    10/10 great experience! Food was delicious and drinks were superb. We had a nice size dinner party and our host was fabulous, informative, and quite hospitable and attentive to our large party. The atmosphere was quaint and cozy. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

    Me along with friends/family have been to Lex several times. As you can see by the pictures the food looks amazing and tastes beyond amazing. Waiter was kind and cordial, always checking on us. It was a nice home environment where we were able to have a good time and have some fantastic food. Highly recommend this place for anytime of food outing. Great environment, fantastic food and gracious workers.

    Lex is one of our favorite restaurants in NYC. Eggplant Parmesan, Eggplant Rolatini, and the special Shrimp and Ricotta ravioli are to die for. We're mostly vegetarian but occasionally have their wonderful seafood. The salads are complex, fresh and delicious. The entire wait staff is friendly, attentive, and professional. Over the time we have come regularly, we have come to adore them. The ambiance is warm and inviting and sometimes we sit in their very comfortable and enjoyable outdoor dining area decorated with plants. Desserts are great -- the apple tart with ice cream, brownie with ice cream, and creme brulee are our favorites. You can't go wrong here!!
