    There is a new restaurant in Murray Hill that is not only serving some delicious bites, but also has some of the best happy hour deals out there. For just $15 you can get two tacos AND a margarita during their happy hour which runs everyday from 5 - 7pm. Plus they have $12 cocktails including espresso martinis, aperol spritz, and more. In addition to the happy hour deals, the food is all tasty and they have a great menu. I absolutely loved the smashburger and the Cacio e Pepe - both so delish! This spot is super cozy and cute and is perfect for a casual dinner or brunch and catching up with friends!

    Cute and friendly restaurant. Tuna and pappardelle entrees were both excellent. Nice wine list. A bit of street noise but otherwise easy to have a conversation.

    My friend and I had a wonderful dinner here. We shared the scallop appetizer and both enjoyed it a lot. Actually, I really loved it. The shells are a nice decorative touch, but the cheese stuck to the shells and candidly, I'd rather have had a simpler plating if it meant that I could have eaten even a few more remnants of the cheese. My salmon portion as an entree seemed quite large and came with zucchini and green beans. The flavor of the sauce was so good that we requested bread (not otherwise served) so I could sop it up. My friend had the cheese burger, which was ginormous and looked amazing. It came with a delicious large portion of fries (many of which I poached). She took home half the burger for later. The waitress was so cheerful and upbeat, it added to the comfortable ambiance in a way one rarely encounters. We'll definitely go back.

    All around fantastic spot. Was excited to find a restaurant that wasn’t bar/ happy hour centric where we could enjoy our time and talk without crewman for being slammed into a small manhattan space. Just wonderful!

    A little loud from a big boisterous party, but when they left very quiet and romantic. Wonderfully light and airy sweet potato fries, savory roasted scallops, juicy salmon and peppery tuna. Fantastic service too!

    Beautiful decor, creative and scrumptious cuisine, well-curated wines, and wonderful server Jennifer made our Saturday dinner at Leslie special. It was not our first time there and will definitely not be our last.

    Good neighborhood spot. We were early so the restaurant was nice and quiet. Limited menu but food was tasty. Not too many options for vegetarians, though. That could limit too many return visits.
