   Amazing service! Food & drinks were 10/10! Highly, highly recommend! I took a couple of pictures but what was not pictured was the King Salmon which was DELICIOUS, I could not brag on it enough.

   Food was a bit on the salty side and some portions were a little under (eg. octopus appetizer - really is a small portion as are some other entrees) Prices were decent if the portions were more fair. Espresso martini was good as was the wine selection. Nice environment with live piano music, has potential if the food was a bit better seasoned.

   Leo’s River Oaks offers an upscale dining experience with a stunning ambiance that immediately sets the tone for a special evening. The service was attentive and professional, enhancing the overall experience. We began with the bread and butter service, followed by scallops, a few items from the raw bar, and a Caesar salad. The salad was a standout, perfectly balanced and delicious. For our main courses, we shared the ribeye and filet mignon. Both steaks were cooked to perfection, but they leaned slightly on the salty side, which detracted from their otherwise excellent preparation. The sides, however, were exceptional—the Brussels sprouts and potatoes dauphinoise were flavorful and elevated the meal. Leo’s extensive wine selection is impressive, particularly their offerings of Cabernet by the glass, which paired beautifully with the meal. Cocktails were prepared perfectly, as well. While we had high expectations for Leo’s, the overall experience was still good. The restaurant delivers in many areas, but with a few adjustments, it has the potential to exceed expectations.

   This is the second time I have dined here and it was amazing. The service is top notch. Our guy new the menu and his recommendations were spot on. What I particularly like is that you can be seated after 10PM, which in Houston, is difficult, with fine dining restaurants. Also, I am assuming because of the late seating, we did not have to listen to the piano music and could hear ourselves talk.

   Service was incredibly slow. Took a very long time to get our waters. Appetizers came before the cocktails. Appetizers were delicious but the rest of our dishes were just ok.

   Our server Avery and manager Scott made our experience at Leo's memorable. The 20 ounce dry aged rib eye coupled with the pasta dish were perfect. Everything from food, drinks and ambiance make Leo's a place worth checking out. We look forward to returning soon!

   Once we all sat down and ordered the drinks , it took at least 20 minutes to get the drinks that was not great , then we ordered the food and everything was super salty , we actually like food with salt but this was an excessive amount of salt , we did call the manager and she was super kind and sent a new steak and fish and offered us free dessert which was really good , the only thing is that then we found out that all the people that work there also manages the movie theater next door now we understand why everything was slow and not well executed , it’s a shame the place has a lot of potential it’s a beautiful restaurant but they do need a better chef and more help .

    Everything was great. A Tuesday night, so a bit slow, but the service and food met our expectations.
