    Initially our night didn’t start off on the right foot as our reservation got lost. That happens with technology, and firefly management and staff were amazing once they discovered the hiccup. The food was great and the night ended on a good note. Recommendations: valet, try the steak frites and the white chocolate crème brûlée.

    Superior service experience and delicious food. It is spendy, but completely delivers if your expectations are a classy and classic West Hollywood experience with charm and a gorgeous view. Anthony's over/above service while waiting in the bar area was precious.

    Leona’s is hands down one of the Best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Each dish they serve is superb and tastes sublime. It is my favorite go to place for sushi, it is always so fresh! The ambience is nice, there are three rooms to choose from so you can decide how noisy you’d like your meal to be. The service is quick and easy. The restaurant is a great choice and I am always impressed with the quality.
