Eating at Lefty's was a great experience. The food and service were phenomenal, and the atmosphere there is great. Will definitely be back here.
The main courses were great. The stuffed snapper was excellent —- the white wine butter sauce was delicately seasoned and not overpowering. The shrimp scampi was very good too. The bread & baked potato were just meh. Service was excellent.
