Leo’s River Oaks never disappoints! From the moment you step into this elegant restaurant you are greeted with smiles and exceptional service. The live music is a bonus and a perfect accompaniment to the experience! Our server Manny is committed to outstanding service. He is attentive, professional and friendly! The Executive Chef is phenomenal. His presentation , creativity and enthusiasm for his craft shines through every course! My husband and I have frequently visited Leo’s for special occasions as well as date nights. We have been treated with such care during all our visits! There is not one bad thing that I can say about this special place. Our suggestion: Make it a priority to try Leo’s !
