Food was excellent, service was beyond expectations. Very nice for a date or special occasion. A little bit of a “scene,” bit wasn’t over the top on a Wednesday night.

Leo’s was a great experience overall and I look forward to returning soon. Travis the manager was so welcoming and very knowledgeable about the menus. JJ the bartender made us some delicious cocktails to go with our meals. We both shared a NY strip and a filet steak and they were cooked perfectly and delicious. We also had the potatoes and wow they weee good.
