We had an early dinner before a concert at House of Blues. We were seated and served promptly, the food and service were very good. I would recommend Hearsay on the Green to anyone as a convenient place to eat to anyone going to an event at HoB, Toyota Center, or any other downtown venue.

Made a reservation for 5p for 6 people because of holiday season. We were the only ones in the restaurant for 1 1/2 hours! I have no idea why, the food was really good! Everything tasted very fresh, the bread is made onsite so that makes a difference. Friends raved about the ceviche and the Texqueno was amazing. I would happily recommend and go back.

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
