Second time coming. First time the octopus salad was really good. This time the octopus had shrunk in size, came in pieces, increased in burntness, and came in an awkwardly sized bowl. The actual salad part was also a letdown. My husband’s beetroot salad was...Read More

If you an oyster fan, that’s the place. Unfortunately I’m not, so I didn’t get to enjoy that. My expectations was pretty high since a friend highly recommended this place. The service was great. I’m a picky eater so I struggled on finding something for...Read More

We had a delicious meal with great service. There was a $5 drink special as well as a nice selection of wines by the glass. I was nervous because the entry is not very grand —a little hidden, but once inside we felt welcome and...Read More

We’ve been to Lento a few times and have always enjoyed the service and food. The wait staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. The last time we went I will say the mains were a bit disappointing in terms of quality and price. The six...Read More

Visited Lento back in May and had a nice main with rabbit. Nice dimly lit ambience and very cozy. Only my second visit to Lento was deeply disappointing. Not my first lobster roll but first one at Lento. There was not much lobster on the roll. Tried cutting into the lobster roll and bread roll was too tough, so I requested a steak knife from the server. I saw some black crumbs and I flipped the bread over to find a completely blackened bread roll (see picture). I notified the manager and asked her if the rolls are normally this charred. She said they are grilled but this one was a quality control issue. She offered to replace the lobster roll. I needed to leave soon for my event soon so I just asked her to replace the roll lightly toasted and I would reassemble it. Someone brought another roll after 5 minute wait. The lobster roll didn’t taste like much, had little to no seasoning and chives didn’t perk it up at all. And the dry roll didn’t make it any better. Because of the light and faint flavor of the lobster and the strong taste of scorched bread, my taste buds were already tainted and everything else I ate tasted burnt. Duck fat fries were tasty, but also only filled about ¾ of the small container it arrived in. In this picture I’d only eaten about 3 fries, even though it looks half empty. Half of the fries were shorter than one-inch stumps. After I reassembled my meal, the bill came and there was no reduction for the inconvenience. I asked a server for a discount and she said the restaurant resolved the problem so no discount was needed. Later another server brought a bill with a 5% managerial discount. I asked to speak to the manager. After a 5 minute conversation, I requested 50% off the ticket and she removed 25% from the boil because the market cost of lobster was so expensive and said she hoped I’d give it another chance in the future. I’ve never had to ask staff so repeatedly for a discount for a food error or service error but looking at other reviews, I should have done my homework beforehand.

Got the gluten free fish fry tonight. That was delicious actually and you'd never know it was gluten free. The fries were soggy, they needed help but what ever is in your ketchup, that's delicious. The purple cabbage coleslaw was different, but in a...Read More
