   I've eaten at The Leaf several times and have always enjoyed it. I brought 3 friends with me today, two of which had never been there. I was embarrassed by the portion sizes of the food we ordered. I had "We be Yammin", a favorite of mine, and was shocked to see so few Brussels sprouts; I would be surprised if there were 2 sprouts used in the full order. It was not worth the $17 price.

   Disappointed! We had dinner reservations at 6:15 PM and waited for a waitress for over 20 minutes. Green fried tomatoes were excellent. 1 hour later dinner was served. Fried fish over cooked,& cold. Wife had shrimp scampi and it was swimming in butter. We left at 8:30 Pm ish and had to find a waitress to pay bill. We have eaten at Leaf before and would not go back after eating their numero times.

   We LOVE this restaurant, but it took an hour for us to get put food. We were very hungry.

   We have been at the Leaf twice and we have gotten the same waitress whom is awful. Both times she was out of straws and didn't ever bring any to us. We ended up asking another waitress. We could never catch her to get refills on or drinks that have been empty for a while. She also refilled a few of us and “forgot” about the others. One of us ordered a cheese burger well done, it was not well done it was slightly cooked.

   We had a reservation and were seated on time. Our server was great, friendly and attentive. The menu options were all interesting and our breakfast did not disappoint. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

   Cozy restaurant with great food and service. Many many gluten free options as well. We all left happy. I would highly recommend a reservation or go early

   Even with a reservation it took a few minutes to be seated but not too bad. Unfortunately it was about 15 minutes after we sat that our waitress came over. Food was excellent, atmosphere awesome. For the most part everything was great, just took 1 hr 45 min to have lunch.

   We have enjoyed eating at the Leaf since the beginning and have it on our rotation of places we like to go to. However, the last two times we have gone, there has been a significant wait time for our food. Yesterday 7/28, we made a reservation for 1215pm. It was very busy and were not seated until 1230pm. Our server came to the table quickly and we placed our order and then we proceeded to wait for over an hour for our food. We could see that everyone was working as fast as they could and were kind and respectful to each other, even under the stressful circumstances. Our food was ok, but not as good as we have had in the past, and our server or none of the other staff came around to apologize for the delay. We hope that some of the work flow can be figured out.

    Busy Sunday morning. Glad we had reservation. Ordered our food and drinks. Drinks came quick. Food took awhile to come. When it did toast wasn’t cooked items missing from plate. Some food was not hot. Don’t know if the kitchen was short someone but not the experience we have had in the past.
