Food was really good, but lobster & king crab were on the salty side. The salmon and corn soup was surprisingly one of the best things on the table. The Cajun seafood pan roast was a good mix of different seafood and very buttery. The food took a pretty long time to come out, but the waitress was very sweet and hospitable. read more

I took some friends from a nursing home (one with dementia, one with mobility issues) to Leo's on Thanksgiving and Leo's could not have handled it better. From the receptionist (I apologize for not getting her name) , to Karla at the bar, to Ty, their waiter, everyone treated the couple with dignity and respect. The food was outstanding, the service superb, and desert topped it off! The restaurant was decorated for the holidays and looked great. My friends couldn't say enough good things about their adventure. Thanks to all involved at Leo's. read more

Despite good food and good service, I left with a bad taste in my mouth. Among other things, I ordered a Caesar salad with no croutons and heavy on the anchovies. With drinks, tax and tip the meal for myself and my wife the bill approached $200. I was surprised and insulted to see a $1 surcharge for the "heavy anchovies". Should I have asked for a credit for the forgone croutons? Although I have had the same salad prepared the way in many other restaurants, I have never received a surcharge. Leo's may have scored an extra dollar, but they lost two customers. I encourage fellow diners to search for eating alternatives where customers are valued and respected, not nickeled and dimed. read more

Absolutely amazing! The food was perfect, and our server, Brooke was friendly, knowledgeable of the menu, and made great suggestions. We enjoyed her as we enjoyed our meal! If you are Brookes manager, she needs a raise! We had for starters, the mozzarella salad (so delicious!) made with fresh mozzarella, spring mix, tomatoes, and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. My boyfriend had the oysters and they were so good, he ordered an additional two! For our entrees, he got the halibut topped with crab meat and bearnaise sauce. He described it as moist and juicy and perfect. We got a lobster tail on the side to share, perfect! I had the spinach fettuccine in a garlic butter sauce with shrimp and goat cheese. This is going to sound dramatic, but it was the best fucking pasta dish I have ever had, and I have had a LOT of pasta dishes because carbs are my favorite food. For dessert we shared a slice of the maraschino cherry ice cream cake and again, one of the best desserts I have ever had If I could give this restaurant 10 stars, I WOULD We even asked for two rolls to go, and they gave us FOUR! Above and beyond is how I would describe the staff. Thank you to Leo's for a wonderful meal and a perfect welcome to Grand Rapids. read more

Wish I could give a 3.5 star! I went out for lunch by myself and I was really looking forward to be blown away by everything because of what I had heard from others. The food was inconsistent and the service was good. The Bloody Mary was excellent, thick, perfectly salty (5/5). The raw oysters were ok, a couple of them were spawning so they had the white sac on top. One was not fresh (3/5). The calamari was not hot and not crispy, just bland (2/5). The mussels were quite dry, really tiny and again not flavorful (1/5). Leo's Lobster Bisque was incredible. It came out piping hot with real lobster in it, very flavorful (5/5). Korean Sea Bass was delicious and came out piping hot! Thank you! The flavor was not Korean but the fish was perfectly cooked. I don't remember anything about the rice or veggies, they were forgetful (5/5). When they packed my leftover food at my table, they forgot to put my calamari in the bag. I ordered it mainly to save for my son so I had to drive all the way back to the restaurant to get the calamari. The manager was very professional about it and threw in some chicken tenders for my son to make up for not packing my food correctly. However, it was super inconvenient and wasted almost an hour of my busy day. Overall, I wanted to treat myself for lunch because this mama doesn't really ever get a day to herself. I spent over $100 dining alone and Leo's did not blow me away. The ambiance was warm and lovely but the food was too inconsistent for me to want to come back. It also did not help that I had to drive all the way back to the restaurant to pick up missing food. (3.5 stars) read more

Leo's is always my first choice for special occasions. I love everything here. Forgive me for no photos - I thought I'd already reviewed it here! This evening I had the surf n turf - the steak is always cooked perfectly, the lobster is done just right and the sides are tasty too! My husband got the halibut Oscar style - this is also one of my top choices. It comes with asparagus and harvest rice. I don't know what they put in that harvest rice but it's SO GOOD! Dana makes the best desserts in town but I'm usually too full to get them! I did once last summer and it was delightful! It was a chocolate Cherry Ice cream pie... and it was HUGE. Desserts are for sure shareable. If you haven't been to Leo's - do yourself a favor and make a reservation tonight. read more

Came yesterday for my birthday because I was craving mussels and the restaurant we originally went to was sold out of that dish. Luckily, Leo's had our back. We sat in the lounge, and got a very classic bowl of mussels with white wine and sherry. It was good, the bread on the side for dipping could have been a little bit more toasted and seemed slightly stale. My husband enjoyed the salmon corn chowder and the warm dinner rolls were delicious. We think it was the sage that made them so tasty? I decided to try the scallop appetizer because I absolutely adore warm, buttery scallops. They are so sweet and tantalizing. Sadly, when the order came and I bit into the scallop, it was colder than room temperature. Everything was seasoned really well, but the scallop was just the wrong temperature. Our waiter, TJ, checked in and we mentioned that the scallops were a little bit too cool. He offered to have the kitchen reheat them, but I declined, because scallops can easily be over cooked and then taste like rubber. Since we were not offered a replacement plate, we finished them and got our bill. It's a beautiful restaurant and the bathrooms have some floss and mouthwash in them which makes it feel fancy. I'm thankful they had the mussels and wished the scallops had been warm with a slightly better sear. Maybe we will give them another chance sometime in the future. read more

Superb food, service and ambiance. Loved it! We will be back and highly recommend. Don't miss if you enjoy seafood.

WOW, SUPBERB, AWESOME, SPLENDID.... these were just a few of the exclamations from our party on Tuesday, Sept 25th. Service was on point with William, the restaurant is beautiful and the food was just ...see the first four words! The filet and Lobster were scrumptious. Not only was the filet cooked perfectly, the flavor was great. The presentation of the clarified butter for the beautiful rock lobster was perfect. I ate slowly. I did not want it to end. We ordered all four desserts and extra spoons and oh my goodness! I highly recommend Leo's Seafood, it would be a destination on its own for me! read more

Finally!! An expensive dinner that was worth every penny! My husband and I had THE most amazing dinner. I am an ohhh and ahhh -er. Not normally him.

Really nice place. I went with a group of about 15 and our food was brought out promptly after ordering. Everyone enjoyed their dish. I had the ribeye, but this is mainly a seafood place. Leo's does not skimp on the ingredients. The lumps of crab included in some of the fish dishes was impressive and I left feeling thoroughly satisfied. First time having creme brûlée. Yep, I'm a fan now. Can't wait for another opportunity to eat here. read more

First time visiting Leo's; and we had an amazing dinner. We started with the crab cake duo and they're amazing! So good, I recommend getting one just for yourself! I had the Caesar salad and personally, I would not recommend it. I didn't like the taste of the dressing honestly. For my entree, I had the surf and turf and it was delicious! My steak was cooked perfectly for my taste and the lobster tail was cooked perfectly! I enjoyed the sides that cakes with the dish, mashed potatoes and asparagus. Everything was delicious! Highly recommended! read more

The food was incredible and the ambiance was very nice, but the real kicker was the service. My boyfriend and I went to celebrate a late Valentine's Day and our waiter, Dwight, was extremely enthusiastic and personable. He was incredibly polite, accommodating, and professional. All the other waiters and waitresses that stopped by even said he was the best! Overall the experience was amazing and I would definitely come back, if for nothing else, to interact with Dwight again! P.S. best calamari I've ever had! read more

Service was great. Drinks were fine. Food was disappointing given the price; Lobster was overcooked, steak was cold. Better places to splurge on but options for seafood are limited in GR--if you go, keep expectations low. read more

Since the departure of Leo and any involvement of the Dolce family it is NOT the same except...the desserts are as wonderful and inventive as ever. Now on occasion, we just get them to go. However we learned during COVID no less, you cannot place a to go order on a Friday or Saturday even if it is a single dessert. read more

Always a pleasant dining experience with excellent service. The food was as to be expected (delicious) and the ambience a relaxing white table cloth kinda vibe. read more

This isn't your basic seafood restaurant. High end cuisine focused on seafood is definitely not just upscale Red Lobster. We had shrimp risotto and the Scottish salmon and both were excellent. Highlight of the meal was the Tiramisu. We enjoyed this as much as any desert we've had in a while and there was more than enough to share. Prices seemed a bit high but given the rising cost of everything the cost was really very reasonable given the quality and quantity of food served. We will be back, soon. read more

Returned to Leo's last night for the first time since COVID. Sat at the bar and had a wonderful meal. The Manhattan Clam Chowder is the absolute best! I don't think I can eat at Leo's and not order this! So great! I ordered the scallops for my entree. They come wrapped with salmon...very unique and awesome! Dessert was a chocolate crème brûlée which was also terrific. The warm rolls with dinner were also great. Great wine list and great service along with the nice ambiance complete the experience. Leo's is definitely among the best restaurants in Grand Rapids and I look forward to returning later this year! read more

A favorite place always. Our server was amazing with good recommendations, knew the menu well, and was genuine and personable. Our escargot was prepared like we've never seen it before and is a dish in itself for which to visit Leo's--so good. We both ordered the sea bass--probably the best prep and presentation of sea bass ever. We ate all our leftovers too. Will be back sooner this time! read more

High quality seafood with great cocktail housed within a very nice classy place. Service was also top notch. Highly recommend

This was our first time at Leo's. Great food and the service was amazing! We will definitely be back!

Leo's served fantastic food and provided excellent service. Parking was easy. The vibe was elegant.

Leo's is phenomenal! Everything we had was delicious! My favorite was the escargot, surf and turf. The Ceaser salad was underwhelming but the pumpkin spice cheesecake made up for it. Service was great as well! If I lived closer I would come back all the time. read more

I now have a new favorite restaurant in Grand Rapids! My wife and I decided on Leo's for our anniversary this year. We knew that they specialized in fish, dinners and seafood and we were fine with that until we saw the menu and saw surf and turf I ordered the surf and turf, it was crazy good. Brenda ordered the 9 ounce fillet and it was perfectly cooked. Vegetables were crisp not mushy and the potatoes were awesome. Service is excellent. The ambience is perfect. Can't wait to come back. It will be real soon! read more

Daughter & I celebrated my (late) Mother's bday. Staff was great and helpful, drinks were tuff like I like them, and my daughter's "Mocktail" was very good! Food came hot and fast! Seasoned well, and more than enough serving-wise. Lobster Bisque was outstanding! Dining experience was pleasant, scenic and surprisingly quiet considering the amount of people there. This was her first time, so showing her a little dining etiquette was easy to do with the wait staff being really helpful. read more
