Beef & Leaf Cafe

Service was excellent. They accommodated my lunch partner worth her allergies. I thought that was nice!! Her salad looked excellent but she said the beef tips were under cooked. My daughter had the wedge salad and she enjoyed it. I had the chicken fried steak. It was not good!! Bland a chewy. My daughter tried and didn't like it either. We got the mac and cheese to share and that was really good. For the prices they charge it could be better. Our server was excellent and the atmosphere is nice.

We recently went out to dinner for an anniversary celebration at beef and leaf. I knew it would be good because Chef Laura is amazing. However, it exceeded all expectations. Food was delicious atmosphere was perfect and the service was excellent!

Came here to have a business lunch. They put a few tables together to accommodate the party size, however the tables are not long enough to fit two adults so my knee kept hitting the table leg. The service was great. Waiter was attentive and polite and tried to avoid interrupting our conversation. I ordered the fish and chips from a recommendation and the fish was dry and needed to be cut with a knife since it didn't flake. There were a lot of fries included, but they seemed to be previously frozen and weren't as crispy as I would have liked. I ordered a soda thinking they'd have fountain drinks, but they handed me a can and a glass with ice. After 72 hours I had food poisoning, which may be unrelated, but I won't be going back. Atmosphere inside is fine, but the business itself is located in a somewhat "sketchy" looking set of buildings.

Fried chicken was great. Beans were super. Grits were very good. Shrimp and grits were very tasty. Great experience all around, especially for their 2nd day open! Later update: Heater has been fixed! Crab and corn fritters app was super. Pork Ossobucco was really good, especially the polenta. Veggies (squash) were excellent. Mac and cheese was good.

We enjoyed our dinner very much. I had the Shrimp & Grits, although not traditional, it was very delicious. My husband had the Ossobucco, also very good. Pleasant atmosphere. The waitstaff were very attentive and friendly!

Lovely atmosphere and very good service. I sat outside and was properly attended to even though there were no other diners out there. My food was good, though not great. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, which was cooked perfectly, but the advertised "hot honey" for the sandwich was 100% buffalo sauce. It may have even been Frank's.... It wasn't bad, but I was expecting honey.

Wonderful dining experience without being pretentious. We just happened to be driving thru town on a Saturday evening and stopped for an early dinner. Our hostess and server were very welcoming and attentive. The restaurants wine and cocktail menu was extensive. We choseMisfits and Mavens Sauvignon for the evening. We chose two entrees and both servings were hearty. My husband always gets the steak and frites and he said by far Beef and Leaf out did what he has had on the Plaza and in Old Town in Abq. It was served with a mixed salad with a vinaigrette that complimented the plate. I was feeling adventurous and ordered the Pork Ossobucco with a red wine gravy, cheddar polenta and sautéed vegetables. This was an entree I have wanted to try and I am not sorry that this was my first. Fall off the bone fork tender and the gravy was amazing. The owner and chef was very visible and stopped by our table as we were leaving. Take a drive and try this cute spot out your taste buds will thank you!

We have gone 3 times. We were only able to get in once. The other times they said we needed a reservation. Even though the place was nearly empty. Didn't have enough room for 2 people. The only other time we did make it in the food was not good for the price rather go to blue window. Not any good food options for children so don't bother to take them.

My best friend took me out to dinner on a Saturday night. It was probably my first dinner out in 5 years and it was amazing. I had the lovely fish and chips. I was recovering from surgery so I ate half and saved the rest for later. It was perfect. Since my friend's beau was gracious enough to take me out to dinner, I paid with a verbal gift. It was an admiration dinner. Take time to admire what you get done each day. Once we started listing we were surprised how much we accomplished. Always admire your work. Let go of the next task. Laura stopped by to greet my hosts. It was a perfect night. Thank you Beef and Leaf. I'll be back. Homebound no more.

The cuts of meat: low quality and tough. The breading: weak. The sauces: disgusting. The menu: pretentious and annoying. How is this place still in business? Oh that's right, the insane prices.

I've eaten here twice, both times with reservations for dinner. The ambiance was relaxed and the decor is great. Everything we've had to eat there has been fantastic! The grilled pork stood out as some of the best I've had in a long time. Cooked just right with great flavor. The short rib empanadas were also wonderful, done in puff pastry, they were light and delicious appetizers. Our server was friendly, helpful, and made the experience great overall. Definitely a great new restaurant addition to Los Alamos especially for weekends when there are less options open!

The entire menu except Mac n cheese was gluten free. They have a dedicated gf fryer. Our server was very friendly. We asked for recommendations and he suggested Shrimp and Grits. It was amazing. Four jumbo shrimp, roasted red pepper and onions. Don't miss this!! Drinks - the bartender created a Mezcal drink which was amazing! Others got a Manhatten Project and an Old Fashioned. The really enjoyed them. And finally dessert....... We ordered Creme Brûlée, Chocolate Torte, and Lemon Almond cake. We all had a different favorite. Don't miss this spot!!!

Delicious fried chicken sandwich is out of this world! I wish I could eat at Beef and Leaf every day.

Food was really good. I highly recommend the Chicken & Corn chowder; very filling and tasty. Desserts were very delicious; favorite one out of the three was the brownie. Inside of restaurant is very clean and modern. Sat indoors but they have a really nice outdoor patio. They do, however, do a limited menu for outdoor seating (bar bites) during the time we went (around 12pm on a Wednesday) but no complaints about that. Service was fast and great. Would highly recommend as a good lunch spot during the week!

The first time I had a chicken sandwich was good then the next 2 times is was so dry. then i tried to order the mac n cheese last time with candied bacon, pretty sure it was just regular bacon I paid 4 dollars for and so small . Also pig and fig has it cheaper and bigger portions same owner. It's not fancy just cause it cost more. Your employees are sweet.

This was our fourth or fifth dinner at Beef and Leaf and the food was delicious, as always. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. Our server, Lane, was excellent. Highly recommend! We will be back.

Owner and Chef Laura Crucet has her latest hit restaurant in the middle of Los Alamos just off Diamond Drive near the golf course. Beef and Leaf does more than just tick all the boxes. Putting off your first visit means you will be that much older when you are amazed by the menu, wine selection, and ambiance, including the knowledgeable servers. Laura is usually present and makes the rounds to check on tables personally. The community on the hill is lucky to have such a gem.

This local restaurant is fabulous. It is a relaxed environment, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The flavors and plate choices are wonderful with fresh ingredients and great value. The wine list and cocktails are terrific. Waitstaff are very friendly and attentive. Tonight, Lane was especially caring and made us feel right at home. This is a highly recommended place to come enjoy a night out.

Bye happy to see a new restaurant in Los Alamos. We are there on the second day it was open. Food was terrific and servers, while busy, were helpful and kind. We'll be back!

Pathetic service. I made a reservation 6 hours in advance showed up on time 5:15 pm and was told to bad we are overbooked. All the front tables were empty at the time. The hostess was rude and basically said you are SHIT OUT OF LUCK. no apologies just to bad get lost. If this is what they call service I am glad to never eat there.
