Had the beef satay… cold and greasy. Very small plates with extremely high prices. My friend was not impressed with what she ordered. Basically a disappointment and I’m amazed at the many positive reviews. Maybe I was there on an off day. Just be ready to spend $200+ and leave hungry.

This place is amazing. We were looking for a date night for our anniversary this evening and Leo's was suggested for great atmosphere and flavor. Both are definitely true!

Leo's is absolutely solid. The atmosphere is solidly artisanal (and I hate using that word, but for once, it truly fits). The care put into each of the details of the customer's experience is evident. The staff are friendly, attentive, and awesome. The food is absolutely solid, but maybe the one area that could possibly be improved. That's not meant to be a knock on them, the fact that I go there every week speaks to this. I look forward to years of excellence from this new classic.

Our experience was very positive and we greatly enjoyed all the dishes that we shared with friends. Best Asian food we’ve had in Santa Fe (on par with Izanami in terms of authentic flavors). Give it a try!

Tiny eatery, big flavor. They need hot beverages on the menu, but the food choices were excellent. I mean, the fried chicken is GF!

We loooved our dinner at Leo's, we had been so excited to eat here and it did not disappoint. Our server Illiana was so wonderful and accommodating, her warm energy and beautiful smile made our experience there such a joy. We ordered the pork belly, the catfish papaya salad, the Laab and the fried chicken. Everything was delicious, impossible to pick a favorite. The cocktail I ordered was the Meanderer, I'll be needing more of those for sure, but can't wait to explore more of the menu. The interior is cozy with beautiful wooden tables and we loved the communal seating. It was lovely to chat with our neighbors about their dishes and drinks. My only complaint would be the noise level, it is incredibly loud, but the noise is the din of people laughing and enjoying spectacular food and company so can't complain too much. We'll be back!

Leo’s has the most elevated Thai food I have had in New Mexico. From the food, to the atmosphere, to the team of people working, this restaurant gets one of the highest ratings of any I have been to in Santa Fe. The food has so much flavor, and the ingredients I can tell are of a high quality. A couple things to keep in mind is the place has the feel of a bustling restaurant you would find in the middle of a large city. Also if you end up going, plan on waiting to get in as there is consistently a line to get seated, and no reservations. Worth it if you have the time though.

Delicious food and staff that raise the bar on service. Don’t show up hangry because you will likely wait to be seated. There’s waves of seating - easiest seating is 9pm or after for their smaller late night menu. Any other time, show up, add your name to list, and go grab drink somewhere in area. Come back a little before your time. Unless you’re sitting at bar, be prepared to sit with other parties as seating is communal. Don’t expect a romantic dinner given this seating and the music levels, but expect a chic, energetic, delicious dinner. Their sister restaurant in SLC was named a top 50 restaurant in the country by NYT for a reason, and I can see this one being added one day too. Staff is clearly very well trained or brings great experience. Try their inventive cocktails. Dorade and the noodles are stand-outs. Keep room for dessert. Ogle the woodwork and ask your server for the story behind it all, especially the piece of art on the wall. Thanks for opening a great new spot in Santa Fe.

Eating at Leo's was absolutley delightful! We sat at the bar, where server was attentive and spent time (although they were very busy) explaining drinks and food. The food is the star of the show - we had noodles and fried chicken based on recommendation of lovely gentleman at the bar. Both were absolutely delicious! I look forward to my next visit with the lamb! The space is beautiful, but a bit small & noise level is a bit high. Grateful for this great, unique addition to Santa Fe!

Leo’s was a fun and unique dining experience in Santa Fe! Delicious, flavorful and spicy food paired with an interesting cocktail. Everything tasted super fresh. Proteins were cooked to perfection. Friendly, helpful host and servers. We waited about 25-30 minutes before being seated, which is pretty reasonable for a busy Saturday night. We arrived around the time of the first turn of tables so that helped limit our wait time a bit.
The place was slammed and the dining room was buzzing! Our server Ryland was excellent and handled the pressure like a pro! He mentioned that the kitchen was backed up, but honestly, I thought our food came out pretty quick. Impressive feat for a kitchen the size of a walk in closet!
If you do not enjoy community dining and interacting with people, this might not be the place for you. Plenty of other options in town. In my opinion, it is a thoughtful use of a tiny space and worked well for the style of cuisine that they are serving. They are still getting dialed in after recently opening, but overall it was a successful dinner and I am looking forward to my next visit!
