   We we not greeted by anyone and the bartender was not friendly at all. The restaurant was half full and the man I assumed was the manager sat at his computer at one of the tables. The large high top table in the bar was covered in stuff and was also used a folding station for napkins. Unsightly on the way to the restroom. Overall, great waitress, she improved our martini glasses Convenient to theater.

   If you are going to next door, this is the place to be. The food is as good as the other restaurants around plus you do not have to park two times!

   We had a nice evening before a concert. The fiddle was outstanding and the service was great. Our waiter was Michael and he was very informative and attentive. Guidos to the chef!

   We were quite upset when our entrees arrived when we were only halfway through our salads. That is a taboo to us. The steak was extremely tough and difficult to swallow. The dessert was not fresh and tasted like a commercial mini pie. The ambiance great, server very pleasant, food quality didn’t match expectations.

    My wife and I had dinner at Leatherby's prior to attending a show at Segerstrom Hall. We started with scallops as an appetizer which came with two large diver scallops served on a bed of risotto and perfect for sharing. For entrees, my wife had the Branzino, a delicate fish that was moist and delicious and served on a bed of quinois. I had the Maple Leaf Duck breast which was well prepared and had to be the most tender duck breasts that I have ever had. To finish off the night we shared the chocolate mousse cake which had a thin layer of cake at the base, topped with the chocolate mousse and wrapped with a decadent chocolate ganache. Altogether we had a wonderful and satisfying meal with impeccable service provided by the duo of Michael and Elizabeth and plenty of time to walk across the courtyard to catch the evening performance. We will definitely come again.

    We were greeted by the Maitre ‘d as we entered and led to a wonderful table. Our server, Michael, was cordial and attentive. A great place to dine, particularly if you plan to attend a show at Segerstrom. The presentation is beautiful and every dish we tasted was a delightful discovery of flavors.

    The chicken tortilla soup was very good and the Nebraska Filet Mignon was prepared perfectly!! I treated myself to the Key Lime tart for dessert - it was a delicious finish to a perfect meal. Thank you all for providing a great dining experience!! If you are thinking about trying Leatherby’s for the first time, consider requesting a table in Michael’s service area. He knows everything about each item on the menu. He can lead you to enjoying a wonderful meal!!

    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.

    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.

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!!!!!

    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.
