Steven Lelli's Inn On the Green

Absolutely beautiful establishment. Extremely friendly and attentive staff. The food and drinks were very well made and so delicious!! Our first time there, but definitely will not be our last.

The menu is quite a rip off. $85 for a 20 ounce ribeye steak for example. Everything is high in price. The menu options are somewhat varied. The restaurant feels a little bit tight, but the service feels genuine and there are people going around making sure that you’re happy, even though my Server neglected to give him my water with no ice. The food however need some improvement. Some of the portion salty. The beef tenderloin tips were not so tender. The alcohol was also a bit watered down. I personally would not go back

I loved Lelli's when they were in Detroit. We were celebrating our loved ones Graduating and moving away. The decor was Elegant beautiful marble tables and bar area, although the Christmas lights in the bar area was a bit gaudy but I digress. The wait staff looked so handsome in tuxedo. I had white fish with potatoes and string beans others had heaps of pasta dishes with huge meatballs on top lol. We cake topped with sparklers for dessert. A lovely time was had at Lelli's Inn.

What a dining experience! I had called to reserve a table on a Monday for my birthday celebration and was told they were closed. Then the person I spoke with remembered they had an event going on that day so he would be able to squeeze us in at 6pm. We had the entire restaurant to ourselves as the other party was seated on the patio. The service was great, the staff was extremely professional, personable and on top of everything. We ordered the chateaubriand and it was to die for. The quality of the meat was absolutely amazing and everything was perfect. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the carrots on the plate. This is my taste only so I'm sure others may find them delicious but they were dressed with some sort of clove dressing and it just wasn't my favorite. Loved the potatoes and spinach though! We ordered the calamari appetizer and it was really good as well! I ordered the pomegranate mojito but I found it to be too sweet for my liking and the taste of mind wasn't very much present. Again, this is just my taste, I'm sure others may find it perfect! I absolutely recommend this place! Thank you staff for making my 30th so special!

The service was impeccable! The chicken parm was delicious, our strawberry lemon drops were to die for. The calamari was great and my dad had chicken Alfredo that was magnificent. I will be back to try more of the menu.

I will say overall I really enjoyed this restaurant. We had a reservation and was sat immediately. They even were okay with us sitting at a larger booth because we like to sample an assortment of foods. Our waiter was the only negative in our experience. He did not seem too enthused with us, I don't know if this is his normal disposition or if he had an off night. The foods we tried were delicious including the bread! The ribeye was slightly too fatty but was prepared just the way I like it, medium rare. The Alfredo was unique, very garlic forward which I enjoyed. I believe it was the owner or maybe the manager who came to our table as well, he was very warm and welcoming. Would definitely recommend everyone try this place out!

Great food, great service the Chilean sea bass was delicious 😋🤤 very nice place just which it had live music, with my drinks

Not what it used to be. Steak was flavorless and semi-tough. Sea bass was good (not great), yet overpriced ($90). Wait staff CONTINUALLY inquired about our reason for dining out ("Is it a special occasion? Someone's birthday?"), even though we repeatedly answered that we were just celebrating friendship. It started to seem awkward and pushy, like they wanted to sell us a cake or bottle of champagne. This was especially difficult to manage with a member of our party is in the early stages of cognitive decline. The insistence of the wait staff began causing confusion. The total bill came to $500 for four people, no alcohol, with a couple of desserts. Add the 20% tip, and that's $150 per person. Perhaps the entryway filled with private wine lockers labeled with the owners' names could have been our chance to evaluate the situation and go elsewhere. This is an overpriced imposter of what a true 'fancy' dining experience should be, riding out a rich legacy, coasting through on name-dropping and table-side hawking to pad the bill. Lelli's is not what I remember it to be. After decades of visiting Lelli's in various locations, we all agreed this would be our last. ***Update*** In response to Lelli's answer to my review, I will include the following: After asking about the Sea Bass on the menu (listed price around $62), we were told it was one of the daily specials. Two of us ordered that. Yet, when our bill arrived, we were charged $90 for each of those dinners, not including side dishes. When we asked for the desert to be sent back to be warmed, we were met with resistance and told that it was 'supposed to be a warm/cold combo'. Understood, however, there was no 'warm' to it. If your defense to our experience is that we should have been more assertive, then perhaps you're missing the points made. I don't wish to be on my guard during an elegant evening of dining. I come prepared to pay well for a relaxing, rewarding culinary experience. I do hope others can and will continue to leave honest, positive reviews when they are deserved.
