    We had a great dining experience on Christmas Eve! The hostess, waitress and valet staff were top notch and very attentive! Our drinks were tasty, cold & strong! The food was fantastic- we had avocado dip and deviled eggs for appetizers and the Ahi Tuna Salad and Blackened Redfish entrees. Loved the ambiance and decor too!

    We used to go to San Jacinto Inn as kids, so my brothers and I celebrated what would have been our parents’ 74th anniversary at La Lucha and you knocked it out of the park! Thanks so much for a memorable evening celebrating family.

    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
