Manager Biag Tronti and Chef Roland Vanasse can look with pride to Lewis’s Grill’s new look, and only rightly so. The before and after transformation has turned the establishment into a beautiful lounge. What the change actually accomplished was to provide customers with a lovely environment, the usual good food found at Lewis’ for years, at a low cost. There is waiter service during the day, lunches are served from 10 to 6:30 p.m., and a new feature, delicatessen-type sandwiches any time at all.

Also prepared to help serve you is a genial staff including John Despinosa, Steve Coakley, and Bill Flaherty.

The Friday special is Fish and Chips, like all other items on the menu, designed to delight the pocketbook.
