   A Culinary Gem in Orlando – A Must-Visit! I had the pleasure of dining at Leiah last night, and it was truly a remarkable experience from start to finish. The ambiance is stunning—elegant yet welcoming, with a modern charm that immediately sets the tone for a special evening. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by Janira, whose service was nothing short of impeccable. Her knowledge of the food and the wine list added so much to the experience—she guided me through the evening with grace and enthusiasm. I tried their tasting menu, which is being offered at an incredible value right now. As someone familiar with fine dining, I was honestly stunned by the quality and number of courses for the price—it’s a steal. The wine list is exceptional—beautifully curated to complement the menu. As a wine lover, I truly appreciated the attention to detail in every pairing and the quality of the offerings. The meal began with the best corn chowder I’ve ever had—creamy, yet light, bursting with flavor without feeling overly rich. Next came a dish of King Crab with yuca and a mustard-verjus vinaigrette—fresh, balanced, and beautifully plated. Then came my personal favorite: handmade tortellini filled with brie, fontina, and a 36-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano sauce. It was rich, comforting, and absolutely divine. The seared sea bass that followed was cooked to perfection and served over a hearty “farroto” with zucchini, kale, and sweet potato—a perfect mix of textures and flavors. The prime tenderloin was another standout, served with parsnip purée, heirloom carrots, and a culantro chimichurri that stole the show. To finish, dessert was a stunner featuring mascarpone, papaya, dragon fruit, and a delicate sugar tuile shaped like a butterfly. It was as beautiful as it was delicious. I was blown away by the thoughtfulness behind each dish and the quality of ingredients. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates fine dining, great service, and culinary creativity.

   An absolute stunning experience. If you are in Orlando, do not miss an evening here. The chef is a super nice guy. The restaurant is named after his daughter. He is passionate about his art . . . . and his food is art. We enjoyed the chef's menu and could not have been more pleased. I have eaten in fine restaurants around the world. This was one of the finest that I have had the pleasure to enjoy.

   I had an incredible dining experience at Leiah last night. The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, and every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. Chef Omar’s passion for quality and creativity really comes through. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the wine list was thoughtfully curated. A fantastic addition to downtown Orlando—I’ll definitely be back.

   The food is absolutely amazing! I was impressed with the wine list, the prices are very affordable for that quality of wine. The restaurant is family owned which made the experience and story that much more impressive. Chef Omar’s resume in cuisine is extensive and it shows on every single dish. The taste and presentation of every plate was out of this world. If you are looking for a date night in downtown Orlando this place is a must!! It’s still in its soft opening so take advantage before it blows up which I have no doubt it will.

    I’ve been waiting for this restaurant to open up and my first time there did not disappoint! They are still in their soft opening but every single dish was beautifully executed and undeniably delicious. Can’t wait for the full opening!
