Lento has always seemed like a myth to me, local food only made into fine dining. The food is just as they describe it. There is a huge chalk board showing where all the various foods come from, its nice to see local food being star of the show. The atmosphere was nice but it was very loud and not... More

I went with my husband and two friends to Lento last night. We were there for three hours , most of it spent waiting for drinks and food. Our waitress left us alone too often - empty glasses sat while we waited to order new ones, our drink and food orders took forever to arrive, the food, while incredibly complex... More

Their $1 oyster night on Tuesdays is a bargain and offers great New England and East Coast Canadian oysters, along with some West Coast oysters.... More

I can't say I've met a fish from the Great Lakes that I'd want to eat raw, and there are some spectacular NYS wines that are not available here. Some food is wonderful - it is... More
