To me the Lenny's excitement is a feeling a vibe

When this opportunity came to be in Durham we always

wanted to be here uh we always liked the artsy

uh foodie vibe that that Durham in way represents so

we wanted to contribute to that

The lenny represents the best in life in my opinion

the things that you never get bored of things that

represent that are gonna be classically great today yesterday and

tomorrow

We wanna offer in Durham like a little bit of

the rosity like a little bit of the steak house

a little of the Asian Asian cuisine like little bit

of sometimes Latino Latino cuisine

If you really like know what you're doing you're gonna

take that the point that like when you're cooking a

pork chop is nice and juicy soft and tender and

like people are gonna enjoy it

We offer a little bit like uh of the Asian

cuisine you know like a nice chicken Korean chicken burger

Octopus we use some uh like rosco sauce sweet and

spicyrosco sauce so we play with the flavors and like

little spicy little sweet and we added some nice um

roasted potatoes we saute it with like a very delicious

fish stock and you know we do it like until

they get nice and you know soft and tender potatoes

like it's a nice combination

Our beverage here are inspired by the seasons inspired by

our location inspired by the music streamline the storytelling that

we're trying to provide our signature the Passion 555 inspired

by our location uh passion fruit tequila martini

Uh we serve it with a edible flour on top

It's kind of like the introduction

It's the first thing you see on the beverage menu

It's a good pair of tea if you wanna start

off with something light refreshing

Something to enjoy on a rooftop

Also recommend our smoking mirror

We kind of dub it our smoked old fashioned

We use duck fat washed bourbon and we infuse it

with some demol brown sugar and we smoke it and

we serve it in a smoked glass serve it tableside

the aromatics together with

Experience oh it's delicious

The spirit in the sky that is our mezcal cocktail

It's absolutely delicious

People enjoy the little tableside presentations we do with our

cocktails

That's another martini people love enjoying all types of martinis

on our menu and definitely recommend that one

We're so inspired by the beautiful majestic view that we

have here in Durham

I mean as you look at look at the on

one side you look see the greenery and then we

see the beautiful ballpark and then of course the the

growing skyline then we felt like how can we compete

with such a beautiful view

When they come in here I want people to feel

energized with patterns and and shapes and and materials to

keep it give it that sense of of movement have

fun with the atmosphere keep it alive keep it active

and yet when you go outside you have this beautiful

view and that's just a a wonderful compliment of each

other
