My wife and I went to Lelli's Inn on Valentine's Day. I called 6 days in advance for reservation at 8pm. When we got there at 7:15pm, the 6pm reservations were on a 2 hr wait, and so on. My wife and I were not sat until 10:35pm... (more)

I?ve actually been to this place twice and it gets better every time. The pasta and ingredients are unbelievably fresh and prepared to order. I ordered the veal parmesan, which was sublime. My mother had the penne... (more)

This is an excellent old restaurant. The service was wonderful and food was excellent. The Old World charm was a nice change of pace and felt intimate and quiet. The menu gives you plenty of options and even some... (more)

Lellis was the location of my bridal shower for 60 people, and they not only worked with us on price, but gave us excellent service as well. They were so helpful with coordination and doing extra little things! We had a... (more)

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... (more)

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... (more)

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... (more)

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... (more)

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,... (more)

<b>In Short</b><br>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... (more)

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... (more)

The service was horrid, the filets should not have been cold and the wine should not have been warm. In fact, our server, Jason, offered to chill the wine for us. Unfortunately, our cold steaks arrived six minutes... (more)

I was first introduced to Lellis in 1998 when it was located in Detroit. A fire destroyed that location in 2000. Now located in Auburn Hills, the BEST filets are served. We eat here on special occasions and bring our out... (more)

Lelli's is one of my very favorite restaurants in Detroit. Although I have heard horror stories about poor service, I have never had bad service there (once I had to wait a few minutes for my bread and water), and it's... (more)

This is a very popular lunch spot due to its proximity to DaimlerChrysler. However, unless you live in the area (or are entertaining the aforementioned on a limited time schedule), there are considerably better... (more)
