Leo Annapolis

Had a wonderful dinner here on the day before Valentine’s Day. The focaccia with apple butter was really fantastic, as was the Caesar salad (breadcrumbs were a really nice touch). For the entree the carbonara was one of the best I’ve ever had. Really balanced and rich flavors coming through. Highly recommended! The gimlet was excellent shoutout to the bar tender!

Wonderful all the way around! Very unique menu. Nothing that says same old same old...Outstanding, started with the best roasted oysters that I have ever had! Next, the poached pear salad. Our mains, Susquehanna Snakehead, milk poached, ginger, scallion, sushi rice. Chicken Roulade, mushroom duxelles burnt onion Louise. Both, delicious, and incredible flavors. Service as good as our meal. Menu is hyper seasonal and meets every culinary need and want. Definitely coming back!

Foodies, finally a dining experience worth sharing in Annapolis!! My daughter and I visited yesterday @ 5:30 pm. By the time we left it was nearly full (on a Tuesday), so obviously others have discovered how special Leo is. First, the cocktails were delicious (GnA and a gimlet)! We began with the squash and burrata with focaccia, which was perfect and told us we were in for many happy mouthfuls. Being a vegetarian, I had the mushroom ragout, which I understand is one of the chef’s faves, and it was fabulous! My daughter chose the smashburger. She LOVED it, and I can attest that the fries are fantastic. The brussels side was top three I’ve had in as many years — just so flavorful. We ended with the PB mousse and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Don’t know whose ice cream they use, but it was amazing. Best dining experience I’ve ever had in Annapolis. There are seafood dishes if that’s your fancy, and I’m sure they are yummy too.

I had a great experience at Leo Annapolis. Our server, Sydney, was amazing…attentive without being overbearing and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was pretty good, with solid flavors that left us satisfied. What really stood out was the ambiance: the decor is stylish, warm, and inviting, making the whole dining experience even better. Overall, a place I’d definitely recommend for good food, great service, and a nice atmosphere.

Best food I’ve had in the longest time. Their duck was outstanding, wine was amazing. Our server, Emmett, recommended dishes and the wine we had, which is what made the entire experience. He was top tier and the meal matched!! Can’t wait to come back. And get the butternut squash appetizer!

First time visiting Leo’s and it did not disappoint! Loved the atmosphere, service was great, and the food was absolutely amazing!! I got the mushroom pasta dish and my friend got the steak and fries, we paired it with an Italian red wine (it was sooo good!). Probably one of the best vegetarian pasta dishes I have had in a while— it was flavorful and fresh, portion size was great too. For dessert we had the banana pudding cheesecake, it was not too sweet or heavy, which is what I like. Definitely recommend this restaurant if you enjoy amazing food and service.

Love how Leo sources locally. While there are not many vegan options, the fried tofu and mushroom ragout were delicious. Unique presentation for the fried tofu! The vegan chocolate ice cream with vegan whipped cream resembled the flavors of a chocolate cream pie - very good. The atmosphere was nice and our service was good.

10/10 First impression - the place is stylish, elegant, and yet cozy. I was welcomed with a big smile from the host. Dining alone, I opted to eat at the bar. The bartender was friendly as I inquired about a bubbly mocktail. He suggested Take It To Darrell’s, and boy was that delicious (greedy me would have preferred a bigger glass). My curiosity was piqued with the Golden Crispy Grits. A+ on creativity and execution. It was very unique to a Seattleite like me. However, the spotlight ultimately goes to the Snakehead dish. My oh my, I love the symphony of different flavors and textures: the sweetness from the corn, the freshness of the cherry tomatoes, the snakehead cooked right, the sauces, to the micro cilantro for a well-rounded meal. I finished the night with the Peanut Butter Mouse guilt-free (it’s vegan, yay!). The staff was warm and attentive. I felt special that night. I was treated like it was my birthday. Given it was a quiet late Monday night, but I can only imagine it would be extra special if you’re celebrating an occasion. My only predicament after I dined with Leo Annapolis is that I live in the West Coast. I still reminisce about my dining experience there. I can't wait to go back to Baltimore and try the other dishes!
