This was our first visit and we invited friends to join us. We started in the Bar, which is beautiful. My wife ordered a glass of wine. Not available but she was shown an acceptable substitute. My Manhattan was not on HH list. Dinner was similar. Our first 2 wine selections were out of stock. It took a while to get the sommelier to arrive, but when he did he brought a lovely substitute, discounted for our trouble. Well done. Service was provided by a very nice waitress. However as more tables filled she was stretched thin. Not her fault. I was unhappy with the “family style” description of sides as 2 folks could barely enjoy 2 bites. The 4 of us each had one bite and it was gone. We could not enjoy our sides throughout the meal. Steaks were delicious and perfectly cooked. The Truffle Agnolotti were excellent. The kitchen delivered our meal piece by piece, sides last, creating an awkward start to the meal. The drama and spirit of presentation was not there. Open since October ‘24 we thought the owner would have ironed out all the kinks. Well try again later to give an opportunity for service and wine inventory issues to be worked out. One item of note is the return of live music, which was delightful. Please retain this feature as a distinguishing element for Leo’s!

Everything was excellent, particularly the food and music- the only thing impacting ambience was the fact that it was a bit empty. Hopefully more people start going because it's a great spot.

This is a beautiful setting for dining at its best. Every staff member was professional, pleasant and helpful. Cocktails: Lavender haze - a bit sweet for my taste Foamy old fashion- delicious! Food: Oysters - yummy Deviled eggs- delish (caviar was the best) Filet - cooked perfectly Potatoes - so good with Parmesan sauce . Brussel sprout- least favorite we did not eat them after one bite. Dessert: chocolate cake with ice cream for a birthday treat- tasty. The piano music was a nice treat as well. We will definitely go back.

One of the very best Restaurants in Houston! Rich, elegant, amazing / friendly staff, and spectacular cuisine & cocktails! The live music (piano) only adds to the exquisite atmosphere! The best bone marrow appetizer I have ever had.

Perhaps we just had an off night but no atmosphere to speak of, no piano player, steak was so oversalted it could have been cured. This was our second time coming here and things aren't looking good. Probably will not come back.

The restaurant was amazing, I didn’t care much for what I ordered but I would come back and try something else. My main complaint was the valet parking. When we were getting out of the car a tall guy w a mustache made a rude comment to my date. I realize that has nothing to do with the restaurant but it did affect our experience.
