Lex Restaurant

I got here pretty late, about 50 minutes before they closed. I was worried that I might be turned away or could only ordered takeouts. Good thing they were nice and friendly enough to give me a table. I got a French onion soup and a 16oz porterhouse. The bread was nice and soft, and the olive oil they served was ... very nice quality. It was very fresh tasting and fruity. The French onion soup was very delicious. The sweetness from the caramelized onions and the savory flavor from the broth. The bread was soaked with broth and covered with cheese. It was simply delicious. The 16oz porterhouse was cooked median rare. It was very good. The meat was tender, and not too fatty. The fat around was very minimal. It was enough to enhance the flavor and not too much to be too greasy. The cause was wonderful! I don’t know what’s in it, but it was almost floral. The vegetables (string beans and carrots) and mashed potatoes were cooked to perfection. The vegetables still had a snap to it, but cooked. The mashed potatoes were creamy and fluffy. Overall, it was a great neighborhood restaurant. The seating was comfortable, and music was nice and soft. I saw that most customers were regulars and lived in the neighborhoods. So happy to discover another great restaurant in my neighborhood! Read More

This was a random find near where we visiting. The service was great. The staff was friendly. Most importantly, the food was really great! My mussels inmarinara sauce were delicious. Several folks in our party had large portions with leftovers to take home for lunch the next day. We are keeping this place on the ... list for a repeat visit. Read More

Incredible Italian food!!! I’ve lived on the upper east side for a decade and randomly ordered takeout from here a few months ago. My fiance and I were so impressed by the food that we’ve now been coming to the restaurant on a weekly basis. We’re obsessed. Everything on the menu is fabulous! Highly recommend

I’ve been going to Lex Restaurant since it opened and I love every dish I’ve had. Surprisingly this was the first time I had fettuccine Alfredo off the menu. It was the BEST I ever had and I’ve eaten this dish all over the City. My pal always orders off menu and he never has any problems doing so. This is our Best ... Neighbor place. The staff is the best, the ambience is relaxing. I’ve never been disappointed., Go and enjoy! Read More

A traditional Italian restaurant with excellent service and good food. We sat at the outdoor heated seating, which was very comfortable but have also previously dined indoors. The indoor decor is very cozy. The seafood risotto was excellent, and the veal piccata was tender and well marinated. We ordered the special ... dessert for the day (apple crumble pie with ice cream) and the warm chocolate brownie with ice cream. Both desserts were super yummy. Read More
