    Leon is a gem! Seasonal, delicious eating. The mushroom carpaccio salad was meltingly delicious, with an incredible vinaigrette very lightly dressed but so fresh. The snap pea salad crunchy and springtime celebratory bright with mint and herbs. The lemon tagliolini also yummy but for me the standout was the potato and teleggio ravioli with ramps. Savory and pillowy goodness. The Branzino was grilled to perfection and rounded out with lemon potatoes and arugula salad! Three of us shred everything and it was perfect. Cocktails were well crafted and delish. And the seating is comfortable! woop woop! Love the lovely and elegant atmosphere- the bar area also comfortable and inviting. Terrific service - very attentive. I asked for a leisurely pace and I got it, which doesn't always happen. Thank you Leon!
