    Easy to get reservations online for a busy graduation weekend right when they opened. Service was attentive. Coffee was good as was the food. I was a bit disappointed when I asked for no green onion or garlic and they were both on my plate. The garlic was overpowering on the tomatoes and eggs.

    I walked in and was punched in the face by a cozy welcoming atmosphere. It's almost Thanksgiving and Christmas decor is everywhere - it's country, it's industrial, it's warm and inviting. Cloth napkins, lots coffee refills, fascinating brunch menu. I had been hunting for a pulled pork Benedict and found it here - on top of a cheddar jalapeño cornmeal waffle.

    Catfish sandwich and sweet potato fries

    It's a nice restaurant with a casual atmosphere. Our waiter was friendly and checked back a few times letting us know it wouldn't be much longer for our food. I don't mind waiting a little while but almost an hour for a sandwich and a pasta dinner is unacceptable. The food was good but the wait time needs to improve.

    Omelette, biscuits, and iced tea

    All of the staff was incredibly friendly, and the flower decorations were beautiful. I was so happy to find a veggie-forward breakfast option in the "We Be Yammin'" bowl and my husband enjoyed his omelette and biscuits. The iced tea was really good, too. Strong and cold!

    We were able to make a reservation on Open Table about 45 min ahead of time and were seated right away when we got there. I ordered the espresso martini. Delicious, however it had a dollop of whip cream on top (appearances?) if trying to give the allure of creamy, I'd rather have a splash of heavy cream. We ordered the pickle fries as an appetizer, which came with type of hot sauce. I like heat but it came right away and lingered. I'd prefer something like a signature chipotle aioli. We got the delicious taco salads. Loved the shell and all the fresh ingredients. We would have liked there to be a little Spanish rice and, guac and black beans included.

    16 September 2023 -- Saturday brunch, starting around 12:30pm

    Brunch Rating - 3.5/5 I visited for the first time in mid-September 2023 on my day trip to Wooster, Ohio to visit a friend. We both arrived to the restaurant around after 12:00 noon. The restaurant was starting to get busy upon arrival but we luckily were seated right away. FOOD -- I ordered the Loaded Potato Omelette ($13) with side of potatoes -- inside the omelette is bacon, potatoes, green onions. I got mine WITHOUT cheese and sour cream. The omelette was good and tasted like any traditional omelette. The majority of the side potatoes were burnt but the whole meal was still edible. The omelette would have tasted better with tomatoes. I also ordered the Belgian Waffle ($8) which comes with fruit on top but I got the fruit on the side so that I could add syrup on the waffle. PARKING -- Street parking but I think my friend and I found a parking lot behind the restaurant. Overall, the Leaf appears to be a popular restaurant with the locals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. While I don't live close to Wooster, I can definitely see myself visiting again if I'm ever in the area. **** - 86/150 total reviews in 2023 - 637 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 December 2023

    French Onion Soup

    First visit to The Leaf Restaurant and we're already planning on coming back next weekend and it's an hour and 15 minutes away from where we live. The food is AMAZING and the service is phenomenal! Megan C. was our server and she was extremely sweet and very knowledgeable about the menu items. I was in the restaurant business for almost twenty years and I'm probably one of the most nit-picky customers on earth and I couldn't find one thing that could have been better with the service or the food. My wife was floored I didn't criticize one thing! Honestly, we probably only eat out once every other month anymore because I know I can make it better at home and the service isn't ever close to what I expect and should receive. Thank you for proving to me there's still a restaurant out there that provides as high of service and food quality that i hope to receive and expect!

    Sunday morning breakfast. What we liked- * immediate seating * cool decor and ambiance * friendly staff * had the wet breakfast burrito - good portion with enough spice/flavor but not spicy hot. Pulled pork was quite good inside the burrito. * French toast was good. What we thought could of been better: * bacon served with the French toast was covered in a cold grease- as it was greasy and cooled off. * they were out of pastures.

    Adorable restaurant featuring some nice basic food. We enjoyed the dog hair onlette with cube potatoes and amazing hollandaise sauce. My French toast was pedestrian and served without butter and a small side of syrup. Not impressive. Great decor, good service.

    Found myself in Wooster around noon, and needed some lunch. Saw this spot on Yelp and decided to…read moregive it a try! Menu is soups, salads and sandwiches. From the looks of the space, they're a bar by night and lunch spot by day. Really cool old space with original hardwood floors, high cathedral ceilings and rustic charm. Ambiance was on point. Their menu is fairly unique. A number of custom house options that take traditional sandwiches and add stuff you wouldn't necessarily expect. I ended up getting one of their seasonal specials that is a play on a grilled cheese sandwich. It came on toasted, marbled, rye, with feta cheese, fresh, sliced jalapeños, fresh, sliced pineapple, and Swiss cheese. I always love, trying things that combine, savory, sweet, and spicy. So I was hoping for the best with this one, and it delivered. The sandwich came with hot waffle, fries, and a side of ketchup. Shout out to the two people working, as they were completely overwhelmed, but getting food out to tables regardless. I was expecting a pretty long wait time based on the orders ahead of me, but my food came out in under 10 minutes. I was impressed all things considered. My only small complaint is the pricing is just a little bit high for what you get. Especially a grilled cheese. It's just bread, pineapple, jalapeño, and cheese. I don't feel like that should cost $13. I wish the waffle fries came with it for that price. But they were an additional three dollars, as well as three dollars for a fountain drink. After taxes and tip, it was a little over $23. That's a pretty steep price to pay for what was supposed to be a simple lunch. I would definitely come here again, but not on the regular simply based on the high prices.

    A favorite hang out spot from my college days. Everything from Spoon tastes amazing. Visit this…read moreplace and try something new at every chance you get!
