One of the worst experiences ever! – I thought this was one of the worst dining experiences. We made a reservation for 8pm, arrived 5 minutes early and were told it would be at least 15 minutes. Ok. Then we were seated. It took a waiter 10 minutes to acknowledge us. We didn?t receive bread until 20 minutes after that. I had to ask for a napkin, silverware, and my water to be refilled. Dinner took 1 hour and 45 minutes for our main courses to arrive. I will say that the filet was wonderful, but the remainder of courses were n... read more
Great for "Quality" time with family – My husband and I have been going here for years. Every birthday and every anniversary. Although some may say that the service is slow, thats what we like. We really get to enjoy each others company in between amazing courses of food. If you want to get in and get out I wouldnt suggest this place but if you want a romantic date than this is the place to go. The food is excellent and very presentable. Ive tried just about everything on the menu and no complaints so far. The service is exc... read more
Elegant Meal – My experience at Lelli's was fantastic. I was seated at the time of my reservation in a spacious booth. My waitresses were pleasant and informative about the entrees available. Though it is an expensive meal, I felt it was worth it because of the overall experience and the amount of food they provide. They serve an awesome minestrone, the best I've ever had. My entree was delicious and although it was served a while later, I didn't mind because it gave me time to relax, digest, and spend time with the people I... read more
avoid at all cost – You need to give every place a second chance, that?s what we thought. We went in the last 3 weeks twice. Big mistake. Twice into a disaster. Unfriendly staff, chairs with the springs / cushions on the floor. Not that they could have changed the chairs because of us in 3 weeks. Armrests that look like someone scraped the paint of the wood. Yuck!Be patient when you order. You need to decide if you want large amounts of food or massive amounts. Waiters are not very good listeners. Be prepared to wait for a l... read more
WHAT HAPPEN TO THIS ONCE GREAT RESTAURANT? – Lellis USED to be our favorite place, now We wont go back. The food is great and well worth the price, but the service ruins the whole lellis experience. They used to have very professional servers waiting on you. Now I guess they are hire every young person that comes through the door. We were seated in a booth where all we could hear were these young servers on the other side of the wall talking about how drunk they got at Lellis after after hours the night before. The server we... read more
Terrible birthday idea – I chose Lelli's to have a family gathering for my sister-in-law's 50th birthday. I made a reservation 2 weeks in advance for 21 people. We ordered a couple bottles of wine...so far so good. When we began to order our food, we were informed they were OUT OF LETTUCE. They had used it up for Mother's Day. This was the THURSDAY after Mother's day. My brother in law ordered escargot. We were told they were out of the puff pastry they use for the recipe. When we finally figured out how to order enough food... read more
Not worth the expense – We went on a Saturday night. It was crowded, but we had a reservation for 7:30 and was seated within 15 minutes. Many people were there to have dinner before a program at the Palace, so they had to get out by a certain time, and the staff was trying to get them going. We had 2 waitresses for our table and they apologized for not getting to us very quickly, but now that the theatre crowd was gone they will be very attentive. They were not. We sat down at 7:45. We weren't asked our order until 15 minute... read more
This Detroit institution remains a local favorite for traditional Italian, even if it is in Auburn Hills. – In Short Considering its size and crowds, Lelli's manages to be intimate and refined rather than impersonal and stuffy. Large leather banquettes line the walls, and a black-tied wait staff hustles to handle endless orders, pausing just long enough to prepare several dishes tableside. Six courses of hearty Italian food have kept diners coming back to Lelli's since 1939. The menu leads with the house specialty, broiled f... read more
Meal from hell – It has been several years since I had last been here when this great old time restaurant was located by the GM bldg. I was in Auburn Hills and entertained two friends from out of state. It had to be one of the worst experiences of my life. A great bottle of read served very warm. The waiter said they no longer had a wine cooler since the flood whatever that meant. We asked for the manger and first as said he was busy in the bar then told he had left. Over priced bad food, bad service. Go anywhere but here.
