Mark for everything ❤
Not really sure how to rate this place🤔 Walking up to the doors the first thing I notice is zero pride taken to their flower beds out front, walking into the doors its VeRy beautiful but dusty, The first smell I noticed wasnt a combination of garlic or field greens, but the smell of an old musky dish rag, the tables were nice, Frank Sinatra playing, service was okay, food was decent, my Caesar salad was good, my bowl of pasta was very oily/greasy. **My dessert being the only thing Id write home about. Roasted pineapple, with a slice of ginger cake topped with a mango sorbet, set in the center of a heavy cream with what I believe was a raspberry sauce. So many flavors wrapped together working so well on one plate.
Overpriced and in need of interior updates.Not only was the seating horrible for a table of two because the placed you right in front of bigger parties that had booths but the lighting was terrible I could hardly see the menu let alone what I was eating. I spent 93$ on a 20oz steak although delicious it definitely wasnt 20oz more like 10oz. The sides werent great undercooked string beans I had potatoes that had a film over them from sitting either under a heater or in the oven on keep warm for too long. Even the salad was disappointing. Desert we had the driest chocolate cake I have ever tasted they put some chocolate syrup on there to make it seem fancy but fa from it you could get better at a grocery store. The only reason Im giving them 3 stars is because the staff did a good job checking on us and making sure we were okay I understand they just opened but this isnt a COVID19 safe restaurant. Yes staff wear mask but I got a crumpled up peice of paper as my menu with actually stains from other people handling it visibly present in that dim light.
The food was good but that was the only positive of the entire dining experience. Reservations were made for outdoor seating but upon arrival we were told there was no outdoor seating available. With COVID concerns, we reluctantly sat inside and did not see one staff member wearing a mask. Not even the older gentleman bussing our table who was so close to us it was unacceptable. The waiter highly recommended one particular entree so several of us ordered it. Minutes later he came back and said they were out of it. The noise from other patrons was so loud it was hard to have a conversation. Not a manager in site, just a sign upon entry that said we are short staffed. It was a very unpleasant experience, I would never recommend this restaurant. Had a similar experience there the only other time I tried it several years ago. Prices are ridiculous too along with the required valet parking which seems unnecessary.
I would highly recommend Steven Lellis On the Green. The filet mignon is cooked-to-perfection and the flavor is unbelievably good. Great experience. We will be back there many times.🙌🙌❤
We had my boys Fist holy communion party on 5/23/21Everything was perfect the food was delicious the crew was incredible and so helpful. Francis did everything I need to make our party perfect!! This Place is 10/10 and more. We were speechless and everyone was pleased. Thank you again Steven Lellis on the green my new favourite place to have my gatherings and parties👌😘
Delicious food worthy of five star dining experience, however unfortunately, COVID-19 happened. Good place for doctors to eat, nice to have patients lol. I havent been to the Detroit location for a comparison, but probably wouldnt recommend either considering the staffing issues made transparent the moment you step inside. Also prepare to be ignored if you arent anyone corrupted by greed.Awesome foodPay your employees more!!!
Hands down the best restaurant I’ve eaten at! The staff & food is second to none here. They make you feel like family, food portions are very generous & very flavorful! The casual atmosphere is very inviting & the staff makes you feel right at home!
Very good food, my server Tim couldve been way more attentive. Kept telling us they didnt have items that they actually had. Had to keep asking the bus man for things. Owner interacted with all the guests, except us but it was OK. Nice atmosphere.
This was a special occasion to celebrate my husbands and my birthdays. It had been delayed 4 months because I had spinal surgery. We had a wonderful waitress, but our food took over two hours to arrive! Our soup was great, the drinks were good, but the main course took forever to arrive at our table! And my food took another 10 minutes and seemed burned around the edges. Maybe it was all due to the huge party in the back outdoor room. If we had known it was going to be crowded, we would have come on another night or picked a different restaurant!
During this whole coronavirus pandemic, Lelli’s was still able to accommodate us fairly quickly. The manager Ari made sure everything was taken care of and was very pleasant. Our waitress Patty was exceptional. At the end of the day, Lelli’s lived up to their standards with the food and their service, absolutely amazing. 10/10 would recommend.....
Food was great, mixed drinks were okay. The atmosphere and staff, nothing short of amazing!
We went on Valentines day and celebrated 2 birthdays. The food was delicious as usual and our server was great. They always seem to go out of their way to accommodate us which we appreciate. Thanks again
Its really good to know some people out here taking responsibility during this difficult time of the year, helping health care professionals, law enforcement, and homeless people... A lot of business during this time try to do their own, but obviously Lellis Inn is taking responsibility,and feeding people to contribute society.so as a neighbor we need to actually buy food, and gift card to support them...thank you guys for your all good effort.
Steven Lellis on the Green is a 5 star restaurant across the board. The food, the drinks, the service- you can’t beat it. Ari and Mark will treat you like family every time you walk in the door. Thank you for many great memories!
The fish was excellent and has some of the most exotic alcohol selections Ive ever seen, my wife possibly wants our wedding dinner done here next year.
Made reservations for Saturday dinner Arrived on time, let them know we were here, stepped aside as there were others in line. They proceeded to seat the next three groups then us. Not sure why but ok. We were then taken through the dining room to the outdoor deck which was surprising and seated. There was a large party going on with small kids screaming. Not very pleasant and made conversation challenging. Limited menu, again another surprise. Ordered something different - Fillet with zip sauce. Wasn’t aware my entire dinner would be drenched in butter. Very oily/greasy. Gross. Your guests should be made aware of these things as it not what we expect from Lellis. Very disappointing If this is the new norm. Will definitely dine elsewhere
Outstanding..Service was wonderful..Food was Amazing..Apsolutlely Delicious!!This was our 1st. time at the restraunt. We were attending a funeral luncheon.We definitely will go back again ❣
Came here for our anniversary and decided to sit on the patio on a beautiful night. Felt as if the waiter had the whole restaurant since it took 15 minutes to get initial water and 30 minutes on a refill as well.Other than that, food is excellent and hearty portions. Had the spaghetti with meatballs while my wife had the mushroom pasta which she loved.Will be back.
Amazing meal from start to finish. Kalamari was the best Ive had so far (67 yrs) ministrone soup was great along with both our steak and veal. Great job.
Ate out on the deck facing the golf courseExcelant Italian foodLarge portions. Could not eat it allHad enough carry out for supper the next day. A little pricey but well worth the experience.
The atmosphere is smooth. The service was spot on. Scott was a great waiter. Food is phenomenal!
This place is truly awesome. Great place for romantic date night inside or out. Food is outstanding, as it should be, if your going to go Italian. Carrot cake and coffee is perfect finish to all the culinary delights. Calamari appetizer is heavenly. Just make a reservation and go!!!
Such a great experience every time I dine here! I was feeling a little under the weather most recently and had some soup, very fresh and served hot. I had the Chicken Lelli after and it was delicious, always consistent. Great for events too, I’ve celebrated a birthday and also my sisters communion party in their banquet area. They accommodated about 100 people. Great service and staff. Recommended!
First timers, we went because my Mom was in town and enjoys nice dining experiences. Read some good things about the restaurant so I chose Lelli’s. I’m glad I did. Walking in we met Former World Champion Boxer Tommy “The Hitman Hearns” as well as the owner on their way out. They politely waited, held the door for us and greeted us so warmly. Mr. Hearns said, “take my table when you get inside”.. we felt like royalty from the start. Having spent most my life in swanky NYC and Boston steakhouses, I was swept away by the nostalgia and ambiance this gem of a restaurant exuded. Sinatra on the speakers, and leather seats with chandeliers and red velvet drapes made me feel like I was back in a celebrity 5 star restaurant in NYC. The food was spot on. Let me highly recommend the best minestrone soup in the world. Amazing. Don’t go with the salad- take that soup. Trust me. The wife and I have been to the best steak places in Detroit, Prime and Proper, Marrow, London Chop House, etc. Glad we saved ourselves the trip and went to Lelli’s. Steak was cooked to perfection and the sauce was miraculous. Couple of hiccups on the service but as to be expected during a pandemic when bus service and typical operations are difficult, we didn’t feel ignored. We will certainly be back, and frequently. No need to drive to Detroit when we have a 5 star gold standard establishment right here in Oakland County.
Excellent food and the service was impeccable !!!! Our waiter, Sanford, was awesome and made our anniversary celebration even more complete. Love this place and highly recommend it if you are looking for an elegant and 1st class dining experience.
Hands down a one of a kind experience. Exquisite dinners had by the 4 of us. Service was excellent. We will be back.
One of the best Italian steakhouses around. Service is top notch, food is always great, and the ambiance is excellent. The owner, Mark, is almost always around interacting with guests and making sure the place runs smoothly. I have never been disappointed with a meal here. Far and away my favorite place to go for spaghetti and meatballs.
Our experience was mediocre. And the only reason I said that was because our food took 2 hours to get to our table. The food when it finally arrived was great. Apparently, there was a new chef that night ( I totally understood because I have 2 chefs in my family sometimes you get slammed). Mezra and Rod were superb. Actually the entire staff was great.So my overall feelings about this restaurant is give it a try. The ambience is nice. The music is calming. The staff is great! I would give it a 5-star but my food was late. Sorry I like to eat on time. 😁
First time at Lelli’s this past Valentine’s Day weekend and I loved it. The minestrone soup is delicious...definitely a good choice as an appetizer. The filet was hands down the most tender I’ve ever had it and very flavorful.The lemon ice is also really good for dessert. Overall this place has a great atmosphere and is perfect for a date night. Mark, the owner, is very engaged and interactive with guests!
My family has been going to Lelli’s, not for years, for generations... from the original on Woodward, to the Pontiac location, and now the this one. We ate here tonight and it was every bit as good as its ever been. Lorenzo provided great service. The minestrone soup is the best you’ll ever have. The filet with the zip sauce is always melt in your mouth perfect. We love this place.
Exceeded our expectations! Amazing food amazing service! We had our work holiday party here. The table was nicely set. Food was so fresh and delicious! Everyone was so friendly and attentive. Thank you Lorenzo for taking extra care of us! We will definitely be back!
A nice little spot for a romantic night out. The food was nothing to rave about, my potatoes came out luke warm. The ambience was really nice. The service was great, Nicole is awesome.
Private party with excellent service and staff. Hors doeuvres were fabulous and the supper unbelievably good. From the salad through the main course I have zero complaints. Beef SO tender and full of flavor, shrimp excellent and my wife had the egg plant which she loved. Definitely a do again! Thanks!
I am looking for reservations for my anniversary. The comment from management on a review left 3 days ago is a complete embarrassment to your establishment and enough for me to not even consider eating here. Personal attacks on your customers? They cant afford it? Wow.
A wonderful dining experience all the way around. The filet were amazing and salmon excellent. We opted the the extras which included a small plate of antipasto, the best minestrone ever and the pasta bolognese that I devoured, all before the main course arrived. Needless to say we brought home a bag of leftovers. Will be back! Thank you for your hospitality Ari and terrific service Sandy.
I went for the Mothers Day brunch with my family. The food seemed to be set up late, and none of the dishes were labeled. All the dishes had serving spoons, when some things clearly needed tongs, especially the bacon and sausage. It wasnt even half full inside yet, but the staff seemed extremely busy. Our server was friendly and funny, but unfortunately forgot things and also had to correct our bill. The food was good, but some of it was cold. For the price, I wouldnt risk going again.
Amazing selection of food and wines with an even more amazing interior. The owner, Mark, ensures that every table is being taking care of, and is a great character. The filet mignon was also phenomenal! Staff in general is extremely well-prepared and super friendly, and the overall atmosphere is very unique. Lelli’s is welcoming of all ages, and is a family-friendly environment. Highly recommend for private events as well— their buffet options are some of the best in the state.
Finally the restaurant have open back up and decided to join my family for birthday celebration during lock down. It was our first time and guest second time going. Well, the waitress running around and unable to give us some quailty time. Food started with being out of our appetizer. Then we waited for 2 hrs for our food. Wasnt hungary when it can. Had to ask for salt, pepper, parmesan chees and bread. Was not inpressed and will not be returning .
The place is really nicely decorated on the inside very dim lighting a very romantic type feel to it the food was absolutely good this is on the higher end of pricing very few people of color ..but they were friendly ☺️
My first experience at Steve Lillies on the green was Awesome. Service was excellent our server Dale was the best very personable and attentive. The food was delicious and very appealing to the eye. Atmosphere was classic along with old Blue eyes playing in the background. The owner Mark came and interacted with our table and was extremely nice. This was my first experience however or will not be my last
There is a lot to say about this fantastic restaurant. What a great place to be!!!! High-quality and delicious food! Outstanding service. Very professional. Very clean. Very friendly and welcoming faces. We are always kindly greeted by all of the wonderful staff members who work hard to accommodate all of their customers! This is a perfect place for a night out with friends/family or any special occasion especially if you are looking for an Excellent dining experience. We love Lelli’s!!!!
Lorenzo was our server. Unfortunately, right after Valentines Day, they were out of mussels and escargot. However, between the service and the food, the compensation was superb. After the meal, Mark the owner came out. Wonderful guy. Asked how our experience was and treated us to dessert. Lorenzo was also very accommodating. I’m very happy to recommend this place for an intimate dinner with a lively Italian vibe. Loved it!Hey Mark! Here’s my shout out!!! 👍🏽Thanks again man!
Took my wife here for the first time on a recommendation from a friend on Valentines Day and I was not disappointed. we were seated immediately for our reservation and despite a packed restaurant every Waiter/ waitress was attentive and even if your specific waiter could not come to the table the Busboys and waiters walking by would also contribute if needed without being asked. The food was perfect we tried new foods we have never tried before and now love. I ordered the filet medium Plus which is a step towards medium well and it came out absolutely perfect in my wifes filet ordered medium well came exactly as described This will be on our destination for special occasions for my family and friends for years to come. The ambience is amazing and a great experience needed to try at least once in a lifetime. There was a loud party in the back room however but it was not the restaurants fault its a matter of poor etiquette on behalf of the customers.
This is absolutely my favorite place to eat. The food is impeccable, the service is terrific and the owner is on top of everything! Great dining experience! 👍👍
If you’re looking for great Italian food, then this is the place. I’ve dined here many times, and I’ve always been thrilled with both the food and the service. The wait staff is excellent, and you can tell they are committed to quality as the owner is always around checking up on his guests. Truly, this is the best Italian spot in Michigan.
My family and I have been going to Lellis since the original in Auburn Hills, before this location even opened, and it is usually phenomenal. However, the mothers day brunch was severely lacking. Every year since they started doing the brunch it has gone downhill drastically so the point that it was really a waste of money and we will be making reservations somewhere else next year. The amount of food on the buffet dwindles down each year, the options were lackluster and the food itself was subpar. Additionally, the atmosphere which is usually wonderful, was not at all and did not look like an upscale restaurant should. The plate station was almost always empty, there was no clear beginning or end of the buffet line, and the omelette station kept running out of toppings and was just a mess. It was very chaotic and underwhelming, I understand trying something new but lellis needs to stick with what its good at and just stop doing brunches altogether.
Been here several times and this last time we were very disappointed. The meat on the antipasto tray wasnt fresh (looked gray). The spaghetti (meat sauce) was extremely slimmy. We ordered surf and turf (lobster tails) that were mushy. For s $300.00 bill, very disappointed ☹️
We made a reservation at Lellis because of the good food and service that we had had when Lellis was in Downtown Detroit. It was just a blah experience in Farmington Hills. We were celebrating a 65th wedding anniversary and a birthday. First of all we ordered our drinks to make a toast. A couple of martinis were delivered and then it took another 20 minutes for the balance of the drinks to be delivered. So while we waited for everyone else to get served, our martinis got warm and we could not make a toast. There were supposed to be blue cheese olives in our martinis, they were just regular olives. Our dinners had the same poor coordination. The last meal was delivered after her husband had completely finished his meal. We had to stop the bus boy to order our wine. We had coffee with our dessert, but couldnt seem to get a coffee refill. This was not a good experience. When the food came it was fine. The problem was not with the food.
This is by far one of our favorite restaurants. From start to finish its perfection. We love the appetizer plate, the soup, the salad and we have never had a bad meal regardless of what we order. Huge portions ! We come here for Special occasions and just as an every day type meal !!! Our happy place!
Worst service ever. The waiter put in the wrong order to the cook. He brought out the wrong meal and tried to convince us to take it as is. My wife turned the meal away but took the side dish of pasta. My son ordered a Lelli burger which includes bacon. The burger did not have bacon. The waiter tried to convince us that the bacon was not standard and since we got fries, we did not get bacon. We had to go show him the menu to prove it. So the waiter brought us a bowl of bacon bits that are used on a salad. We spoke with the manager and he took off the incorrect meal but added the side of pasta. Now I am really upset. I asked if they are going to charge us for the pasta, what is the discount for the missing bacon. Eventually we got another $4 discount. The owner who was working the room until we had a problem was hiding in the kitchen. He was too busy to talk to us but said we could go see him in the kitchen. I am pretty sure no other restaurant would allow a customer in the kitchen. So if the had taken of the side pasta before giving us the bill we probably walked away unhappy but not outraged.The waiter was belligerent and the owner would not speak with us.The young manager was sincerely embarrassed and apologized profusely but his hands were tied.Thank you for your response and proving my point exactly. There were only 2 other tables that were occupied at the end of our meal. If the waiter had not been belligerent when dealing with his errors we would have reacted differently. Being charged for the side of pasta that we had to scrape off the plate was the last straw. If you read other reviews you will see this behavior by the wait staff and the manager is not unique.
There are only 2 restaurants in Michigan that can cook a steak to the exact temperature you ordered. Every time.Lellis is one. Never miss the chance to have a steak here.You will NEVER regret it!Oh, and dont forget the Zip Sauce!
We had a wonderful experience at Lelli’s for our Valentines dinner. We sat at the bar prior to our reservation and were taken care of by the bartender, Nick, who was very acomdating and prompt. We were then sat in the red room and enjoyed a beautiful dinner (highly recommend the filet) where we were checked on multiple times by the owner and served by Sanford who was funny and attentive. We had an incredible evening and would recommend coming for any special occasion. The ambiance was romantic and “old school” in the best way. Enjoy!
I enjoyed myself at Steven Lellis Inn On The Green. The facility is so calm and relaxing. To look out and view the golf course and players was even more special. The Staff members were courteous, and professional. The food was very delicious and the facility was extremely cleaned. I would recommend this place to any one who would want a (FIVE STAR PLUS RATING)
Some of the best phone I’ve ever eaten. The shrimp and chicken Lelli is amazing. The palomino and bolognese is delicious. Theirs steaks and chateaubriand are fantastic, really can’t say enough great things about the place. The management and ownership team make you feel at home. For a fine dining experience please go give it a try.
Had my work Holiday Luncheon there on Friday -- they did a great job. Space was done well, staff was friendly and on-point. Food was, per the usual with this restaurant, outstanding. Their minestrone continues to be the best in the Detroit Metro Area. Highly recommend.
I’m new to the Novi area but this place had been recommended to me by a friend. It did NOT disappoint. Greeted by a cheerful hostess, seated immediately. Our waitress was wonderful. Had a filet which was delicious. Waitress and staff handled our custom requests with grace and success. The patio was beautiful and romantic. Will definitely return!
Food was delicious! Our service left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately the service is a big part of the dining experience so I dont think we will be returning.
Can not express how disappointed the evening was. We had a surprise Birthday party reservation that we were seated 45 min. late for. Then it took 2 1/2 hours to get our food which made us late for our next reservation. After all that our waitress gave us a hard time because she felt she should have been given a Christmas tip. 1st and last time they will see us!
My buddy took me here bragging about how amazing it was. He was definitely right, had a great Filet for a amazing price of $20!!! Couldn’t believe it. Zip sauce can be a little thicker but was also very good!! Thanks A lot Mark for the great experience, this place is a must try!!
Service was good, food was average, not as good as it has been in the past. It seems the lack of workforce willing to work may be affecting this fabulous restaurant.
Steven Lellis on the Green is a wonderful dining experience with amazing food presented beautifully. The staff is fantastic and give superb service. My husband and I love coming to this restaurant. All the senses are awakened from the moment you sit down to the last bite. Your host, owner Mark Zarkin makes every patron feel welcomed, and adds even more class and enjoyment to the whole dining experience.
The best minestrone soup I’ve ever had. Highly recommend Chicken Lelli. My husband had Shrimp Lelli. Fantastic atmosphere, fantastic service. Wonderful wait staff. Great selection of wine. The wine that Mark picked for us was fantastic. He runs a top notch restaurant and the desserts were out of this world.
Absolutely amazing. I got a rare steak that was to die for and the atmosphere was a classy/relaxed breath of fresh air. Also, very reasonably priced for what you get!
Visited Lellis without a reservation with a one of my best friends and were seated relatively fast in the bar area. Our waiter was very attentive and timely. Our drinks, appetizer and meals came to us in good time and were terrific. I recommend highly.
Good food nice atmosphere but the facilities are getting shabby.In response to the owners comment, in the front of the building, right next to the entrance there is a window ledge that is completely rotted out and falling off. The eaves of the building are in only slightly better condition.This is the first thing a customer sees as they approach the building.In addition, the lights were all extremely dust covered and looked like they havent been cleaned in years.
Like stepping back in time. Such an elegant restaurant with amazing service. I loved my Veal Piccatta entree and others enjoyed different Filet entrees. For $14 extra, you can select a 6 course meal. You definitely need to add this on as well. You need to go to Lellis, you wont leave hungry!
Lelli’s on the green is hands down a Michigan icon and will always be with the amazing food/service and brilliant atmosphere. Where can I start the food is very delicious. This is a place where you finish everything on your plate. The six course is a must have. The decor of the place is genuine and ties together very well. I will continue to come to Lelli’s like always! Thank you Mark! Truly a 5 star experience
Love the food. I like my steak very rare and they cook it to my perfection every time. Amazing staff. Amazing owner!! Love interacting in this atmosphere. Romantic, fun, fine dining.
Excellent food, and PHENOMENAL service!! This place is amazing! Had such a beautiful ambience and romantic vibe. The booths/tables are so lovely and our food was cooked amazingly. So much flavor in the filet mignon and the shrimp Lelli is to die for!! Our waiter Scott was an absolute gentlemen and gave us amazing service. Nicole is also an absolute sweetheart, and so professional! Go and see them!!! Prices were great, and you get so much for your money. I highly suggest taking your S.O here for a birthday, or anniversary, or just because. I will be back here for sure more!
My husband and I love this restaurant. The atmosphere, the waitstaff, THE FOOD!! Everything about this place is AMAZING. If you haven’t been you should definitely go.
I was there for a memorial dinner and the staff was outstanding. We had a 5 course meal with a choice of 5 entres. What we couldnt finish we got to take with us. The restaurant is a 4th generation family business and the decor is super. Loved all the photos lining the walls
I thought this place would be good considering the good reviews. But they were understaffed which is completely understandable but the food was not good (ordered pasta) and they don’t separate checks and did not check on our table at all.
Lellis is our favorite place to dine in the area. The food is always amazing and the service cannot be beat.My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary on an evening when the restaurant is typically closed, the owner, Mark came to the rescue by making a special exception and allowed us in.Needless to say, the private dining experience combined with a top notch meal made the occasion truly special.Well definitely be back.
I had no idea of this place until my father took me, and all I have to say is excellent! The calamari was actual calamari not that red Lobster bread rings the salad was amazing and the best part was the Parmesan cheese I hate that gimmick you get a Olive Garden with the cheese grinder it should be like a powder and the sea bass was so fresh I tried my fathers steak and it just melted in my mouth... but I think the absolute best part was dessert! The carrot cake were to die for cannoli and the Tiramisu was authentic like it was right out of Italy. Last but not lest our waiter was a good conversationalist and an all around great man and the building was beautiful inside and out very professional thank you!
My go to favorite restaurant. Love the place. The ambience, the service second to none, and of course the steak is great every time. I will say, however, watch holidays when they are super busy. Sometimes not the best but hey its the holidays. Go any other time and its the best. Highly recommend it. See you there.
We visit Lellis on special occasions. We celebrated a birthday dinner on 2-24-17 at Lellis on the Green. Our server was Elizabeth and she took good care of us. Our son (the birthday boy) ordered the special steak of the night --the Butchers Butter. It arrived overly seasoned and very salty. He could not eat it. When we mentioned it to Elizabeth the manager had the chef come out and explain how he seasoned the steak. He explained in detail his process and then walked away. We paid our bill of $350 (4 people) and left. We paid for 5 star service and did not get it.
This is our family go-to for nice occasions! Best filet mignon you can get anywhere. I also love the Chicken Piccata! Took a group of 10 in and the service was top rate. We will all be returning soon!
First time ever, and had an amazing experience. Staff was very attentive and personable; the food was outstanding from the first bite and plenty as well. This is by far the best minestrone soup i have ever had! Will definitely come back again.
Very first class..food was great. Waiters where first class as well. Everything my wife and I had was delicious. I have been going there for years. Most of the waiters that serve there been there for years. They do have velvet parking available.
Excellent selections, great wine list, food very tasty, wonderful friendly wait staff. Nice valet guy. Social distancing setting
We sat at the bar. When I asked the bartender if they had blue cheese stuffed olives, she replied, Of course. Turns out, its Gorgonzola stuffed which was terrible. Then we had to wait a while before they returned to take our appetizer order. Waited 30min for the appetizer to arrive (and it wasnt very good at all). Considering the prices on the menu, I would expect a level of service and food much higher then they deliver. There are many other places that serve better food and service for a much lower price.
Our whole office celebrated the holidays at Lellis last week-- we had a blast! The food was great, the staff was really friendly and accommodating. Loved it, well be back!
I went there for Valentine’s Day and had the most splendid meal. I ordered the Veal chop. All I can say is wow! It was perfect. I also had a piece of chocolate cake. I’m definitely going back
My family and I attended a family members Baptism celebration recently at Steven Lellis Inn on the Green and from the moment we where greeted by the owner Mark and his staff at the door everything was wonderful. The service and servers where excellent, food was served on time and was wonderful. We had an amazing time and we look forward to returning soon.
I celebrated Valentine’s Day in Sat with my girlfriend the food was the best I ever had . I recommend the Filet with zip sauce , and make sure you try the spaghetti with meat sauce . Don’t forget the Carrott Cake ,and Chocalate Cake you won’t be disappointed . Have a drink before dinner with Nick at the bar he was amazing . Mark was a amazing host he checked on our table 3 times . if I could give this place 10 stars I would . Experience I will never forget .
Had a party of 16 people, which we called 2 weeks out for a reservation. From the time we sat it was almost 90 minutes before the food was brought out. A couple of people in our party had to go to the bar to get refills on their drinks and water(s). Drinks were generally empty and we all said they could have made a lot more if they brought out replacements for our empty cocktails.One person in our party ordered the Surf and Turf - market price. We knew the 6 oz filet was $40 on it’s own because a couple of us order it, but when my friend got his bill it was $118 for that. So market price for their lobster is about $80, so buyer beware.Overall it was a disappointing experience with the only highlight coming from everyone laughing at our friends over priced meal.
Great atmosphere.. Lots of parking, or valet. Exceptional service, quality and value. Great views in summer and outdoor seating. Lamb chops excellent. Soup is the best. The owners son is first class, a great young man.
Lelli’s is one of our absolute favorite restaurant’s to eat at, food is always amazing, love our server Patty she is always fantastic, love love the atmosphere and the owner always comes by the table to greet and make sure everything is good
Recently my wife and I visited Michigan from Georgia. My best friend took us to this wonderful restaurant. I was extremely happy with the food. Steak&chop is off the chart. I forgot what my wife had but I do remember her reaction and it was priceless. To my surprise the staff reminded me of the souther hospitality I am used to experiencing. And you cant go wrong with Frank Sinatra playing all night. Loved it. Looking forward to it next year. I wish I could remember the server name. He was a gentlemen and a scholar.
Our experience with having my daughters wedding there was spectacular! Everybody was on point and the food was amazing! you sincerely outdid yourself and I sincerely appreciate everyones help with our very special day.
Absolutely amazing! The food was outstanding, and everything was delicious especially the filet mignon and the lobster lelli. The service was impeccable and we could not have asked for a better host with Mark and Fozzi as our waiter. The wine was incredible and it was hands down the best dining experience Ive ever had.
Sadly, Chef John - formerly with the closed Lark restaurant, and more recently the executive chef here, is now taken leave. Fortunately, the current kitchen did very well on Thanksgiving with a prefix choice of brined, tender white turkey breast or braised beef. The sides served family style to our party of 5 were all good each with a nice touch. The ambience of the place still ranks as one of the best in town. It is certainly one of the best eateries in the Farmington- Farmington Hills- Southfield area. Sinatra style songs are played continuously and bring back another era with a lovely eating experience. Dinner here is expensive off the regular menu with the dont miss minestrone soup as good as any in the city. Ask for a small pitcher of hot water to accompany it , if you want to thin this very thick soup. The soup is served warm, so ask for it to be heated if thats how you like it. They are famous here for there filet mignon and New York strip steaks - both with a house zip sauce. You get them very tender and prepared to your liking, but a serving is way too much protein at one sitting ...but take home is always done with a smile. Wine is available by glass or bottle. Usually ordering a house wine by glass is going to be good quality for a fair price, by most folks standards This visit to a yesteryear style of fine dining is very enjoyable. You can bet that Frank is likely going to remind you in song to Do it Your Way..
I’ve been going here since they opened. They never disappoint. If you want original zip sauce, original shrimp Lelli or the best palomino sauce this is your place. Perhaps the best filet in town as well. Great for parties , events and get togethers.
A fantastic restaurant. A real Italian place where food is high quality and delicious and service is great. Get the full meal with all of the courses - the Minestrone soup is amazing and pasta sauce is made with prime beef. The Spumoni ice cream is the same as when I was young.I love it.
We did carryout. The minestrone brings me back to Lellis on Woodward. Food was delicious and will be going back to dine in soon
Lellis left a lasting impression on me. In the Farmington Hills theres not many places that can provide a great atmosphere, high quality food, and unique aesthetics all while providing top of the line customer service. The manager himself welcomed me into the restaurant and throughout the meal made sure everything was to my liking. I dont typically leave reviews unless there was an issue involved in my visit, but Lellis is well deserving of this five star rating and my future business.
Lellis is a classic! Its an old school Italian place with velvet upholstery, and I love it. The staff is always warm, welcoming and helpful, and the food is delicious. The filet and zip sauce is out of this world! The bolognese is delish, too!
I took my entire family to dinner here and they treated us like kings and queens. The food was excellent and affordable and the ambience was fantastic. The host was very welcoming and the wait staff was perfection. It was a perfect perfect experience.
This is not the fine dining restaurant it believes that it is. I spent a lot of time planning a party for a mile stone birthday to have it end as a failure. The food was cold, my contract indicated bread - there was none, the non-alcoholic beverages were to be by consumption only...meaning only if my guest requested them; they were forced on them, which led to a charge of $3 per drink, the owners wanted to the party music to play at a whisper when the contract indicated 70 decibels. The sad part about it is I could not advocate for my guests because of an illness in my family, which took my attention away from the beautiful party I thought I’d planned. This venue (among other hired services) turned it into a disaster. I wasted a lot of money on this venue. I would not recommend parties at this location. If you do, go with a sit- down dinner. That was what I initially wanted and was swayed toward a strolling meal. And most of all, I have reached out many times afterwards and have been ignored. I’m still devastated.Response to Owner’s note (Nov 1, 2019):Excuse me...how dare you disclose my husband’s personal medical affairs in the web as a response to a failed business event. Your rating was about the party service and nothing about my husband’s illness. Very LOW to introduce that in your defense. My husband did not make these plans with you - I did!!
1. Gorgeous, clean, romantic surroundings.2. Expert professional service and super friendly host that made us all feel welcome.3. Every course was delicious (better than the old Lellis downtown)4. The garlic knot rolls were epic. Seriously epic.
Great Happy Hour, fantastic food and wonderful service!!! The dinner menu is $$$$ but the Happy Hour menu is very well priced.
Thank you for your assistance in helping me arrange what turned about to be a wonderful get together for Stacie. The staff at Lellis was fantastic! (you should know I set the bar high for delivery of amazing customer experiences). Ron and the bartender delivered! Also, the food was excellent as expected. Stacie was the only in town for a short period of time. Therefore, I chose to maintain an intimate group of people for this event due to such a short window to plan. Otherwise I would have had double the people or more experience such outstanding service. I will keep your venue in mind for company team building dinners/events and upcoming 30th anniversary.
Steven Lelli & Mark Zarkin keep an old Detroit tradition alive at Lellis Inn on the Green. Outstanding service by Patty & as always delicious food!Make it a dining destination soon.
Very nice place and food!Im vegan and the waiter work out very nice whit me to give me choices!
Terrible service. Waited over 2 hours for entre. Waiter only asked how we we were doing once. This was a. birthday party gone bad. Their excuses were laughable. Although they were short of help. I wont return so I can pay a $450 dinner bill for 6 and say I enjoyed it. What a waste of a good party ruined by Lellis
Horrible horrible horrible!!!! While the food here was good the service provided just lacked. We booked the terrace for our sons first communion. Two hours between appetizers and lunch. The only thing the owner and his wife do is lie lie lie than they lie to cover up there lies. I definitely would not recommend this venue for anything .
I travel from cross town to enjoy great food and treatment. All of the wait staff and employees are always 1st class. The food is out of this world and always exceptional. I can’t wait to ny next dining experience!
I was in on Christmas Eve celebrating with family and I thought this place was exceptional! We had so much fun. The food, service, and atmosphere are fantastic. I had the chicken lelli and minestrone which I highly recommend! If you’re opting for a salad, their dressing is soooooo good!!!
Horrible experience! Owner treated us like we ate a cheap steak at Applbees. Went here for a bachelor party and spent over 200.00 for 4 people. The food took forever and got nothing but excuses. Finally 2 of 5 meals had steak cooked incorrectly. One has to be actually sent back 3 times. The owner came to table and was really arrogant and not at all sincere. We were attending a late comedy really show and almost missed that! We were given free dessert, which was nothing to write home about..I actually asked the Waiter for a discount or that steak off the bill.....should I really have to ask!!! The bill.came and nothing off!!! What a classless horrible place! ,one owner leaves reviews as a fake customer for his own restaurant. Take your money to a decent restaurant please and dont let a place that plays off the old lellis name take your money!!!! They need to have a zero star option here. Esposito is a much better choice on 14 and Farmington, in my opinion, no place should treat people like this, especially for the prices...Shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!
Class and great atmosphere that is mismatched by the presentation or taste of the food. We could say more to the benefit of the restaurant/chef but that would only be meaningful if quality issues are recognized, and improvement is desired.
I always enjoy my lunches and dinners here at Lelli’s. On The Green. The food is always tremendous and the atmosphere is the best in town. This is my favorite restaurant in all of Michigan. Tonight I had the minestrone soup, pasta side and chateaubriand—it was fabulous as usual! Plus, Mark Zarkin is a wonderful host. He always stops by the table to say hello. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!!!!
Headed to Lellis Inn on the Green for a couple of celebrations. An incredible dinner of filets, ribeye, salmon and scallops ushered a wonderful evening to celebrate our sons graduation and daughters taking of the MCAT.The house salad was delightful, along with some wonderful cocktails including my Hendricks martini. The meals arrived shortly thereafter, not rushed, not too late. The signature filet and zip sauce were exactly that signature - and did not disappoint.Fawze was an amazing server, and the team took great care of us. Fawze had a wonderful sense of humor and provided superior service as well as guidance.Our wonderful evening was topped off with dessert consisting of cannoli and teramizu, both of which were great.Thanks for a great evening!
We had dinner here to celebrate my boyfriends birthday. It was a great experience. Our waiter was very good and we had more food than we could eat. The food was wonderful too!
My husbands boss took all of his employees and their spouses out for a wonderful 6 course dinner here. Words fail me with how delicious the food was and how potent the drinks were 😍
One of my favorite restaurants in Michigan. The best drinks, food and customer service. The owner is amazing and always makes sure you have the perfect dining experience. Eat at Lelli’s!!!
Awesome!! I love coming here with my family and enjoying a big meal or sitting at the bar when my husband and I have date night! Food is always wonderful and the service is excellent. The patio is one of the best in Michigan.
Always an amazing time at Lelli’s. The food, the service and the atmosphere are all 5 star experiences. They treat you like family from the second you walk in until the very end. When I go out for the best food and drinks I go to Lelli’s
Got the entire family together for Moms 90th Birthday. Horrible service, food was mediocre, at best. The entrees were served 45 mintues after the last course. And when they were served all the Steaks were cold and not cooked properly. For $85.00 a plate, its reasonable to expect them cooked properly and served hot. The waiter was horrible (kind of nuts) and the supporting staff were rude. The owners came to find out all the problems and they did nothing about it. From now, if its Lellis, Im just going to STAY HOME. By the way, I emailed them and they never responded.
Had dinner at the bar. Amazing food they gave huge portions and we loved the bartender. Mark Zarkin was also a phenomenal host. Unforgettable experience. Will be back very soon.
Dont be surprised if you have exceptional food at a fine dining establishment. Lellis is no exception. Dont be surprised if you have a superior atmosphere at a fine dining establishment. Lellis is also no exception in this. Whether for a romantic date or for a business dinner you cant go wrong at Lellis. Lellis has an old world feel you will never find at one of those national chain restaurants. Highly recommended.
Restaurant is OK, but they are a terrible neighbor. They hold events outdoors in the summer, with loud music until late at night, many days of the week. Many calls to the restaurant and the police do no good. Last night music was blaring until 11:20 PM (Thursday night!), when the police met with them the 2nd time that night. Could not get go to bed with the music thumping. It is not like we are next door - we are over 1200 feet away, with dense woods between us. Do not support a business that does not care about its neighbors!
Awesome restaurant. Great wine selection. The great lakes whitefish was delicious.
Not only is this a destination restaurant youd be proud to bring your out of town guests, Lellis has an unparalleled pedigree and holds a ranking high among the legendary and award-winning Detroit area dining establishments.Heres a twist, I was one of Lellis tuxedo-clad waiters several years ago, and by the end of this August, 2018...have I got something for all the patrons of Lellis to read. While diners can hide behind their reviews, authors cannot hide behind their words.Feeding the mAsses (No, mAsses is not a typo, look closely) is a compilation of true stories about people at their weirdest and worst while dining out; many of which occurred while I served at Lellis.If you think these 1 and 2-Star Reviews are nasty, wait until you read about some of the people Ive served in that glorious restaurant.As for the food...I defy anyone to find a more delectable Chateaubriand on the planet; and few places can compare to Lellis minestrone and other long held family recipes.As for the servers and their service...as I say in my book...EVERYONE should be made to wait tables for two straight weeks before dining out next; youd be amazed at what an unbelievably difficult job serving strangers is, and you might even think twice before submitting a scathing review.I consider waiting tables to be among the noblest professions. They say that if you can become a competent server, and Lellis takes pride in hiring only the best servers in the metropolitan area, you can handle ANY job; because theres so much multitasking involved during the course of a shift on the dining room floor.Lastly, Mark Zarkin is among the last of the great restaurateurs. His hospitality and affability are strong suits as is Frans attention to every finite detail at the host stand and throughout the restaurant.If you read all of the lower-starred reviews, you owe it to yourself to read this glowing one. Cheers to all my old Lellis peeps. I hope to be stopping by soon with my bride. Stay well. I KNOW you EAT well! And that aint Fake News!PS: After reading some of the reviews I stumbled upon one written by a person I served. Not coincidentally, his rating was 1-Star. And, guess what, the full and TRUE STORY of what happened that night at that persons table is one of the favorites of mine in my book. Another coincidence? I think not. Perhaps Ill include their review in that story!
Excellent food as always. Best filet I’ve ever had. Server (Patty) was top notch. Owner stops by your table for a chat and to make sure all is perfect. Thanks again!
This is a great restaurant with great food, good service & a wonderful bartender. Nick, the bartender, is friendly, always has a smile & knows what he’s doing. The service is outstanding - both at the bar & sitting with family & friends at a table for dinner.
Food and service is always 10/10! Staff is very friendly and every dish on the menu is amazing!
It was the best food Ive ever eaten in my life the staff was so polite and caring Ill be back as soon as The Cove Atlantis and bring a whole group of people
W had a great time last night at table 74. Also it was fun chatting with David at the bar. Our meal was great as always. Philli and Cray were the best -- Looking forward to many more evenings with you and supporting your restaurant!
WENT TO THE BEST BIRTHDAY PARTY. HAD THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE SO DID MY FRIEND SHAWN. Cant tell whos it was.
All time favorite restaurant!! The owner is AMAZING! Best service all around! Come in and you won’t be disappointed!! :)
Attended a private party in this beautiful place. The food was great and the outdoors atmosphere and scenery is nice.
My favorite Italian restaurant. The food is incredible and the service is excellent. Mark and Ari Zarkin are great hosts. A perfect meal every time!
For some reason it wasnt busy on a Friday night which was great for us. We all had a great meal as usual. Spaghetti and meatballs, grilled fish, and veal lelli were all outstanding.
Absolutely now one of my favorite restaurants. The food was so good and the service was even better.
Terrible, ZERO stars. Ive dined at this restaurant on 3 different occasions hoping for better food and service, too no avail, I will never be back. Before you respond, Mr. Zarkin, Ive read your previous responses to bad reviews and its very indicative of how you run your restaurant and treat your customers, your absence of responsibility is astounding. Also, might I suggest you hire someone who has passed the second grade before writing a very condescending paragraph to your patrons with absolutely no punctuation.
The terrace atmosphere and classy, attentive service were lovely; friendly chef came to check on us. Pricy menu was a bit stodgy and could use some reimagination. Food was large and not too fresh. Flavors and textures were one-note and lacked moderation and balance...individual ingredients (like duck) did not shine.
Tonight was our 34th anniversary. Ive been a Lellies customer 25 years till I went three years ago to the Updike restaurant....this Lellies is the restaurant I remember. Filet mignon for two, lobster tail, all the trimmings! Doug was outstanding as our waitor and the recipes were spot on. Thanks for making a special night the way I remember Lellies downtown!My compliments to the chef as well.I highly recommend this 5 star restaurant for that special occasion.
I have never been before, looking at reviews and when the guest say good things the owner doesnt respond. But, when there is bad reviews the owner slams the customer. Not good for business, a better approach is to be humble and apologetic. You have to be able to take criticism in this business. Service may not be good all the time, its a learning experience on how to do better next time. Ill pass...
Reservation was not honored on time, management didnt care, wait staff was arguing with each other. Eat a snack before because the courses are spaced out by 25 minutes. The food was good when it finally came out.
This place is a hidden gem! The service was impeccable and the food was some of the best Italian we have had. Well managed clean place will definitely be back.
I enjoy going to Lellis and always get the tenderloin, mashed and veg. Never had a problem. Love the pasta. The meatballs are delicious and huge!I would recommend this restaurant.
My husband & I love Mark, he’s hosted so many events for us and always always hooks it up. I’m giving this place 5 stars because although I haven’t had the pleasure of going recently, I’m craving it so bad! We love Lellis! Will be coming back asap!
Ambience is packed with old world charm. From thoughtful greetings by the owners, Sinatra crooning in the background, friendly and competent wait staff and amazing food, Lelli’s Inn on the Green is my go to place.
Had an amazing experience. Staff was very attentive and personable, the food was outstanding from the first bite. the atmosphere extremely romantic. would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing experience.
Awesome experience! They treat you like royalty and the food is amazing. On top of that, we sat on the veranda overlooking the golf course during dinner
The perfect spot to celebrate in large groups or intimate twosomes. Bring your appetite. They are known for their steaks and chops but their classic italian entrees are wonderful too.
Oh my word a feast fit for a king. I was a guest for lunch today, we shared the Chateau Briand, I was amazed everything was delightful, delectable, right temperatureIt is an experience you have to go there. Service excellent, yum yum yum yum
Hey this restaurant has the best steaks in Michigan the service is out of this world . Then owner is a class act !!!! The staff customer services is head and shoulders above the completion they desserts are worth every bite go in and try it out !!!
This was my first time here and I was attending a seminar. The food was awesome as was the service.
Chef John is the finest chef in the area. Chef de cuisine at the Lark for many years. The curry duck salad and soft shell crab are outstanding selections as well as their signature chateaubriand with zip sauce are worth serious consideration.
More than customer oriented. Amazingly polite and well trained staff. The food impresses as well.
Wonderful old school Italian restaurant, best pasta sauce in town, excellent choice for a romantic night out. Leave room for dessert. The staff is superb.
Amazing restaurant! Ever since I went up to college the first thing I do when I come home is come to Lellis. Great Atmosphere. Amazing staff and owner! Love love love.
I really like the old school Italian deco, great patio, good steak, but you can forget about getting dressing on the side of your salad. I have to argue with my server everytime. So frustrating!
Service was good. food was overpriced for the quality. Its not that imaginative and definitely not worth the dollars.
Beautiful ambience and beyond perfectly cooked food! The server had an extremely personable and fun personality. I would definitely recommend this place!
Impeccable service. Amazing food. Classy restaurant in every feature.
Best place around to impress your business clients! Outstanding food, impeccable service, and unmatched attention to detail. The atmosphere is plush and cozy. Do yourself a favor and try the 7 course!
I’ve never been disappointed here! Tried lots of different menu options and frequent Lellies often. The service is second to none. Great environment. Keep it up guys!
Havent been here in sometime, but it was absolutely wonderful! Shoutout to Mr. Sandford who made our dining experience even better!
Resturant is amazing, they also have valet which is a much needed service for a aged person like me.
Excellent wine and food. Filet was great tender and tasty. Enjoy people! Carrot cake was awesome!
Love this place and love the food! Filet and zip sauce are awesome and so is the shrimp Lelli! I come here a lot to celebrate family occasions and it’s a great venue!
By far the worst, most unprofessional place to host an event at. Once you have made your reservations and paid your deposit, you will be ignored and have no idea what is going on for your event. Frances does not return your phone calls, instead she will have someone else give you the msg and the person delivering her msg is still unaware of what is going on. The people that answer the phones give you multiple excuses on why things are not organized and why you cannot get a hold of Frances. They say that they will have everything set up long before your event, but when I checked up on the room hours before, nothing was done. In fact, I ended up helping them set up. No matter how many times you tell them something they DONT LISTEN. Very very frustrating. Poor management. Save yourself the stress and headache and go elsewhere.
Great food, drink, and service every time Ive been there. Had a work luncheon last week and they didnt disappoint.
As soon as you walked we were greeted by Ari and treated like we were family. The food, service and experience blew our expectations! If you have ate here... you are missing out on the experience! See you soon!!!
Fantastic service food to serve quick a very prestigious environment staff was friendly shout out to ari you got a try it!
Giving one start because they’re very money hungry. Over charge looking to take more than they give and surprise fees. Very rude, will not accommodate and do not deserve a penny. In the least of words this is how I would describe them. Never again.
Pricey, but you wont get a similar experience anywhere else. This place is spunky. Lots of character. Service was somewhat slow/forgetful, but the staff was very busy (Valentines Day) and the rest of the vibe more than made up for it.
Had a great time as usual food is phenomenal and service is beyond, been going to lellis since a child and it only gets better.
Great ambiance and food! Recommend the veal and the filet. Service was great and the owner is attentive and makes you feel welcomed and important.
I was planning to take a group of 7-8 friends here... pictures looked nice.. just thought of reading the reviews... and man, am I disappointed in the responses by the owner to bad reviews... it just tells me what kind of an unprofessional bad person he is... decided to never go here.. Mr. owner, you have no idea how many good customers you are going to loose just because of how you are responding to peoples complaints.. such a waste of a nice place...
Food was good and plentiful. Definitely the old school steak house vibe. Cool Hitman Hearns memorabilia among others.
Fantastic food and a very intimate atmosphere. Lots of character and variety of seating. Worth the price, highly recommend.
We had a corporate event at Steven Lellis, and we had a fantastic time! It is the perfect venue for a holiday party, and the customer service was top notch!
I love everything about this place. I love the ambiance, I love the vibe, the staff, the magician, the food, the drinks! Great establishment. The most amazing food is served here.
I have eaten around the entire country if you want to know what the best fillet in the usa tastes like you have to eat here!!!!!
Awful!!!! Food was awful, waiter was awful and the beer was flat. The food portion was so small it didnt even feed my 4 year old, for a $50 steak! Never again!!!!! Ive seen better service at McDonalds!!! Better food too.
Food is delicious, atmosphere is wonderful, service is great! Another great meal at Lellis!
Visited Steven Lellis , the specials have way too many rules ... Only one bread basket , no sharing Strictly enforced ,really !! No remake of meals so if your meal has issues it is sold as is . Service was average , food portion s were smaller with specials
Best restaurant in town! Great for parties overlooking the golf course ☺️
I have to say food was really good here at lellis’sMy wife and I came in and was greeted by Selim, he’s the manager, my server lorenzo was excellent he made our dining experience outstanding!!
I love doing events here! Top notch service, exquisite food with a beautiful atmosphere and view! Mazel tov, to this lovely couple!
Slow service. Food arrived luke warm. Only saving grace was that the filet was perfectly seasoned and cooked properly.

2022-07-15Hands down my favorite place to eat a steak other than my backyard. I usually lean towards a dry aged ribeye.. BUT this place has a “Famous Broiled Filet Mignon” that just hits differently.. So good!
Review №2
2021-10-23Very delicious food, great service. Indoor or outdoor dining available. Make reservations or play a short course then dine in.

2021-02-13Truly one of the best dining experience I’ve had! Mark and his employees went out of their way to serve us. While calamari wasn’t on their menu, Mark made it possible to make it happen. We can’t thank Steven Lellis enough for making our Valentine’s Day weekend so special. We are so excited to be back!

2019-02-08This is a very romantic place. I love the crystal chandeliers, red velvet and leather upholstered furniture and the dim light setting. The bathrooms were so beautifully appointed as well. The service is excellent and the food is good.
Review №5
2018-12-18Steven Lellis Inn is an old-fashioned, classic Italian Restaurant Steak House. Dark walls and dramatic red velvet curtains, a bit dark, despite chandeliers.Attended a birthday party dinner there, although the food was good, service was rather slow(for such a large party, more than 1 server would have been more appropriate) and we were the only guests in the restaurant for the first hour or so.
Review №6
2018-04-26This restaurant is simple the best you can find. Their stake is always perfect, it doesnt matter if you order it raw or done, it always taste perfect. The service is always amazing. The mussels are not from this world, the palomino sauce is like my son says A party in my mouth, try the creme brulee if you have a chance. Amazing place and amazing people.

2021-02-15This place was on point when it comes to ambience!! Everything was fresh & but felt like the food could have gone a level up. All staff wore masks and there was no wait time. Our waiter was very polite, helpful & attentive.

2020-06-23Always a fantastic experience with upscale and comfortable decor. The food is outstanding, and the service excellent. We have tried several entrees, but keep coming back to the filet with zip sauce or filet & lobster tail. Although very pricey, we have never found a better lobster anywhere in the country.

2021-10-04Excellent food and great service. Very friendly and inviting staff. Warm, cozy and romantic atmosphere. Our waiter Rod was outstanding! The lamb chops, salmon, and key lime pie was amazing. My husband and I highly recommend this restaurant, and look forward to our next dining experience.

2021-09-25Great food, excellent service, beautiful ambiance. Special shout-out to Nick the bartender. Pic is sea bass piccata w mashed potatoes and fresh green beans.
