    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!!!!
