    My girlfriend and I wanted to try a new spot and Leo’s had great reviews. We made a reservation for 8:15 on Feb 15th. We arrived 5 minutes early and they were very busy so there was a bit of a wait. We were seated around 8:25. We both ended up ordering the New York strip. It came with asparagus, potatoes and was topped with lump crab. The steak was very well seasoned and tinder but kinda fatty. The potatoes and asparagus were also really good and the lump crab was a nice touch. Our server was very nice and checked up on us frequently throughout our meal. I give the overall experience a 8.5 out of 10.

    We enjoyed an incredible valentine's day omakase menu. The flavors of each dish were well balanced with contrasting textures. I'm not a big fan of sorbet, but the Kiwi sorbet that we had last night was insanely good. Unfortunately the dishes were served too fast last night. We had all 5 courses and drinks in just under 1 hour. That wasn't our experience in the past when we dined here, so we don't expect it's a usual occurrence. We can't wait to return to M Test Kitchen for our next date night.

    Ordered a mixed drink - Endless Summer- spiced and coconut rum, montenegro, guava and lime, delicious. Their Focaccia served with Ricotta with honey,delicious. We ordered the rigatoni CAB colognes. They used radiatore pasta instead, shape of pasta makes no difference. We did not care for the sauce, too much of the sauce and mixed all together. Edible, but expected more. Came with ricotta. It was Valentines Day. They gave me with the bill a lip mask, will have to try, and a pair of heart shaped rose colored glasses. God knows I need to look at the world now through rose colored glasses. All and all a nice visit.
