    Excellent wait-staff… our go-to Guy is Garrett. He is a rockstar with impeccable service and attention! Great menu both lunch, brunch, and dinner with lots of options. A must are the mussels and fried quail on the appetizer menu.

    Leo's is just gorgeous the service is delightful and helpful the chef can be heavy handed with the salt in fact our table ordered scallops and sent them back as unedible (too salty) the kitchen hastily remade that order and they were beautiful these things happen the prices are VERY high so most likely this will be a special occasion place for most people at the time of our reservation the crowd was sparse (more folks arrived later) and whoever decides where to seat the guest decided to put us right next to a well lit and bustling waiter station----was NOT cool nor did that add to the ambiance for us not appreciated at all
