This was a top notch experience in every way. Our server Jessica was amazing providing excellent suggestions timely check-ins and was very knowledgeable of the menu. The food was very good, the drinks were mixed just right. We had the lamb chops and the filet as our mains , the Rockefeller oysters which come with bacon interesting idea and were very good. The crab cakes were also very good. The live music and singer were also a nice touch. Steak was right temperature and asparagus accompaniment was also very good. The lamp chops were good portion and cooked nicely masking some of the “gaminess”. We will definitely be back , and if Jessica is there we will request her. Give Leo’s a try if you haven’t if the experience is anything like ours you won’t be disappointed.
