Leeward offers a variety of delicious dishes, including the Endive Salad, grilled oysters, Cacio e Pepe tortelli, and whole wheat pappardelle. Vegetarian options are plentiful, with homemade gluten-free gnocchi available as a substitute. The small plates, artichokes, roasted oysters, and focaccia are all highly recommended, along with the must-try gnocco fritto and roasted black salsify root. The fried Skate is a unique and tasty choice, while the homemade pastas like sunchoke & goat cheese agnolotti and rigatoni with beef & pork ragù bolognese shine. The menu is Italian-inspired but modern, with seasonal desserts like plum sorbetto, carrot cake, butterscotch cranberry tart, and cinnamon apple gelato. The drink menu features a nice array of wines, cocktails, and mocktails. The ambiance is welcoming and comfortable, with helpful and friendly service. Sitting at the chef’s counter offers a fun view of the well-run kitchen. Overall, a dining experience that exceeds expectations, though be prepared for a higher price point. Wheelchair accessibility is excellent—no steps and spacious.
