   Started out rough but got better. We had a 5:30 reservation but didn’t get seated until after 6. It was the Saturday after Valentine’s Day and they were busy so I tried to be understanding. After we were finally seated no one came to take our drink order. Finally after about 10 minutes a waitress asked if we had been helped and got us water and took our drink order. When our waiter finally arrived ( was 6:15 by this time) everything started to get better. The food was delicious, the experience nice for a special dinner and definitely try the chocolate lava cake for dessert. I would give them a second chance to fix the issues we had with our seating.

   Well as I said the food was great but appearance is everything. When we first sat down the two glasses that were sitting there for water had lipstick and food on them. So they gladly replaced that. When we received our meal the silverware had food and fingerprints all over them so they gladly replaced that.When we received our dessert, would you know that the spoons hot fingerprints + food residue on them. Let's just say that's the last time I'll be eating there.

   The place is very beautiful and the service was good. I do believe the food could have been better, we got the lobster shrimp pasta & the carbonara pasta and the flavor was just not there. If you’re not use to well seasoned food, this might be the place for you. Our overall experience was good and we had a good time but we just wished the food was better for the price.

   I enjoyed the atmosphere where. We sat at the high tops. Our server was good. My wife and I shared the shrimp cocktail and a salad. I got the salmon. It was delicious and a decent sized portion. The tiramisu was not good. It was too dense and dry and had too much chocolate on top. I would try something else for dessert. I would recommend this restaurant and will be back. Suggest getting a reservation and going early to find parking.

    I was excited to celebrate Galentines with my friends at Leo’s! I tried the restaurant for the first time during Restaurant Week. I LOVED everything about the restaurant including our server, Kelly. Last night our server, Kelly ruined the entire night for my entire table. He racially profiled us . Yes, we were seven, black , educated, professional women. He is a black server. There are stereotypes about black customers that I absolutely hate. The main one being that black customers always want their checks separated. It’s check time. Kelly approached our table. “ How are you paying the bill?, Separate checks I assume?” It was his condescending tone… I was heated . He lost out on the huge tip that we would have left him. I was planning to treat the table and the other ladies were planning to leave the server the cost of their meal as their tips! Huge mistake Kelly! The night went from joy to us all feeling horrible and we wanted to address the comment with him. If we would have we would have been angry black women instead of the joyful girlfriends out celebrating each other. The food was delicious. The only complaint was that our dip came out with burnt bread. Not dark burnt ! No self respecting chef or server would have presented that to any table. Still we did not complain. One of our guest changed her order minutes before her food should have arrived! Huge pet peeve of mine. Kelly rolled his eyes in disgust and stormed away from the table. She asked can I change my order. He could have politely answered her no, your order has been submitted. At the end of the evening he wished us all a Happy Galentines… We were over him .
