Most importantly I want to thank the staff for kindly sacrificing their day to be here for us. Sadly our experience dining here was lackluster. We dined at 4:15 on Thanksgiving day…..I believe we were the last seating so our table was not ready when we arrived (not a huge deal 15 minute wait). Service staff seemed uninspired & trying to rush us. Still eating & asking us if we wanted boxes. Not offering additional drinks or coffee/espresso with dessert. I finally got a managers attention & she brought an espresso. Thank you! It was a long travel day for me getting here. The food (we both had the surf & turf) paired with traditional Thanksgiving accompaniments might have been one of the worst meals I’ve ever had. The salad which appeared to be a wedge had a sweet dressing on it. Maybe we would have been happier with this establishment on a regular menu day. The dessert was the star as my daughter loved the pumpkin cheesecake & fruit crisp.

Leo's is a unique Thanksgiving experience because it allows guests to enjoy the complete traditional family-style dinner without doing the cooking -- and they wrap up all the leftovers to take home. Thus today we will enjoy turkey sandwiches with stuffing -- just as we would if we had cooked the meal!

Thank you for the great review, Susan! The team at Leo’s is thrilled to hear that you’re so happy with your recent dining experience. We look forward to hosting you again soon!
