Love this place and had to go back and visit, since I've moved to LA recently. I was saddened to see the Friday night crowd it used to have has died down due to the larger SF issues post pandemic. It's such a beautiful place with great service and the food quality remains to be outstanding. Go to Leo's if you're looking for a great place to have a night with visitors, coworkers or friends!

Amazing food, drinks and service. Oboy drawback is that they close at 9 pm and starts packing up and closing already at 8 pm so not the nicest finish to our dinner. In conclusion go there, food and drink was 10/10!

A classic San FrAn joint. Dark and sexy. With amazing food and drinks. I NEVER miss it when in town. Really, never.
Can only comment on oysters, cocktails and ambiance. Super cute spot, cool bar top - great for photos - we took several. Oysters were great! Fresh and flavorful. Our friend even tried her first oyster here tonight. Cocktails were unique and delicious ~$16/each. But the main reason we will be back is due to the service of the bartender, Heidi. She was awesome - friendly, efficient and just gets it!

I loved the ambiance! beautiful lighting and good vibes.The food was a 3 good but lacking a bit for me personally. I really loved how chill it was on a Friday night. The food cme quick and the waitress was kind enough to snap a photo for us. Was not our original plan to stop here but I'm glad we checked it out.

Went here with my husband for our anniversary dinner and could not be any happier. I mentioned to our waitress that we were celebrating and she immediately bombarded us with goodies! The caviar bites were absolutely delicious! We ordered a few cocktails...cant remember the names but they were both DELICIOUS. We weren't planning on drinking much but those cocktails sure were tempting! For dinner we ordered oysters and the calamari to start...both delicious. The fish & chips and risotto were simple but made really well. I would definitely order that risotto again. The service might have been what really made the night special. We just felt welcomed and taken care of from beginning to end!

Was in the mood for oysters and this place was the first to pop up on Google, and I'm glad it did! The oysters were fresh, cocktails were absolutely delicious and our server was so sweet and attentive. I would highly recommend this place just on their drinks alone!

Great place too get dinner and drinks for two. I got the easy money cocktail which was lovely and minty. My husband had the mai Thai. We both had the green goddess salad and shared the barata. They were both delicious but the green godess salad had a bit more feta than we expected. Both very good, but a little too much dairy when combined. I had the fish and chips as the main and he had the lobster both. We both liked our choices a lot. He used the chocolate mousse for dessert and gave me a bite which was delicious. I had a bubble bath cocktail for my dessert which was a nice way to finish things of with a lovely lavender fizziness.

I want to give Leo's a 4 star because its super cute inside and seems like a great spot to have drinks and appetizers BUT DON'T ORDER DINNER!!!! I seriously REGRET IT and thats where we made the mistake and why they are getting 3 stars. Made a reservation for dinner around 7 and was glad that I did because the tables filled up fast. The tables are SMALL and very close together. So if you order 5 things, even if you ask them to space them out (which apparently they don't listen or care), they seem to bring them out pretty fast leaving you with ZERO room on the table. *Ordered drinks, The Bubble Bath and another (can't remember then name but was on the drink menu) both were VERY sour but we still managed to drink them. We didn't bother to order another or any other drink for that matter, because after watching several people faces when taking a sip of their drinks...they thought they were sour too! *Ordered all 5 of the featured Oysters x 2. They were tasty and fresh but literally 5 minutes into getting the oysters (which come on your typical oyster tray with ice etc) the Deviled eggs came out and there was literally NO ROOM for them. So, we had to move our candle to the ledge (which thankfully we were sitting next to) *Deviled eggs with fried Oyster...the price you see is for ONE deviled egg. Im sorry but for $6 I am not sure why there wasn't an order of 2 especially since the fried oyster was so small we barely noticed it was there if it wasn't for the crunch. (Queue up the next 2 appetizers to be brought out with literally 2 minutes in between them-so much for asking them to be SPACED OUT!!!) *Buttered Rolls with compound butter. Tasty but they were literally a 4 pack of Kings Hawaiian Rolls with butter and herbs. They were $8 so I won't complain but I literally could have made this at home. *Leo's Breakfast (I believe it was called) SUCKEDDDDD! It was supposed to be a "waffle" with burrata, smoked salmon and caviar. I don't remember the price but I think it was about $25 and it was really BAD! This waffle was bland AF!! No fluffy waffle texture and seemed more like a stale flattened english muffin. The burrata was bland and smeared on like thin layer of cream cheese. And the smoked salmon was no better quality then going to a bagel shop and getting a lox bagel. The "caviar"....literally not even 1/2 a teaspoon. Waste of money and taste buds. ***NOW THE WORSE THING EVER..."DINNER"**** I ordered the fish and chips. Simple right..NOPE! The fish had a slimey, soggy texture inside while the batter was crisp but bland and greasy AF on the outside. The cod literally fell apart with every attempt at putting it on my fork, not because it was so fresh and flaky but literally because it seemed like they took cod scraps and tossed it in batter. HORRIBLE! I barely ate 2 bites before calling it quits and sparing my stomach from yacking that shit up! Fries...really tasted like some store brought Ore Ida "restaurant style" fries. They were crispy, but bland almost stale. My BF ordered the salmon "burger" OMG WHAT A JOKE! We first thought it would be a nice salmon filet on a bun. When it came out it wasn't and it looked like a "salmon cake". We assumed this salmon cake would be flavorful and maybe something like a "cod or fish cake" NOPE! It was literally mashed or canned salmon which looked like straight up cat food, formed into an over sized (in diameter) and1/4 inch flat (in height) patty that was battered and fried to holy hell. The batter tasted burned and the "salmon" was flavorless. When we thought ok it would be like a "cod of fish cake" we expected maybe some chopped onions, peppers etc..NOPE Just cat food dredged in batter and fried. The flat patty was too big for the STALE AF bun that they put it on, that for some reason had grill marks on the top probably in an attempt to mask the staleness. DO YOURSELF THE FAVOR...Stick wtih the oysters and maybe champagne or wine. The oysters wer
I wanted to love this place. But you barely get much to eat leaving with a 3 digit per person tab. I love oysters and they were good. Had wine. Can't comment on the cocktail. I love a good fidi spot, but this did not hit for me. I wasn't wow with the decor either. Tropical theme. Too busy for my taste. I know. It is all about over the top now right. Don't eat the food, eat the wall paper.

Well, we're very sad about her experience last night Somehow this place went from being very Manhattan-esq vibe to some thing unrecognizable both from me, food standpoint, service, and not as high end as it used to be.

At midday I found myself pretty hungry and in city on a rainy day. I remembered this place from an Instagram post months ago and had been wanting to check it out for a while. It did NOT disappoint! I'm a sucker for moxy and this place has plenty. Everything on the menu is top notch - they do a great spin on the deviled eggs (try both, but the fried oyster definitely stole the show), and the diamonds and pearls oyster was addictive. The service was stellar, I even stayed for dessert. Someone really put tender love and care into making sure this place was setup just right. Whoever you are, I thank you friend. I'll definitely be back!

I absolutely love Leo’s. The bar is so much fun to sit at and have a drink and the food is also fantastic. Personally I don’t eat oysters but their non oyster menu is popping. They can make any cocktail regardless of if it’s on the menu. Can’t wait to return.
