It’s been a minute since the last time we went to Uchi for dinner. Was not disappointed. Great valet service across the street, ticket validated by Uchi and we still tipped the great service. We arrived early after attending the Rockets game and were sent to the wine bar to enjoy drinks before dinner. Outstanding service and support. Other restaurants would just have you wait. Dinner was marvelous and the chef brought out an assortment of options based on our tastes and requests. Taste, quality and experience was all 5 star. Loved it.

Leo’s was a great experience overall and I look forward to returning soon. Travis the manager was so welcoming and very knowledgeable about the menus. JJ the bartender made us some delicious cocktails to go with our meals. We both shared a NY strip and a filet steak and they were cooked perfectly and delicious. We also had the potatoes and wow they weee good.
