   Things tried in mg party of 5: bread & butter service, raw oysters, shrimp cocktail, ribeye, truffle pasta, salmon, duck fat potatoes and french fries. The only standouts were the truffle pasta, oysters, and french fries. Service was spotty and what really annoyed me is that the server continually reached across me to serve instead of walking around to the other side of the table. Also food runners had no idea who ordered what. I expected a higher level of service from a restaurant with this price point. Lots of better options to explore in the city.

   Great first experience. The steak was perfectly cooked, love the live piano and ambience, service was great— and loved the “perfect pair“ of a bottle of champagne with a “Leo’s dozen“ oysters (which is 14). We also enjoyed the bread with house churned butter, brussels sprouts, and the carrot cake was a hit. The duck fat potatoes, octopus, and broccolini were fine, though not standouts like the other items we tried. With many great options in Houston, will definitely be visiting Leo’s again.

   Everything from the service to the food was incredible. The wait staff was attentive (thanks Cameron) and the risotto and whole fish were particularly delicious

   If you have a chance to sit at the bar — DO IT! Elman is outstanding and you’ll be hard pressed to find better service, perfect food recommendations, and excellent cocktails. I always say, if you can have a great experience at the bar of a restaurant, then you know the dining room experience will be equally great.

   Leo's is just gorgeous the service is delightful and helpful the chef can be heavy handed with the salt in fact our table ordered scallops and sent them back as unedible (too salty) the kitchen hastily remade that order and they were beautiful these things happen the prices are VERY high so most likely this will be a special occasion place for most people at the time of our reservation the crowd was sparse (more folks arrived later) and whoever decides where to seat the guest decided to put us right next to a well lit and bustling waiter station----was NOT cool nor did that add to the ambiance for us not appreciated at all

   Outstanding food and service, one of Houston's finest new restaurants. Also, love the piano playing during dinner adds another level of class.
