Lefty's Restaurant - Buderim

We arrived at 7.30pm. There were two people eating in an otherwise empty establishment. We heard the cry "In coming" as Mr Lefty ran out to usher us in. A bit over powering, but OK. Then as we entered Mr Lefty ( a slightly sozzled American)"shluted through to the kitchen "It'sOK, they're caucasians". Not funny!. He tven made a second racist quiö "sit your caucasian selves down" before inviting us to order quick as they were closing. We asked if he really wanted us there to which he said we had to eat there as everywhere else was closed. The three of us all stood up and left. There were many places open. As we left the couple looked longingly at us as if they wanted us to take them with us. Maybe the food is good, maybe not. But the attitude of the manager is pathetic. Went for a 5 star experience round the corner at Machu Pichu.

After reading mixed reviews about this restaurant, we decided to give it a try and were pleasantly surprised. Lefty warmly welcomed us and described each dish we ordered perfectly, making our decision-making process easy. The food was delicious and we plan on returning. Lefty added to the overall atmosphere of the restaurant with his charming personality, although some may find him overly friendly, which could explain some negative reviews. Ultimately, we were satisfied with the service and the option to bring our own alcohol helped keep costs down. Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend it to anyone. We were a group of four.

One of the oldest established restaurants In Maroochydore offering good quality food and drinks in a laid back atmosphere

Attended my works' Christmas party at the restaurant last night at 6.30. There was a drunk man drinking beer behind the bar. He made me feel very uncomfortable with his inappropriate behavior. He made rude gestures behind a woman's' back, embraced another woman behind the bar, which I could clearly see she didn't like. When my order arrived he asked me to please eat my meal, placing his fingers all over my cutlery and pushing it toward my plate then picking up my handbag off the ground; Why I don't know! He attempted conversations with me several times which made no sense, lucky for him there were lots of posts for him to lean on or he would of fallen to the ground several times. He should just leave the hardworking waitress to run the place. She worked her butt off all night. I hope she gets paid well as she does the job of at least 3, and probably does so much more behind the scene. Poor her for having to work under those conditions apparently all the time. The food was edible but disappointing. I will never return and wouldn't recommend it to anyone!

I had another fantastic night out at Lefty's, enjoying delicious dishes that combined Mediterranean and Mexican flavors. I can't wait to go back again. It's the perfect spot to hang out with friends and relax.
