It was reallllly great! We enjoyed every bit of it- service was spectacular, every single employee was on top of it, kind, knowledgeable. Food was incredible. Tableside Caesar salad was amazing. We got the Ribeye and it was delicious especially with a side of Turners sauce. Brussel sprouts were *chefs kiss*! I wasn’t crazy about the Alaskan crab Mac and cheese. But I would definitely get the puréed potatoes next time, a little scoop came with our steak and I wanted more!! The tableside martini cart added such a special touch. My husband and I enjoyed the interactive experience. We will definitely be 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
