My boyfriend and I were really disappointed because we found The Leopard on the Michelin guide and were looking forward to our anniversary dinner…To start, I made a note to the restaurant in my reservation not to serve alcoholic beverages (my boyfriend and I are both sober); yet, upon arrival there was a wine list at the table...The mock-tail my boyfriend ordered was delicious so I ordered one, but it tasted completely different than his…The pasta dishes we ordered individually were good (I had the gnocchi), but the sea-bass special had zero flavor and was barely eaten. We were still charged for it and we were charged for an espresso shot we didn’t ask for. Lastly, we ordered a dessert the guests next to us had ordered that is prepared table side. The waiter beats an egg with wine in it and it is cooked and poured over fresh berries (the alcohol is burnt off in the cooking process). The concept is clever; however, our server didn’t quite execute the dessert properly because it was rushed and we don’t believe the alcohol was cooked off entirely—we had a bite and it left a terrible taste in our mouths! We hate to be those people because we both work in service, but for the price that was paid none of this was okay! Save yourself the trip (and money), and cook dinner at home.

Beautiful dining room; warm welcome and service. Ambiance is near perfect. Food , though, while good, is a step below. For example, the veal in the Vitello tonnado was so cold it had almost no taste. How hard would it be to take the key component of a $30 appetizer out of the fridge early enough that it could come to room temp?

We got the table for second class citizens right by the door. The door was mostly closed for the first half of our meal then my wife froze for the second half when a cold breeze overtook our table. Sorry, but should not be charged $400 with tip to be freezing cold for dinner. There should not be a table in that location.

The beauty of this place, and the excellent service, almost but not quite make up for the fact that the food, though very good, is not quite as super as one would expect from the price. Plus, the noise volume is considerable. Still, the positives definitely outweight the negatives.

It pains me to write this review because we've had excellent prior experiences at The Leopard at des Artistes. Probably because it was Valentine's Day, they seemed to be in "churn and burn" mode. We were attending a concert starting at 7:30pm so I made a 5:15pm reservation to give us time for a leisurely, elegant dinner. I could have booked a table for 6:00pm and still been on time for the concert. The restaurant was relatively busy when we arrived. Despite this, only 55 minutes passed from when we sat down to when we finished our entrees so we had lots of time to kill. I eat slowly and lingered over my appetizer. I sensed the wait staff hovering and my plate disappeared moments after I finished. Our entrees arrived a couple minutes after that. My wife's chicken was warm but my Zuppa Di Mare was not even lukewarm. The dish had to have been finished for a while in anticipation of how fast I would eat, not in response to the pace we were actually dining. I did not want to throw the frenetic pace around us off, so I did not send the dish back. The only thing that didn't come quickly was the glass of wine I ordered when our entrees arrived. We were well through them before it showed up. The Leopard at des Artistes is worth a visit, but I recommend doing so on a quieter week night or at least not a holiday.

Our family brunch celebration honoring my 88th birthday was a dream come true. The Leopard was a perfect experience for 8 of us in three generations to dine together and celebrate life and family.
