Kris Hart
Wonderful experience from booking to bill. They ask when booking if the reservation is for a special event (ours was birthdays). They greeted us with “Happy Birthday”, checked our coats and seated us right away. We started with adult beverages. The drink menu was holiday/winter themed (fun!) we had the goat cheese salad & Lobster Bisque for appetizers. Chilean Sea Bass and Branzino were our entrees. Compliments to the chef (insert chef’s kiss here) The service was impeccable. The wait staff positioned themselves to not interrupt our time together, unless necessary. Our main server (Brook) timed her visits perfectly. The space was a 5 minute walk from our hotel and the neighborhood was very walkable. Parking was abundant if needed.

Went here with my wife for our anniversary. First time here. We had a really good time. Food was great, service as well. They have a cool little program where you can be an esteemed guest. $40 a year and you get 10% off every visit and nice discounts on birthdays and anniversaries. If you are looking for a nicer dining experience, this is a good place to go.

A friend recommended this location for a great dinner and experience. We were not disappointed. Our server, William, was simply amazing. He greeted us warmly. Presented many options with unbelievable clarity and gave us space to make our decisions. His suggestions and recommendations were spot on. Our selections were so yummy we absolutely loved it. The desert options presented all looked amazing, but the dinner portions left little room for this visit. We highly recommend this location to visit and enjoy.

Great food, great atmosphere and even better service. Zach was very attentive at the right times. We had the Cajun chicken tortellini, seafood chowder, seafood pan roast and apple cheesecake for dessert. All were amazing and I’d def recommend. Try to make a reservation if you are going on a weekend. If not it you can try the bar, which we’ve done and also had food service. Pictures is also the walleye. It wasn’t what I expected and needed more flavor.

Came for our anniversary and it was such a lovely experience. Our server Jacob was incredible, and the food was among some of the best we’ve ever had. Thank you and we will definitely be back one day!

This place was so delicious! We took our friend their for her birthday and they kindly gave a free dessert. The wait staff are all friendly and they are very efficient with service. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean. There isn't anything we had they wasn't delicious to include the drinks. I would definitely recommend the Brussel sprouts and the crab cakes duo appetizers. The portions are larger than expected so don't over do it on appetizers and bread. I couldn't finish my delicious meal! I will definitely be returning. I didn't include photos because all photos on their website is reflective of what I experienced.

We love it here. From the moment you walk in until the time you leave, you feel special. The food is incredible and the portions will ensure you are full. We went here again for my girlfriend’s birthday, it’s always a home run!
Rhonda Fox
We had an incredible dining experience at Leo’s Seafood Restaurant, and our server Avery truly made it exceptional. From the moment we sat down, she gave an amazing presentation on their specials, explaining everything clearly. She ensured we had everything we needed, and her friendly demeanor made us feel so welcome. It was clear she genuinely cared about her job. The food was delicious, but it was Avery's outstanding service that really made the night unforgettable!
