Léonie

This experience was awesome. The ambience, food, and service was top tier. The cocktails (tiramisu martini) and scotch selection were great, and the coursing was very well paced. Josh, the manager, came to speak to us, and explained the menu, views being on the 20th floor, and breakdown of the food. Russel took care of our table, gave us the explanation of each dish, and helped us with our wine pairing. Overall, 10/10. Will be coming back, and would love to keep experiencing what Léonie has to offer going forwards.

Absolutely amazing at service- SO impressed with the waiters and enviorment and rooftop resteraunt!!! Immediately the vibes were amazing because Javier went out of his way to walk us to the resteraunt! We were then met with outstanding service immediately. I had the crab cake (10/10), and others had the pasta. I will definitely come again since the area is so nicely decorated and cozy. One of my favorites in Dallas for sure!

We did the prepaid 3 course meal and I would never come back! We waited 30 minutes after our reservation time to get bread and our first drink. (They were not super busy so it was surprising, when there are a ton of waiters/waitresses walking around) Food was sub par. Not very good if being honest, but we were just hungry! Bread was said to be sourdough, definitely was not. Wine and rose was decent, but definitely disappointed with their options. Ricotta cheese had no texture, tasted like cream cheese. Salad was skimped and we got half a plate. For the main course, the steak was chewy and tasteless and my “prawns” dish consisted of ONLY ONE shrimp! Honestly so disappointing. One of the desserts was decent, but the other was still frozen. Honestly, we would never come back to eat here! Save your $$$ and go elsewhere.

This place is a literal dream!!! The decor and atmosphere is top tier. Service was impeccable and food was delicious. Came on a Monday night for the “Taste of Léonie” and it was not very busy, so we were able to take plenty of pictures and even check out the little shop by the pool. This is the kind of place people dream of having lunch or dinner. For Primo, I ordered the hot honey & fennel ricotta - it was creamy with that delightful hint of sweet and spicy. My friend ordered the Caesar salad and it looked so creamy and crisp; she said it was one of the best Caesar salads she’s had. For Secondo, we ordered the 8oz HWD strip - it was good - not great. I ordered medium rare, but it was closer to rare (I didn’t mind too much and it still tasted good), but my friends was definitely more Medium well cooked. The strip had grit on one side of it, so I just cut that part off, but other than that, it was a good cut of meat and flavorful. I enjoyed the sunchoke purée with it - it was reminiscent of a chimichurri. The star of the show though - the Mille-Feuille!!!! The pistachio with the tart cherries and sweet sugar coated puff pastry - literally was on a way one ride to heaven. It was a flavor explosion on my tongue and I will be back specifically just for that!

Looking back at my photos, I’ve already decided I must return at sunset. I just know the views will be giving “main character energy” over dinner. Let me start with the bad news, because overall I actually had a great time. First: the pricing. My tiny drink cost more than my entire pizza. Twenty dollars for a drink the size of a toddler’s fist. Meanwhile, my husband’s Old Fashioned was also $20… so either his drink was a steal or mine was a crime. And the pizza? Eighteen bucks. Make it make sense. Second complaint: the décor. They put booths right up against the windows, blocking the city view like it’s a state secret. If you’re going to have skyline real estate, let the skyline do its job. Kessaku (in the National Building) gets this right. Now, onto the good stuff. We had a rocky start because the restaurant forgot to assign us a waiter. But Isaac and Josh swooped in like hospitality Avengers and saved the day. The drinks were fine, but the food? The food body‑slammed my expectations. Every dish was layered with flavor like they were trying to win a culinary Jenga tournament. From the bread with fig vinegar, to the appetizers, to the little surprise bites, to the main course—everything was a hit. The honey and pistachio pizza was salty, sweet, and then suddenly an orange mid‑note came in like a plot twist. And the NY strip? Served with sunflower stalk three ways. I didn’t even know sunflower stalk had one way, let alone three. It was a full-on edible adventure, and I think I may have found my new favorite restaurant in Dallas. I can’t wait to see what they put on the next menu.

The atmosphere is great, however, the view is limited. There are only a few tables and chairs there are actually close enough to the windows that overlook Dallas and if you do get a table by the window, then your back is towards the city. The food is average and the taste is not spectacular. Not sure if I would go back, maybe….

I recently dined at Leonie, and it was an exquisite experience from start to finish. Nestled on the 20th floor of a downtown Dallas hotel, the restaurant offers breathtaking views that perfectly complement its culinary delights. The CHICORY CAESAR and HWD BEEF TARTARE were simply divine, each bite bursting with flavor and freshness. But the true star of the show was the day dried striploin – an absolute masterpiece of tender, succulent perfection. The ambiance of Leonie is elegant yet inviting, creating the ideal setting for a memorable dining experience. From the impeccable service to the expertly crafted dishes, every aspect of our meal exceeded expectations. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Leonie is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking exceptional cuisine and stunning views in downtown Dallas. A five-star rating is well-deserved for this culinary gem

Had an amazing experience celebrating my engagement. Isaac was our waiter and was exceptional. Highly recommend.

Had pasta, here, this evening. Great views, since it's located on the rooftop. Dining at night is the best with the magnificent views of the city all around. The food was mediocre, in my opinion. My pasta was a bit on the salty side. The customer service was charming, but not too attentive. Lovely aesthetics and atmosphere. Located inside Hotel Swexan, on the 20th floor, I really enjoyed this experience with the beautiful city lights glowing at night. I'll come back next year!! 4 Stars!

Pretty average food, pizza was good, and view was hard to beat. Solid for the price. Prob wouldn't go again except that it's across the street from me if that tells you anything. Againn, cool date spot, not the best food.

We had a great time doing the Tea at Hotel Swexan. The atmosphere within Leonie was excellent and the staff were all extremely friendly. We got the Noel tea and an English breakfast tea which were both of high quality and tasted great. The food that they bring with the tea was also all very good. The scones were phenomenal and we really liked almost all of the middle tray finger foods. The desserts had great attention to detail and were also of high quality. We were blown away by this experience and would definitely come back.

This review has nothing to do with the service, it was great. The food was terrible. The steak tastes like a boiled piece of meat - no flavor. The caesar salad's dressing is water. Also, a Tito's and soda is $20 and they tried charging $27 for a tequila soda. The best part of the meal was the bread. Save your money, go anywhere else.

The food, service, atmosphere, and over all experience was EXCELLENT! Such a fun place for a private event or fun meal.
