I always enjoy eating at Leah’s. Our waiter Jamar, was very attentive and kept checking in at appropriate times. We ate lightly, took advantage of the lasagna, special, and generally enjoyed the evening. I’ve been there for happy hours and it’s a positive addition to the neighborhood. Hard to believe it’s been there 20 years.

This is the third Ted’s location I’ve been to and they’re always a solid choice. My party of 4 ended up being 5, and they went above and beyond to accommodate us. Everyone enjoyed their food, but we really loved the cocktails. They didn’t try to hurry us out, either, so we were able to enjoy a 2.5 hour dinner with drinks and time to catch up with friends.

    Our server was wonderful. She did a great job checking on us, explaining menu items and communicating to the kitchen of a food allergy. Despite it being a full restaurant during our time there, we were still attended to by staff regularly at Miss Toya’s, we could talk and enjoy the music without having to yell -which can be an issue with brunches in general. The food was delicious, brought out hot and promptly after ordering. Brunch was great value for the price.
