Leonora offers a delightful culinary experience with "excellent food and service." Guests rave about the "perfectly cooked 7x steak" and "amazing entrees." While some note service hiccups and ambiance issues, the attentive staff, especially Cornelius, receive praise. The varied menu and cozy, elegant atmosphere make it worth a visit.

The food was great. It was a half an hour before we were seated and we got off to a slower start. Once the order was placed, however the service picked up and everything was really delicious.

First time dining here and unfortunately it will be our last. The risotto was mushy it was more like a gummy bowl of oatmeal, not at all like risotto should be. The Osso Buco veal shank was tender but lacked flavor and the mashed potatoes underneath were very soupy. The room we sat it was very load and it was hard to have a conversation in.

We were VERY disappointed by the food. The onion soup was too sweet, the duck confit meat was too hard, the cheese fondue was more of a lukewarm, small size cheese dip, the taste of the steak was mediocre. These are some basic and common dishes that should be easy to properly make yet this expensive restaurant did so poorly in making them.

An unbelievable experience. The 7x steak was perfectly cooked, the salmon melted in your mouth and the staff was phenomenal. When the bill came, I was pleasantly surprised with the total cost. It was expensive but worth every penny. Highly recommend it. The only downside was that it was located in a hotel so it didn't have the ambience of a stand alone restaurant but everything else made up for it.
