   The restaurant is beautiful with a roaring 20s vibe. The service was great as our waiter was awesome. The food was very salty but not flavorful at all. Overall overpriced for the value. Definitely not worth the value.

   Very good food and excellent service. My one suggestion would be to make the deliciously flavored lobster bisque creamier, thicker and more substantial. It’s too thin and watery for a bisque.

   We had a nice experience at Leo's. The bread service was good and the steak we split (14oz boneless Ribeye) had a nice crust and was cooked a perfect medium rare. Our server was nice and knowledgeable. It's a lovely restaurant.

   Our reservation was for 8:15 and we were not seated until after 9. Then after ordering our drinks and appetizers , we waited for ever for our drinks. This being said, the manager did comp our drinks because of the delay. Overall, the place itself was very nice. Service not so great, and food was average, nothing to get excited over. Maybe because it’s new it has some kinks to work out!

   Steaks were cold, butternut squash and the stacked potatoes were under cooked. Service as good, restaurant has good ambiance.

   Food was disappointing and took a very long time. We had an $800 dinner for 4 with a drink a piece. Value is not there at all. Our waitress was awesome.

    Not sure about all the glowing reviews I read, but it’s okay. The food service was a bit slow but acceptable. There was some confusion with food delivery by the runners (our water was sent to another table, and we initially were presented with someone else’s food). My side didn’t come until halfway through my fish filet. $14 for bread and butter was a bit absurd…my husband’s caesar salad had a lot of end parts (which as we know are quite bitter), and his chicken was not seasoned. My snapper was well cooked, along with my broccolini. Save yourself $10 on the valet charge and park at the deck across the street…that’s literally what they did with our car anyway. We chose this location for the live music, but it was a busy Saturday, so the piano was drown out by the large parties dining. Not fault of the restaurant, but if you are going for dinner conversation and music, be mindful it won’t happen here. Can’t say we will return when comparing price versus service and value. I feel like we were up-charged for location and ambiance.
