   Leo’s is a beautiful restaurant with a wonderful ambience. It makes you feel like you are in an exclusive dining venue from a bygone era. The service both times I went there was stellar. The food is, overall, excellent. A few items on the menu missed the mark, such as the undercooked Brussels sprouts the second time I was there (the first time they were fabulous; they second time they were much larger and were almost raw). The steaks were cooked just right and, after all, this is a steak place. The chocolate soufflé is to die for; consider one of their other homemade ice creams besides cardamom - we went with salted caramel. You will leave with considerably less money in your bank account, but you will certainly feel like you had a very satisfying meal.

   The service was really good and the food was on point. Nice ambiance, which was enhanced by the piano player. We'll be back for sure!

   Food was fair. They were out of four things, salmon, wine we ordered, cappuccino, and a pasta. Not good. Good vibe tho. Husband said not going back for awhile.

   One of my new favorite places in the neighborhood. The service, from the valet to the wait staff are the best.

   We were excited to return to Leo’s, but this time with our family of six, and were beyond underwhelmed with our second experience. It took 15 minutes for water, 30 minutes for wine to be brought to the table, and 45 minutes for bread service; it progressively got worse from there. The wrong temperature steaks were delivered, but we did not dare return them due to how long we waited for our food in the first place. We asked for simple things, like the dessert menu, that never appeared. It was as if our table did not exist, sadly. Surprisingly, the quickest thing to be delivered was the check despite wanting to order more food. I think the core issue was splitting the entire second floor amongst three waiters, so no one had accountability or consistency to ensure we received what we requested. I will note the bread service and whipped feta were delicious; and the steaks were good despite the wrong temperature.

   We had a very nice Christmas Day dinner. Very good drinks, the Devil in Disguise and the Repeat Offender. Nice oysters for our appetizer. My wife had the lobster bisque and it was perfect. I had the filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. We had the tremendous orange soufflé for dessert. A must have. Really amazing. Great night.

   Overall very nice and food was great. Just need to work out a few small kinks, yet I’m mindful we were there on Christmas Day.

    Great Christmas Eve Dinner. Only comment is that our waitress (Marriana) was a little green compared to previous servers at Leos. We will definitely be back soon.
