Great attitude, excellent service and fabulous dishes. Overall, it was great time at Lechon! Just one thing to consider, the Rib Eye Steak is overpriced. However, is very tasty!

Haven't been here for thirty years and brought my cousin who liked the view from the Chart House who I guessed would appreciate the view from the Bank Corp Tower's thirtieth floor. The pork belly appetizer was interesting. Excellent clam chowder. Brought the blackened shrimp home to dilute the spicy noodles with some romaine. Not to worry, we had a lovely lunch, identified the bridges, and enjoyed the outstanding service.

A delightful meal from start to finish, albeit an expensive one. Our server, Maria, was attentive and provided excellent recommendations, especially the steak tartare—it was our favorite dish, and one we wouldn't have ordered on our own. We'll be back, but only for special occasions.
