    We made a reservation which was clearly not needed. We set inside expecting my better service. Our waitress promised us three separate times that our food was out soon. Our entrees took 45 minutes from when they removed our appetizers till we got our main courses. Other tables came and left and we waited having ordered straight off the menu. Our waitress never came to us again. We had to ask the bartender for the bill so we could leave. We could never order more wine or dessert because she never came again. In spite of this we still left her a tip but we honestly should not have. No manager ever came to talk to us about our food taking so long. No one offered any explanation nor any accommodation and as I said we had to ask the bartender to get our bill. He came to us and gave us our bill and tabbed us out as our waitress chatted with a customer dining alone who came after us and was already done eating and our waiting was so packing up this customers food table side.

    The portion was quite small. The selection was also rather limited.

    Never disappoints-even with new owners. Menu has changed but offers breakfast items at lunch along with old favorites.

    Sadly, we were pretty disappointed with our meal at Leunig's this past weekend. Leunig's has been a favorite restaurant of ours, but this latest meal was lacking in both quality and taste. We had the Lobster Elote Salad, which was surprisingly unimpressive - not much flavor despite being covered in cheese, the lobster itself felt like an afterthought, and the lettuce did not seem especially fresh. We had the Short Rib Poutine, which was pretty good and honestly probably the best part of the meal. I got the Cavatappi Carbonara - the peas seemed to have been both frozen and then over cooked, and the dish as a whole was OK but definitely not something I would order again. My partner got the Cornmeal Crusted Statler Chicken Breast - which again, was OK but under seasoned and fairly boring. We are hoping this was a one-off as this meal was of much poorer quality than we have had in the past at Leunig's.

    Leunig's has always been a reliable place to dine, no matter the time and season - very pleasant to sit outside as well as inside. We love the upstairs bar area to have supper!

    We had a couple of starters the escargot and the lobster bites. Both exceptional. Then we had a filet Minton and the seafood risotto. Really very very good. We had the rose bubbles to start and then wine by the glass which was also very good and to finish a peanut butter dessert. Service was good and IVY looked after us very well
