    We had a group of 8 and were placed upstairs. It was a perfect setting for our group. Most ordered pasta or thin crust pizza. All were satisfied! We had an attentive server, food tasted great and we were very pleased for the efficient service.

    Delicious food with a great variety. Enjoyed soup, quesadilla and pizzas. Service was great and very attentive. Atmosphere was good, although a little loud but there was hardly a seat available middle of day.

    Our table had the roasted veggie appetizer as well as the cheso and chips, both excellent. Everyone enjoyed the entrees -- my salmon was delicious and a generous portion for $23.75. We did not have desserts, but everyone liked the beverages they chose from the beers and ciders to wines.

    Love the food at Lennies and all the servers are great! We always enjoy the specialty food evenings like Fall Harvest, German Feat and O Canada! Wonderful value and atmosphere. Trivia on Wednesday nights is always a good time! Lennies + Bloomington Pub Quiz for the win!!!!

    We ate at Lennie's for their annual Canada meal--we love their special themed meals. As there were no exclusively plant-based options on the Canadian menu, my wife ordered the portobello sandwich off the regular menu while I opted for the Cheddar Ale soup followed by the Canadian salmon with maple mustard sauce and roasted vegetables. For dessert we split the Pouding Chomeur. The special menu will be gone in a couple of days, but there are plenty of excellent choices on the regular menu. Since Lennie's partners with Bloomington Brewing Company, there are also plenty of interesting beers to pair with your meal! And the service is just as good as the food and drink!

    Thanks for visiting during our O Canada specials! Happy to hear you enjoyed your experience. Some other great vegan options are our Vegan Deluxe Pizza and our Lemon Herb Tofu Sandwich. The Tofu can be substituted on a lot of items to make them vegan. Appreciate your support and hope you visit again soon. =)
