Service from Jamie was great. We were sitting in a corner so it was noisy, sound bouncing from everywhere. Their “feed me” style option looked like good value. We chose not to do that as one person in our party just doesn’t. Food is kinda pricey if going a la carte so I would recommend doing it. All items we ate were super tasty! Cocktails were fun.

We had dinner at the 8.30 booking last night and were served by several different staff - all were the loveliest humans and the perfect combination of friendly, down-to-earth, and helpful. The food as always was exceptional - highly recommend the Zucchini pizza! We've been to Leo's countless times and have never been disappointed.
