    I've been wanting to visit Leilani Asian Fusion since they opened, and it did not disappoint! Every dish offered layers of flavor and texture, from our Shiitake Dumplings appetizer to the unique Land and Sea Maki Roll. If you like dense, flavorful desserts, don't miss the Matcha Lava Cake with Strawberry Sauce. Our dining experience was relaxed and unrushed, and our server, Wil, made excellent recommendations and conversation. His service made out evening truly special and we can't wait for our next vidit. We've already chosen cocktails and dishes to try next!

    We had reservations for a Wednesday evening (it was our 37th Anniversary) at 4:30 (reservations were not needed). I like the space/interior/decorations/spacing of tables. I pray they get outdoor seating. I ordered the Mussels Bianco as my main course, which was listed under the antipasti section of the menu. I enjoyed every bite. The butter, garlic, and lemon were perfectly balanced. My husband had the Ravioli Granchio, and it was the perfect size, not too much, not too little; he enjoyed it. The bartender, who was also our waitress, was very polite and friendly. I would recommend the restaurant, I just wish the prices would come down slightly. $25.00 for a pasta dish to me is crazy. Overall, it was a good experience.
