Lefkes Estiatorio — Restaurant in Delray Beach

UNREAL!!! The staff and service are BEYOND hospitable and just purely genuine. Between Pete our incredible server who by the way is authentically Greek which was so cool! He was able to guide our dining experience with such ease and detailed attention. Highly recommend you request him as your server I know I will be!

The bartenders Babe and Christina (hope I spelled that correctly) were SO friendly, accommodating and efficient, absolutely adored them.

Mitch one of the managers and Alex were absolutely spectacular, checking in on the table, assisting when needed and bringing us special off menu items to try! Really made for such a unique experience.

I even had the opportunity to meet Craig the head chef!

We had tuna on crispy rice which was my absolute favorite a shrimp tempura roll the cucumber tomato salad The flaming cheese dip with the pita bread and lemon! My God I could eat my weight in that one! And the presentation was awesome they light it on fire at the table! the lamb chops still drooling over those which were seasoned and cooked to perfection the tzatziki was exquisite and we had two desserts that came highly recommended by both Mitch the manager and Pete our server the baklava which was so fresh and authentic best I’ve ever tried and this other cake with coconut flakes I can’t remember the name but it was delicious.

There was a DJ and the most amazing saxophone player that was walking through the restaurant while playing to the DJ’S music! It was SO SO good! The ambience there is so authentic and welcoming

At one point they even do the traditional Greek napkin twirling / throwing and the entire staff gets involved! So fun!

The music level is was also perfect not too loud not too low I was able to still have a conversation without struggling to hear which for me is huge.

You can tell the staff really enjoys being there and wants you for enjoy your time.

I will be back very very soon and look forward to trying more of their dishes! New favorite spot in...

We had an exceptional experience at Lefkes while celebrating Mother’s Day. The ambiance is stunning — refined yet inviting — making it an ideal setting for both special occasions and romantic date nights. The décor, lighting, and overall atmosphere create a sense of elegance that perfectly complements the elevated cuisine.

The food was outstanding. Each dish showcased a balance of authentic Greek flavors and modern culinary technique. The fish, in particular, was a standout — fresh, expertly prepared, and among the best we’ve ever had. The menu reflects a thoughtful approach to traditional Greek cuisine, executed with precision and care.

Service was truly impeccable. Our server — whose name we believe was Pete — provided one of the most professional and welcoming dining experiences we’ve had in South Florida. As a Greek native, his depth of knowledge about the menu was impressive, and he took the time to walk us through each item with genuine enthusiasm. Despite our unfamiliarity with certain dishes, he answered every question with warmth and without a hint of judgment. His approachability, professionalism, and attention to detail made a lasting impression. In a region where service can often feel transactional, his hospitality was refreshing and deeply appreciated.

Additionally, the manager — who mentioned he had come from the original Lefkes location — made a point to visit our table. His presence and engagement reflected a high standard of service and care for the guest experience. As a mixed-race family, we sincerely appreciated the respect and hospitality shown to us throughout the evening. It did not go unnoticed.

We will absolutely be returning. Lefkes stands out not only for its elevated cuisine and ambiance but also for its genuine and thoughtful service — a true gem in the South Florida...

The road less traveled should have come across my directions as a warning. Seated approximately 20 minutes prior to a server trying to upsell us bottled water before even bringing anything. Next, the server launched into an epic 7 minute history of his view on Italians vs Greeks and then the last minute inaccurately mentioned food choices.

It was approximately 75 minutes from seating until we got the first appetizers. Dinner was served at the 1 hour and 50 minutes mark. Throughout that time we wanted drinks but no server returned to our table for as long as 45 minutes and it became necessary to track the him down physically.

The consensus among six of us was the food was average to slightly above average depending on the dish and for what it was overpriced. As for the drinks, we only had one round as they did not come back to serve us.

After expressing my displeasure with the lack of service and lack of utensils when our food was served (I went to two empty tables to take silverware) the manager did offer a dessert. Unfortunately we were at the 2 hour and 10-minute Mark at that point and I did not have another hour to wait for a piece of cake.

Obviously from the reviews other people had much better experiences but ours was at or near the bottom of any restaurant I have been to.

In short, this chef should go someplace else where he/she has the wait staff and management to support him or her. If things do not change, the public will make that choice.

If you decide to go, I would strongly suggest you go one night first and just go to the bar and watch the service in the restaurant and see how long you...
