Ordered the cod dinner. Food only covered 1/4 of the plate even tho i didn’t delete anything. $32 for a teeny piece of cod is just wrong.Other member of party ordered grilled cheese, it was priced appropriately and was great.Bar stools were very uncomfortable, this could easily be fixed.Try harder, Leos, you’ve got possibility.

Gorgeous space with attentive and knowledgeable servers. One of my favorite places in Asheville to lounge and savor some delicious (albeit somewhat pricey) treats. The chicken liver mousse was a particular standout and so was the Albariño and the Nero d’Avola!
The food is consistently delicious and interesting. The staff are laid back in a great way and love the food they’re serving.

I’m picky about food quality and service and also because I have some food intolerances - Leo’s was amazing on all fronts. The food was sooo good, they were very helpful at making sure food intolerances were known, the hostess even personally called me to let us know when the table was ready. Definitely will be back often.

What a great spot. Super deep selection of wine and excellent food. Service was outstanding. Highly recommended.
We arrived with little expectation, armed with no knowledge but a Google algorithmic suggestion based on other places I liked.The food was fantastic, the wine was wonderful, but if I'm going to be completely honest there are lots of great places to eat or drink in Ashville, and a fair amount that do both well.What really sets Leo's apart is the service. Hands down the best service we experienced in town from any business. Expert recommendations, genuine smiles, fast but personable service.I really would choose amazing service with good food over mediocre service with amazing food but at Leo's you get both amazing food AND amazing service and you can't beat that.Kid-friendliness: We brought our four-year-old and they were happy to have him. They were kind, talked to him directly, respectfully, no baby talk, and made sure we were happy with table arrangements for his seating. For his treatment alone we would have loved the place.
Everything was great except one big issue. This place is so popular yet they only have parking to accommodate a very limited number of cars. The restaurant next to it has more than enough parking, but instead of leasing some to Leo's, they monitor the lot for Leo's customers and call the tow trucks. Our entertainment was watching cars being towed. Leo's needs a new location or to work out an arrangement with the neighbor restaurant. We parked in the Aldi lot behind the restaurant.

We ate at Leo’s on the last day of our holiday. It was a great meal!! We started with a glass of wine, they have a great selection of natural ones. Some of the food highlights were the devilled eggs which were so creamy. The crème brûlée was also fantastic, it had cheese in it which is really original.The ambiance while eating is great, I loved the picnic tables and string lights. It’s great too that they serve the food on local East Fork pottery.

We had a perfect lunch here. The food was unique and delicious. Our server was passionate about the food and very knowledgeable about the wines, which were also wonderful. Highly recommend.
