Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Haymarket

This was our first visit to Leo’s but definitely won’t be our last. We were so impressed with every aspect of our experience. The staff’s attention to detail was truly impressive. Our server, Brooke (Blond Brooke), was welcoming, gracious, informative, helpful and well-versed on our dining and cocktail options. Her guidance helped us navigate an amazing array of dining options. In the end we were extremely pleased with our choices. In addition to Brooke’s help, we were extremely pleased with the managers and support staff who checked in on us to ensure we were enjoying our dining experience. The overall atmosphere at Leo’s also helped make our meal memorable. The lighting, noise level, and movement of the staff provided a welcoming ambience where the pace and delivery of the meal allowed us to thoroughly enjoy ourselves. The food was prepared well and exceeded our expectations. Again, the menu provided some incredible options that we look forward to trying on our future visits to Leo’s!

We had a birthday group with 8 adults. We were able to get a reservation which many restaurants will not do for 8. Everyone ordered differently and all raved about the food. The service was excellent as well.

Our waiter, Elijah, was amazing! We have been to Bowdies several times over the years and each time it’s just as great as the first. The steaks are always cooked to perfection, and the truffle fries are next level. We will be back, as always. Merry Christmas.

Lovely evening! Very relaxing and enjoyable. Good mix of laidback but also elegant, a great atmosphere at a high top in the back of the restaurant by the bar.

Everything was great! The food, drinks and dessert were all wonderful. We brought friends for their first visit and it was just the right place for visiting! It was a little busy - but that’s Friday night! Always a favorite for us.
