From entering the restaurant, you immediately feel welcomed and like family. The food is creative and flavorful. Each dish was better than the previous one. Sharing is encouraged with your party. 10/10 and I will be back.

After seeing it was named top 20 restaurants by Bon Appetit this year, I had to make it out to Lenox! I think the only criticism I have is that the mofongo was a tad bit salty, but it and everything else was seriously amazing. I’m dreaming of the pastelillos as I write this. The service was also so great and so welcoming. I recommend you try this place at least once!

A must visit for me. From the drinks to the service to all the dishes. Amazing. Can't go wrong.

Vibe and service was great. Made a reservation for 3 and quickly got sat down. Besides that, there was no line before or after we got there.

Drinks: can't go wrong with any of them. Lots of flavor and complexity (I tried some of the gin drinks and were very nicely done, especially for someone who is not into gin). They did take a bit of time for the dishes to arrive and they preemptively compted the drinks without us asking for it. 10/10 service right there.

For the food, go family style. Every dish was exquisite. The lechón had to be my favorite along with the pastelillos. Great crunch with the lechón.

The tres leches dessert had a homemade jam and whip cream on top that was just top notch. Almost ordered a second serving for how good it is.

For a group of 3, order ~5 dishes total.

Went here for a friend's birthday brunch. Had high hopes due to the high ratings. Our waitress was Minorka. I ordered a salad with no bacon. I mentioned no bacon twice. When they brought it out, Minorka said salad with no bacon. I found bacon in my salad so let Minorka know. She took it back then brought it back out and asked if I wanted them to make me a new one... I said yes because why would I want to spend time picking out something I specifically asked for not be put in? She brought me a new salad and it looked fantastic. I took a bite and it was extremely salty. A friend tried it as well because I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me. She immediately spit it out and got up to tell the waitress. I did not ask for another. A woman I assume is the manager came out and apologized and left the check minus the service charge & salad. No one came for the card payment for 10 min so we got up to pay up front. Minorka finally came out and asked if she could help us. My friend said we need to pay. She reluctantly helped us close out. Terrible service, terrible food. Menu is limited and it was not busy so unclear why this experience was so awful. The manager was the only bright spot as she seemed genuinely apologetic.

Unfortunately, had high hopes for this place and would not recommend to anyone nor come back. From repeated mistakes on one salad, lack of flavor for my dish (tasted like it was made with ketchup & threw most of it away), and the disrespectful server from the moment we stepped into the restaurant. Very disappointing. The only positive was the kindness of the manager. You know a restaurant knows they messed up when the manager comes over to apologize and admit the mistakes. Ambience was nice but not worth coming back.

Went here to celebrate a friend’s birthday and had a bad experience. My friend order salad without bacon and there was bacon after she repeatedly had asked for no bacon. The waitress(named Minorka) wasn’t much help when trying to fix it, there was another lady with dark hair and glasses that was kind enough to help us bring out another one, just to find out the chef had messed up the second salad by putting an unnecessary amount of salt(all you could taste in this salad was salt). I was super upset about the order being wrong…. Not once but twice. I told the nice lady and she went to the back and tried it and agreed that the salad was super salty. After wanting to leave and trying to pay for the rest of the food and having to wait 10 minutes, the first server(Minorka) was still giving us attitude. Do not recommend this place, it definitely ruined our friends birthday brunch. Will not be coming back.

I had a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor.

I would also like to extend my sincere compliments to our server, whose professionalism and warmth elevated the entire experience. She was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and ensured that every aspect of our visit was seamless.

Thank you to the entire Lenox team and especially to Minorka for providing such exceptional service and hospitality. I look forward to returning soon.

Personally this food is not what they claim. It doesn’t even come close.
I am Afro Caribbean and this food is some sort of fusion but to say it’s Afro Latino food is beyond me.
If you’re from any of the Latin island of the Caribbean you will be let down in a big way.

On another note why are the customer being burdened with 20% gratuity (10% for the back house and 10% for the front claiming it for the workers to have health insurance????? Really?) they also did not mention it. I noticed when I went to pay.
When I brought it up the server some how told me she forgot to mention this but still was fishing for a tip on top of the gratuity.
I came in with my wife and ended up with a $200 dollar bill and very unhappy with the food.
I have experience in the food industry at 3/4 star restaurants and this baffled me.
Service was good but the rest over shadowed
The experience.
