London Lennie's

My husband and I celebrated our wedding at London Lennie’s and I think it was the best decision. The whole staff welcomed us in a lovely way, and Amanda, our server, really shared our happiness. Her empathy, enthusiasm and kindness made our day one of the most memorable of our lives. And the food… delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. 🥂👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻🍝

London Lennie's in Queens is a seafood lover's paradise! Last Friday night, my husband and I indulged in a delicious dinner and were not disappointed. The oysters were fresh and briny, the lobster fried to perfection, and the tower combo was a feast for the senses. While the price tag was a bit steep (we spent over $280 for two people), it was well worth it for the quality and authenticity of the food. If you're looking for a truly exceptional seafood experience, London Lennie's is definitely worth a visit.

This place is known for seafood, so came with a buddy that has been here numerous times to try it out. I had the restaurant week dinner special, and we ordered some oysters and crab claws as appetizers. The oysters were delicious, and the main dishes were good overall. The pace of the dining experience, however, was slow paced, and by the time we were done, we spent over 2 and a half hours inside the restaurant.

As you walk in the atmosphere is classy. Fairly busy with a few birthdays. The food was excellent, I ordered restaurant week with a small side place of dumplings. Man every meal was good. They blended the flavors in such a way as to be curious of the other plates. Then dumplings are still in my brain.

Came in today for happy hour and couldn't believe the deals. They had multiple varieties of fresh, delicious oysters for around 2 a piece which they shucked right in front of me at the bar. The mignonette dressing was lovely. You really can't beat $2 high quality oysters and $4 beers. Love that it's family owned with a very old school NYC vibe. Beautiful dining room and the owner was going around checking on people which is always nice. The female bartender tonight (forgot her name) and Jose were so kind, helpful, and made great recommendations. Both very knowledgeable about the offerings. I'll certainly be back many, many times

I've been here to celebrate my mother in law birthday. And we had such a good time and very good food and fresh. Taka looks at the pictures.

Great food, wonderful experience but yes, it's very overpriced. We spent a little over $360 for 2. We mainly went for the king crab because of an IG post we'd seen but they'd neglected to mention it'd cost $85/lb. We were not about to pay over $450 for a king crab. Absolutely ridiculous! However, everything else we ate was delightful, especially the baked clams...a must.

I visited this restaurant during the NY restaurantweek and got a chance to try an amazing 3 courses dinner for 45$! A bit extra pay for the lobster ,but it worth it! So good, delicious,the lady waitress was amazing and professional! High quality spot,will come back!

Me encantó. La comida deliciosa, el ambiente muy agradable y elegante, la comida exquisita y aunque su especialidad son los mariscos, tuvieron la paciencia de acomodarme un plato vegano sabroso. ¡Espero Regresar Pronto!

By now this place should have a solid 5 stars. Not sure why it hasn't got that yet. But im literally writing this as im eating and i can tell you the space is great. Amazing table spacing. Good AC good lighting i can see what im eating ( that always a plus) So far iv had the clam chowder A1 Shrimp & crab dumplings A1 Baked clams A1 ( that bread is crusted to perfection n clams aren't tough or chewy) Surf n turf was ok. The mignon was a little dry but some how still soft n not chewy. Also our waiter Dwight Schrute is pretty funny. Through it all. This place is a banger

Service was dutiful and the seats were cushioned and comfy. Lighting was a bit dark and the music was relatively low volume and the crooning not overwhelming. I could hear and be heard. They brought us like three loaves of home made bread that was delicious. I couldn't stop eating the bread--OMG. The baked clams were delicious, albeit a little rubbery. The calamari was a little on the small size. They had the rosette which means they were not fake calamari (pork anus)--but they were the real thing!! They were seasoned fabulously and generously. The red sauce was tasty! The filet was ok. Not great but not bad. Insufficiently spiced not very tender and a bit deficient in flavor. I added some additional table salt and pepper and it really made a difference in a good sauce way Overall about average. I could explain why but I'm just a bit too tired.

Wed nite went to London Lennie's on Woodhaven Blvd. On a summer evening it was great to try the Rosé Sangria. Tasty and refreshing. All night HAPPY HOUR on Wed evenings. The raw bar was looking good! I had a dozen little neck clams. So good! The lovely Kristen was on the ball, as always, serving the entire bar plus whipping up drinks! Always a pleasure to return to our own neighborhood restaurant.

London Lennie's has the freshest seafood in Queens! The raw bar, sushi and fish are excellent and the service is classy. I loved the crispy sushi rice spicy tuna and the soft shell crab spider roll. Excellent cocktails and wines too. You can eat at the buzzy bar or in the elegant dining room. Check out London Lennies!

I came here on a Wednesday on the Happiest Hour after work. The bar area was definitely busy and popping. I walked straight to the bar area because there was no host or hostess in the front when I arrived. The server asked if I had checked in with the hostess, and I said "no" because there was no one in the front, so I just sat down. I apologized because I didn't know, and the server accommodated me. I ordered the sangria that was watered down from the description provided, but at the same time, I was glad since I had a baby to go home to and work the next day. I ordered 6 oysters and 6 little neck clams. The top neck clams were already sold out. Both items hit the spot. Since I still had sangria left and was avoiding a buzz, I ordered the Mussels. These mussels were awesome. I enjoyed the broth, and I requested bread to dip and soak up all the liquid goodness. Great place for all night happy hour on a Wednesday night. I'm definitely returning because they are offering a 3 course prix fixe Tuesday - Thursday night.

We Arrived right after it opened. We were quickly seated by the bar/lounge section (came for happy hour specials). The restaurant was spacious and clean. Our server was friendly and welcoming. Service was excellent. Super attentive. We ordered oysters and clams for the start. The portion of the crab cake was small but very delicious. The drinks were on point. Definitely will return

My husband and I celebrated our wedding at London Lennie's and I think it was the best decision. The whole staff welcomed us in a lovely way, and Amanda, our server, really shared our happiness. Her empathy, enthusiasm and kindness made our day one of the most memorable of our lives. And the food... delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. ‍

Throughout the years Lennies has been our celebration place. Oyster clam the raw bar appetizer and salmon for me and steak for my loverboy. Service is on point and the nostalgic decor reminds me of a classic steak place from time gone by.

Came here for a late lunch. The place was pretty empty. It definitely holds space for a large crowds. I had the stuffed shrimp with crabmeat. It was jumbo shrimp and crabmeat and it was meaty and fresh and covered in a butter sauce. It came with side of veggies. I had the lobster Mac and cheese which had lobster church throughout, but something was missing flavor wise. My friend enjoyed the clam Chowder. We both enjoyed the shrimp and crab dumplings they were delicious. Dessert was okay definetly nothing to write home about I had the cheesecake my friend had the key lime pie. He liked it overal.

I had a great time! The Ambiance was nice. I had a delicious birthday dinner. The service was thoughtful and quick !

Went here for restaurant week, and it was absolutely amazing. The gentleman that worked our table was such a jolly guy. Attentive and cracked jokes with us. We thought it would be like any other mom and pop diner quality food, but this is on another level! The thai style mussels are very flavorful and served more like a main than an appetizer quantity wise. Oysters were to die for. Could have passed on the clam chowder as it was nothing special. I got the monkfish risotto, which was initially very tasty, cooked well, but the gravy overpowered everything and left my mouth dry from all the salt. The star of the day had to be the fish and chips. Nicely seasoned and very juicy, melty. My friends and I had such a good time here. Just knocked down one star cuz the busboys(?) Were unfocused and seemed confused, even bringing our food to the wrong table a few times.

As a yelp elite member I analyze everything from making my reservations to entering the establishment. Let's just say IG and TikTok will definitely draw your attention to a number of restaurants based off of reels, photos, and comments. This was definitely a restaurant that I would drive by when heading home and say I always wanted to go to that restaurant. Well....... I was final able to go so I made a reservation which went smooth and as I arrived I was greeted with valet service which was excellent since it was extremely cold outside 27 degrees to be exact. So they definitely get a for offering this service. Upon entry it gave me the family style environment which I love. We were seated and our waitress came over and introduced herself "Nicole" and proceeded to take our drink order and then our food order. Appetizers we enjoyed - the house bread and a Caesar salad which was good . We all got our drinks and unfortunately I did not like the after taste that the sweet tea was giving so I requested for another drink. The entrees started to come out and everyone received their food but me which was interesting as my order was probably the easiest of all three. 2 burger meals, shrimp linguine and my meal pan seared scallops. For my order, she came back twice to confirm how I wanted them prepared. (Should have felt it was not going to be right at that point) but hey you want to make sure the customers order is correct so I understand. My family started eating of course we were all hungry and my dish still was not out as of yet. I could sense my mates anger as he's not enjoying his food because my food is not there. A while goes by then our waitress shows back up and my husband states her food is still not out!!!! She comes back and states that the kitchen was baked up and they are working on my order now. At times it's best just to apologize and state the order was not put in and they are putting a rush on the order. Well my food finally comes out as the gentleman place down my plate he stressed please don't touch the plate it's very hot. So I'm like great my food will be nice and fresh as they took forever to bring it out. What was interesting is that my plate was hot but my scallops were lukewarm okay now I'm at the point where I'm hungry so let me just eat my food and head home. The waitress returns to see how things were going but at that point I had already started eating and just didn't feel like complaining yet again and then having to waiting yet again for fresh food. So, my mate decides to express that the food was not hot and the plate was hot and the line men in the kitchen was not working up to par. She definitely sensed his frustration and instead of showing compassion and possibly sharing this with her manager she states "well if you would have told me before eating then I would have taken it back and got you a new one" at this point I'm upset inside just from her comment and watching her demeanor change that I just wanted my check and to leave. The busboy came over to clean the table and then she came back over and said is that all for you guys? So, at first I was going to say "No - how about you ask if I want dessert" but we said we're good. Then she walked back over and said would you like dessert? I then took a deep breath but based on my experience thus far I declined. Yes, I really wanted the key lime pie but based on my overall experience I passed. Long story short a family night dinner that did not go as planned and would I try this restaurant again? Absolutely NOT nor would I recommend.

One of my buddies who moved back to NY after spending a few years in California. He was originally looking for an oyster place. He mentioned LL to me and I told it was a staple for me for years. I had not been back there since the pandemic. The reason was because they stopped opening for lunch. Finally understood why tonight. Staffing like most businesses has been the culprit. Only a few loyal workers remained. Still having problems with workers until now. One of the workers who has been there for almost all her life, Kristen, who wonderfully runs the bar especially on Wednesday Happy Hour All Night, is still there, along with her friendliness, her quick wit and her excellent service! The 3 of us buddies showed up and we almost were not able to find room at the bar because there place was packed. Luckily a couple of people were about to leave when we were hanging around the bar. After this, the meal started!! My buddy wanted me to try everything from the Happy Hour menu. Yes, he was on point. 1st started with oysters and top neck clams. You can actually watch them shuck the oysters at the bar. We ordered mussels, garlic bread, shrimps, pot stickers (gyoza), sirloin steak, fries, baked clams, bread pudding and Guiness!!! The entire night was filled with laughter and amusement. We even spoke to the owner for quite a length of time and totally understood his viewpoint! Amazing what you truly learn when you understand the why!

Haven't been to Howard Beach in a few years was picking up someone at JFK and had time for a nice lunch and your establishment came to mind. WS in the mood for some baked clams. Love the family service here when dining at this establishment they are very attentive. The clam chowder so tasty and bursting with favor. Calamari was so fresh the best I ever had. Ambiance is old Italian and I loved it.

I just went last week with a few friends to their oyster happy hour and I have to admit, it was amazing! I think the oyster happy hour was such a good deal, it was cheap but you tender to over order so it actually adds up but definitely felt it is worth the visit. The happy hour is Tues- Fri from 4pm-6pm, Sat 2pm-4pm and Wed all day. The happy hour was in their oyster lounge which was next to the bar so expect table top seating or a smaller booth. The happy hour was first come first serve and all in the party have to be there to get a table. The HH is $1 on both top and little neck clams, half off oysters and discounts on apps and drink. The food: Littleneck or Topneck Clams- Chilled, Shucked, House Cocktail Sauce, Lemon. I am an oyster person but I was shocked how much I enjoyed the clams. The clams do still have a "sea funk" but the freshness and texture of the clam was wonderful. Between the two, while I enjoyed both, I think I enjoy the littleneck a tad more, it is smaller but sweeter and a little more tender. The topneck were meatier but not as tender, the topnecks are good for the size of meat that comes out of the shell. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=0IeUZYEXbmqkSTUAJEcIZA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Maine Mussels Provencal- White wine, shallots, garlic, parsley, butter, toasted baguette. This dish really surprised me how much I liked it. I liked cooked mussels in general but I didn't have high expectations for a happy hour dish. Wow these were amazing! The mussels were not the biggest in size but they were so plump and succulent. The flavor and texture were great, this was so good we ordered a second order. Also, it was only $11, $11 well spent. The only thing I didn't care for, I didn't like the toasted baguette, I thought it was weird to add a toasted baguette on top of the mussels then add a bowl on top. The baguette become oddly soggy and chewy which kinda bugged me. Conway Royal- This oyster was part of the happy hour and they are from Canada, I never heard of these before but wow were they good. I thought it had a nice salinity and a nice meaty texture. I would definitely get these again. Oyster happy hour for these were $1.85 each Blue Point- These I like to call beginner oysters, they were good but really only good if you are new to oysters, the Conway Royal all the way. St. Joe's Garlic Bread- Garlic butter, parsley, Romano Cheese. Ugh I love garlic bread and I really wanted to love this one but this was just OK. In terms of flavor, the flavor was nice but the part I hated was what happens after the bite. I took my bite and it felt like I bit into a balloon filled with oil. As I was chewing, the look on my face said it all. Wow that's so much oil or maybe it was butter but my god it was so intense. Peel and Eat "Old Bay" Shrimp- 1/2 pound in the shell, beer poached. These were not good. I liked the size of the shrimp but the shrimp tasted like nothing, the broth was bad, and the previously frozen shrimp was a mission to deshell. I would skip this dish like the plague. Bees Knees- I don't normally make comments on drinks but I thought the bees knees was great, it was lemony with a bit of sourness, it went nicely with our food and it was only $9.

I have been eating at London Lennies almost my whole life. Excellent seafood and service. LL is a large restaurant so generally there is not a wait for a table. I've also purchased salmon for home. Everyone is so friendly at this establishment. I give LLs 5 stars, my highest recommendation. Ron

Most of the food seems fresh except the lobster roll, which was rubbery, and salty fries. The clam chowder, raw oysters, Provençal mussels, and branzino fish were a hit. The fish and chips was tasty except the portions of fries overwhelmed the thin piece of meat. The bread was stale, the lobster pasta at least had some chunks of meat, and truffle fries were too stringy to taste the oils. Their coke slaw is good with a bit of a spicy kick from raw onions or pepper. Service is hit or miss with having to repeat myself multiple times and the wait staff either taking away food without asking before we're done eating and not remember to provide enough take-out boxes along with the bill. The ambiance is nice and cozy with decent lighting. Parking is tough on the street, but they offer valet service.

Excellent food and service!! Ambiance and decor made for a nice evening out with friends and family gathering !!

The service was quick and the servers were superb. The servers always come to you when you need it even though it was a little expensive restaurant a good restaurant so the food was like really good. Everyone loved it five stars. The servers were willing to talk to us and that's what made it excellent! 5 Super cooks‍ Trying to Make the best of your meal Actually good food Really fast service Servers willing to help and talk to the customers Overall Really Good Restaurant. I Do Recommend London Lennies. ‍‍‍ There were really cool decor. they even let us pet a lobster super fun and good.

Great food. Wonderful service. Pleasant atmosphere for talking. Classic, white tablecloths.

This is a Woodhaven Blvd, Rego Park landmark. It has stood the test of time because of quality and greatness Everything was great. The raw oysters and clams are a must. The infamous baked clams is a must. The Halibut is a healthy tasty option Great IPA available for the craft lovers I would do it all over again

The young waiter was very nice. The jumbo fried shrimp was very good but the linguine with clam sauce was no different from a local pizzeria dish.

Been coming here for years and the place always delivers. First you have the best bartender in the city. Jose is second to none; let the competition begin. Perfect pours and the martini refill in the stainless shaker is so classy. Never rushed. My wife and I generally split an entree and wedge salad appetizer & finish it off with the perfectly balanced rice pudding. Again, I implore anyone to find better rice pudding anywhere. Special occasions or just a value night out.

Absolutely incredible, fresh food. Service is awesome. Prices are very Parking was super easy in/out. I highly recommend this family friendly place!!

Great spot for happy hour during the week or all day on Wednesday. They have a wonderful selection of cocktails or beer on the happy hour menu. Great variety of oysters from different regions and 2 types of clams. All were super fresh briney and delicious. Highly recommend. Go for the bees knees cocktail and for entrees the lobster tail was great, fish and chips, and happy hour items with the pork sliders. The swordfish is another go to as a entree with a great southern spice. Great area establishment with good service. We'll be back.

I came here with my parents and my boyfriend for dinner after receiving many recommendations to try this place. The decor itself is a bit outdated but since it has been around for so long, I understand for not upgrading it. The service was actually amazing; I had read previous reviews that the service wasn't that good but I didn't have that experience at all. She was very attentive and cleared our plates quickly. As appetizers, we ordered fried calamari and baked clams. The fried calamari was crunchy and perfectly seasoned. The marina sauce was one of the best sauce I have ever tried. Their baked clams was out of this world; the lemon garlic sauce was heavenly and paired so well with the clams. The clams had the most perfect amount of breading and the clams were baked to perfection. I ordered a lychee martini and it was super tasty and strong. As my entree, I ordered their linguini white clam sauce. The clams were not overcooked, the white sauce was light and the linguini was al dente. For dessert we had their bread pudding and key lime pie. The pie was tart and sweet; the bread pudding was warm and paired so well with the vanilla ice cream it came with. The prices are a little high so be prepared to pay around $50-60 per person. Parking around here is very difficult but they do offer valet parking. Will be returning.

Food was great. I got seated at the time of my reservation and service was consistent throughout the evening. The ambiance felt warm will def be returning and will be catching a happy hour there as well.

Good lobster and service. We go on special occasions. Seafood Tower is the best! Returned again and still excellent!

Wish I took picture of my $32 Salmon. Very small piece of fish. One fingerling potato cut in four pieces plus some carrots and green beans. Plus the floor was very dirty. Has not seen a mop in a while. This is why I don't go out to eat.

Worst dinner ever. Fish was dry, veggies were cold, drinks weren't made correctly. Took forever to get waited on. Waiter spilled water all over us. The place was freezing. The "warm from the oven" cake was straight from the fridge. This used to be such a great place. What happened? The only nice thing was the Christmas Tree, which was still up.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal Service was perfect. Ambiance was idea to relax. Prices were higher than I remembered but so is everything else.

My first time trying this restaurant was an amazing experience. I came here on a Saturday evening with my girlfriend and her parents. Our server very politely took our drinks and appetizer orders. I ordered the Fall Olde-Fashioned (which was very well prepared), and we all shared the Fried Calamari and Lennie's Famous Baked Clams. Shortly after we finished our appetizers, our server came back, and took our entrée orders. I ordered the Seared Faroe Island Salmon which was absolutely delicious (I was taking small bites because I didn't want to finish it). For dessert I indulged in the Traditional Key Lime Pie. I seriously have to say it was the best Key Lime Pie I've ever tried. I almost ordered a second one. Aside from the the delicious meal, the Restaurant itself has a nice ambiance, the decor is a bit outdated but I personally liked it. It gives it that old school NY dinning touch. They say first impressions last. And I will definitely come back!

Went during restaurant week. $45 lunch or dinner. The only choice was wanted was the soft shell crab. Excellent sauce. (Sautéed) not overbearing and not swimming in sauce. They were just puny sized. Appetizer for me was muscles which was a fantastic portion and also deliciously tasty. I don't care for the bread put down on the table Desert choices were very nice. Amazing key lime pie. Good service provided by staff who have been there for ages.

As usual thoroughly enjoyed our recent Sunday dinner.Lennies continues to be the go to for fresh,well prepared seafood.

Disclaimer: Happy Hour Review Cuisine: 6 Service: 7 Decor: 7 Value: 6 Overall: 6 There aren't that many options for an old school American style seafood restaurant in Queens. Most of them are ethnic or Cajun boils. Off the top of my head, there's Reef in Forest Hills, and this long standing palace of the sea that I have been going to for decades. Honestly, I don't come here for a full meal nowadays very often since there are lots of better seafood options in other boroughs. However, when I'm in a sudden mood for some raw oysters or clams, I will hit up London Lennies during happy hour (Weds all day, other days 4-6pm). What use to be $1 oysters is now gone during the pandemic, instead you will have 1/2 price oysters from a few different selections. Still a pretty good deal since they are extremely fresh and delicious. $1 for topneck or littleneck clams are also a bargain. If you plan to grab a drink and have some raw bar items, then I would say that this is a fantastic spot with friendly, albeit sometimes forgetful service. A word of caution is not to be suckered in by their other HH specials. Truthfully, I have tried them all at some point and nothing stands out. On my most recent visit, two of us had the Peel & Eat "Old Bay" Shrimps, which was dreadful. Talk about bland and tasteless, where is the Old Bay? Or even salt? Maine Mussels Provencal was okay, though they were slightly overcooked. Best part of the dish was dipping the bread into the sauce. Lastly, we ordered a Truffle Caesar off the regular menu and felt very underwhelmed as well. In the future, I will continue to come her for the raw bar during HH. Unfortunately, other than a drink, I doubt I'll be ordering anything else from the HH menu.

Ambiance was A1. Nice, strong presentation of a restaurant. Gave me modern prohibition vibes. The valet gentleman was a pleasure to deal with. That was where everything goes downhill. Mom and son ordered burgers. I order shrimp linguine. Wife ordered pan fried scallops. All the meals came out except the scallops. Our waitress Nicole took the orders but the runner brought the food out. I assumed he was going to return, thinking his pallet couldn't hold all the entrees. He didn't return and couldn't get Nicole's attention for about 7 minutes or so. I couldn't enjoy my food in the meantime. We got her attention, she says scallops should have came out with the rest of order and goes back to check. She comes back and literally says the kitchen is backed up. Really, for pan fried scallops? I felt like my intelligence was getting tested. Give her the benefit of the doubt, another 7-8 minutes pass and scallops come out. So now it's been about 15 minutes difference between the initial entrees and the scallops. The scallops come and the plate is super hot but scallop lukewarm. Anybody with any sense knows they threw the plate with the scallops under the heat and warmed the otherwise forgotten entree. Wife at this point is just hungry and wanted to eat. I did bring it up to the waitress and she really told me the plates are sometimes stored under the heat, ok but not the oven heat. SMH. She made no attempt to make amends but she did say we should hv told her before. You keep disappearing!! So what now my wife will be eating 30 minutes behind everybody? Ridiculous. At this point, we lost the service with a smile and she became pretty dry. There was no loudness involved in anyway, I mean my daughter is probably her age so I know how it goes. I told her the line cooks, the food runner or her taking 8 minutes after initial food serving to check on the table was the problem or combination of two and there was a breakdown in procedures. She made no attempt to smooth situation over, wasn't looking for a refund because we ate the scallops. At the very least sorry for all the confusion, may I ask my manager if I can grant yall a complimentary dessert, at the very least. They really need to do better at customer complaint resolution skills, just lack of initiative. Took pics but definitely not posting any.

Wonderful food and it was a real neighborhood fave of ours. Was. But the way we were treated on our last visit is unforgivable. It was my fiance's birthday, with reservations made well in advance. We showed up on time and they tried to stick us at one of the worst tables, a drafty one right by the front door on a very cold night. So we had to wait for an acceptable table, had a good meal but upon getting our birthday dessert, were told we had to rush and leave the table because they needed it. Absolutely unacceptable and we haven't been back since.

We live in Manhattan and it's worth the drive... and they have valet. Great service, large menu and they offer Restaurant Week selections. The seafood is as fresh as could be. The order for my seared scallops was extremely fresh and plentiful, not something I can say when ordering the same in Manhattan. It's an old-fashioned place in decor with a large bar. I'm sure 90% of patrons are from the neighborhood. I'll be back and highly recommend.

For a long time neighborhood staple, my experience was a bit disappointing. Nothing was catastrophically wrong, but nothing was great. I don't see myself returning. The service was slow, stretched thin, and not very attentive. Food was ok, just ok. The prices charged make it a poor value IMO. I don't see the hype in this place

First things first.....the food was soooooooo disappointing. No flavor what's so ever. Second the service was decent our waitress was friendly and funny, but the speed of service for our food was slow. Third, the decor was nice, it gave an old school good fellas vibe which we loved. The food for the lack of flavor was very over priced. I had the churrasco steak, it wasn't cooked the way I wanted, the chimmi sauce was just vinegar and oil, heart breaking, my wife had filet lemon sole, the fish was dry, no lemon sauce to go with the fish, again noooooo flavor. Overall I do not recommend spending money on flavorless food, you would be better off going to city island.

Amazing! Service wasn't the greatest but that was the best oysters and clams I've ever had

Staff is great. Nice decor for Christmas. Happy hour is a bit misleading. How do you sell sliders and give me one tiny burger? Fries were good. Generally a nice place to go, but a bit on the pricey side. Didn't apply to us, but $8 if you share your plate? Lol. Come on.

Very disappointed at this restaurant, serving old lettuce and uncooked LOBSTER(I ordered the Lobster Sandwich) it was a disaster! Not a good place to go get a bite! You don't served food like that not even to your worse enemy.... and not to mention the cockroach that came by to say hi! But I just did mentioned, sorry ‍

Great staff, fresh, delicious, and can't get enough! It's been years and I wasn't disappointed. The ambiance is what keeps you going back. A NY - Queens gem.

It was extremely disappointing, I went there with my family for my birthday dinner unfortunately, both my husband and I got extremely sick due to what we believe was bad shrimp, and probably spent more time in the bathroom than at the table - for sure food poisoning. my daughters did not have shrimp, enjoyed the fresh crab which I will agree was excellent. The steak had no flavor and the Caesar salad was extremely dry for a bill that was over $700. We will NOT go back.

I came here with my ex and it's your typical old school Long Island resto. It's friendly has good food for this kind of palate and the place is fun. I can't rave about it or rage against. It's food. Once I left my phone there and was returned. They are honest

Love this restaurants food, Service, Bar and options are great. It reminds me of seafood restaurants in Sheepshead Bay years ago. i travel a ways to get London Lennie and never disappointed!

I was there New Years Eve 2023 and the food , service snd ambience was great, except the French fries. They were shoestring fries that were just horrible, thin as a thread and oily and greasy.I've had better decent fries at my local diner. A beautiful restaurant such as this should serve quality steak fries or nice normal size fries with the burger entree. I hope the manager will change the fries soon. I wouldn't be surprised if other diners felt the same way.
