Cocktails and patio vibes are always a good idea at Leon's in Decatur - Review - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Leon’s has a prime location just off the busy Decatur Square with a large, always-packed, shaded patio, where you can watch passersby clutching tiny shopping bags. The building used to house a gas station (hence the name) but has been transformed into a farmhouse-chic New American restaurant. Entrees like a decent, thinly sliced hanger steak and just-fine risotto mean you’ll walk away satisfied. But we usually use Leon’s as a cocktail hangout because they make seemingly odd combinations (like a roasted beet, tequila, and coffee vermouth concoction) taste like liquid gold. They don’t take reservations, so plan on a wait during the peak dinner rush. photo credit: Alan Maxcy Food Rundown Peppadews You get six of these little sweet peppers stuffed with goat cheese and a dash of basil. They’re only $6 and pretty decent for an appetizer. video credit: Juli Horsford Warm Hominy + Feta Salad This is one of their more popular salads for a reason. The chickpeas and chewy hominy are covered in a delicious, spicy chimichurri and have a nice zesty tang. Brussels Sprouts We’re on board with the standard take on this crispy, fried vegetable with a light balsamic glaze. But we’re not OK with the ranch dip they’re paired with since it drowns the good flavors out with run-of-the-mill buttermilk dressing. video credit: Juli Horsford Hanger Steak This thinly sliced steak is just your average steak. photo credit: Juli Horsford Risotto A skillet containing roasted cauliflower, capers, and mushrooms sounds good in theory. But in reality this is a serving of bland, warm mush. La Belle Endormie The cocktail menu changes frequently, but if this is available, get it. The slightly bitter cognac mixes well with the sweetness of the spiced pear, honey, and lemon." - Juli Horsford
