This was our first time at Auden and we absolutely loved it. Lane gave us great service and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious - plantain chips, milk buns, chicken 65(wow!) cheeseburger, lamb kabob, rigatoni, and chocolate mousse. If you love bubbles try the Zitsa. Also had a manhattan (not on the menu but executed beautifully). We were a party of four and we shared all the dishes family style as they came out. It was perfect. Looking forward to returning to try several dishes that sound delicious but we just didn’t have room for. Atmosphere is lovely too. Overall great experience!

Delicious food! Great place to eat for groups. The location is great, and atmosphere was fun. Our waiter did an excellent job as well. Try the spinach dip for an app, the steak, or the scallops, and definitely give the brussel sprouts a go. Everyone at our table cleared their plates!

Leo’s was a great experience overall and I look forward to returning soon. Travis the manager was so welcoming and very knowledgeable about the menus. JJ the bartender made us some delicious cocktails to go with our meals. We both shared a NY strip and a filet steak and they were cooked perfectly and delicious. We also had the potatoes and wow they weee good.
