Great restaurant for date night! The host and waitstaff we're very friendly. The food was also amazing. As far as cocktails go, they were solid as well. The ambiance and vibes were really neat also. We were running late for our reservation and the host was kind enough to call us to confirm if we were still going to make it which I really appreciated. Great experience over and definitely will be going back with friends.

Gluten-free pasta! Leon’s makes its own GF pasta - garanelli - out of rice and corn flours - tender and delicious. I had it with their duck rags and wanted to lick the plate clean. Really grateful for this find! All the food was delish - and their selections of sorbet are next level. We had brown butter sage and olive oil lemon - both incredible! Plus there’s a sommelier to help with wine selection - can’t recommend highly enough.

What a fabulous new(ish) option in the neighborhood. We’ve been meaning to go for last few months and wish we had sooner. Excellent service, cool vibe, and delicious food (still dreaming about that chicken). Can’t wait to return!

We arrived at Leon's at 7:29 on a Wednesday without a reservation. They told us it would be 10 to 15 minutes to get a table, so we decided to wait. They had us stand by the bar, but we were able to find two seats there. Macey was a wonderful bartender, personable, friendly, and attentive. By 8:03 we were finally told our table was ready, but we would have to leave by 9:30. We sat ready to order since it took so long to get the table, but the waiter gave us menus and disappeared for a long period of time. When he finally came back, we had to ask him for bread. Then he disappeared again for a while. If they wanted us out by 9:30, they certainly weren't making an effort to speed up service. We got out appetizer at 8:45 (a Raphini melt), which was a bit bland except for the chili sauce to dip it in. Out main meal did not come until 9:00. My friend had the Ricotta Cavatelli, which she said was underwhelming. I had the Spaghetti with Zucchini, which was nutty and flavorful. By 9:15, the manager came and asked to move us for a larger party. He did offer us free dessert for the inconvenience. For a restaurant that one review equated to Michelin level service, I was fairly disappointed overall.

Gorgeous and bright space with high ceilings! The staff is kind and attentive. The food. Next level. Fresh ingredients, beautifully seasoned, and delicious cocktails. Our group had the Mozzarella, Prosciutto, Olives, Salad (best salad I've ever had!), Pomodoro, Corn ravioli, Spaghetti with zuchin, and Calamari. All amazing.
We went before a show and it was perfect. Added bonus: Top notch Happy Hour.

This was an amazing restaurant experience with food porn galore. The service was friendly, warm and delightful. I ordered my signature Shirley and Salumi. Followed up with Milano Highball Thanks Patrick Stewart!
Super happy this place opened up. It’s a perfect new addition to the neighborhood. The best part is the atmosphere. Loved that it’s spacious, not too loud or too dark, and easy to get a table. Food was decent too. Loved the corn ravioli!

I had very fond memories of dining at Leon’s about a month ago (July 30, to be precise). Unfortunately, when I returned very recently, hoping for another great dinner, I found the experience to miss the mark completely.
I sat outside, and the tablecloths were a bit dirty. However, this is less of an issue, as I chose to sit outside.
Personally, I was disappointed with the quality of the entrees. I ordered the swordfish special and found the amount of fish to be relatively small. In addition, the peppers and onions that accompanied the fish were way too steeped in oil for me to fully enjoy. It wasn’t great presentation, and the taste disappointed as well.
The dessert (lemon tart) remains very good. This was the same dessert I had the first time I dined at Leon’s. The drink I ordered (Ford’s Caffè Tonico) was also disappointing.
Overall, perhaps because I had such good memories of my first dinner at Leon’s, I clearly wanted to replicate that experience in my second visit. But I can’t help but feel this visit, which will likely be my last, was a disheartening dining experience.

$5 burger deal is basically a marketing scam. It’s $17 for a burger and additional $12 for a small fries. Burger is bland. Have a better marketing strategy.
