Leo’s was a great experience overall and I look forward to returning soon. Travis the manager was so welcoming and very knowledgeable about the menus. JJ the bartender made us some delicious cocktails to go with our meals. We both shared a NY strip and a filet steak and they were cooked perfectly and delicious. We also had the potatoes and wow they weee good.

Always a great experience dining at TC! Service is impeccable from the time you walk in! Sofian was our waiter at my last dining. He is the best! He remember my likings from the last meal and I was appalled that he remembered the intricate details! His suggestions and wine pairings for our meal was stellar ! He checked in on us through the entire meal just to ensure we were satisfied and short of nothing! Please ask for him when you dine there! Service , food ambience is top notched! Definitely my favorite place to dine in Houston! Thanks Sofian, thanks TC for an enjoyable evening! See you all soon again!
