   Great dinning. Small menu but that is to be expected, with the limited times of the theater. We kind of had to wait for our water abs your delicious bread at the beginning but it was really well worth it. We will be back later this year. Thank you Geof Wickett

   The main advantage of the restaurant is its proximity to the concert hall. We were able to enjoy a leisurely dinner with friends, and not have rush to the concert. The restaurant is attractive, and the noise level was fine. The food was good. The portions were a little small for the price, but then we do not want to have a big meal prior to the concert. The waiter was very nice, but a little disorganized. He had to be reminded to bring our guest's coffee, and introduced himself and explained the soup of the day several times. I am sure that I will have a pre-concert meal here again in the future.

   The food was excellent, but the service was even better. Carlos is a superb server. The cocktails we enjoyed before our meal were also incredible. Overall, a really nice evening.

   We had dinner before a show. We’d seen the restaurant a lot but this was our first time in the door. We’ve always wanted to try it. My wife had the duck breast, I had lamb chops. The food was absolutely perfect, maybe the best duck breast ever. The lamb chops were just as perfect. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. This was a great pre-show dinner.

   Checked in with my name. The guy asked me to walk through restaurant to see if our friends were already there. Weird! I told him I made a reservation and could he take us to our table! He didn’t oblige. We walked through and didn’t see our friends. Guy gave us a table and then my husband spotted our friends and we changed tables. Not professional. Service slow. Our waitress didn’t ask us if we wanted to place a drink order, we had to ask her. Drinks and food came out at different times. It was all just not up to Leatherbys standard.

   We had a nice anniversary dinner there. The staff was very courteous. I ordered the lamb which was excellent. My wife ordered the chicken which was also very good. We both had the butternut squash soup which was delicious. The evenings special entre also looked good but we had eaten a similar meal the night before elsewhere.

   As always I was presented with absolutely delicious food for dinner yesterday! The Chef has created a new menu - I challenge any diner to not find something they would enjoy from this menu. Michael, I thoroughly enjoy being served in your area. Everyone, please know the entire waiter, server and bartender staff are amazing!! Thank you all for another delicious meal!! Happy New Year!!

    From the start, the service was bad. There was no one at the check in desk and people were lined up out the door. The guy finally came strolling out of the back and slowly seated people. They were clearly short staffed. Our server ended up being the one and only bartender! She had a full bar, our table and several others, and was making drinks for the restaurant. Ridiculous!! The food- we had the French Onion soup as a starter. It was awful and barely warm. There was so much vinegar in it. We sent it back and noticed the table across the way also sent theirs back. The entree was the fillet. In a good note, the meal was tasty. However, eating a plate of food that was not even warm was not pleasant. The fillet was over cooked and not juicy. The flavor was nice but the overall experience with cold food (no we didn’t send back due to show time) was unpleasant. At this point we just wanted to eat and leave. It took forever to get our server back to even check on us let alone get the bill. We will not be back. With the high prices, this place does not meet the level. It will get the business due to the proximity to the venue but it needs an overhaul. Cold food is a NO!!!!!

    We had a fabulous dinner for 4 on New Year's Day--the manager was so gracious, and the server Michael was wonderfully attentive and conscientious. Great menu, lovely presentation and appreciated that they allowed us to finish dessert and drinks even after closing time, very kind and accommodating!

    Went before performance at Segerstrom. Very good at getting the food out quickly. We ordered filet mignon; we found it unusual that the waiter did not come to the table and ask if the steak was cooked to our liking (it was overcooked). The menu items consist of good, interesting proteins, accompanied by overly creative sides that distracted from the protein and made the choice less appealing. The night we were there, the manager was acting as host, but was away from the station for extended periods of time. We ended up waiting close to 5 minutes to be greeted; others gave up and left.

    Every year, my daughter and I go see the Nutcracker during the Christmas season. This year we elected to eat dinner before seeing the show at this restaurant. This venue seemed like a good option based on the proximity. The restaurant itself is lovely. Our waitress seemed slightly, overwhelmed as she was the only server for the larger portion of the dining area. There was another server who had a separate section, but his wasn’t as large. The waitress was pleasant enough, but did seem a little harried. The food was passable, but not excellent for the price point. I had the Chilean Seabass, my daughter had the gumbo and a wedge salad that never came. The Seabass would have been significantly better had it been seared well. The consistency of the gumbo was slightly watery. Overall I do recommend the spot based on the general experience and will return to give it another shot.

    Leatherby’s has been a wonderful mainstay for pre-theater dining for a long time, but the service has gone way downhill in the last several months. It’s sad, because the food has actually elevated to a higher level, the menu changes seasonally and always offers enticing new items. I am a frequent theater patron, several times a month, and always dine here pre-theater for the convenience. It has been very disappointing the last few times, so will seek out other pre-theater dining options nearby.
