If you are in Annapolis be sure to visit Leo. Sit at the bar, order a old school cocktail from Sam, and be sure to ask Ben about bottles from local distilleries. Excellent food, great drinks, and outstanding people.

A step up for Annapolis and West Street. Nice atmosphere - a bit more upscale than you would expect. Nice wine list by the glass and bottle. Reasonable.Menu is a bit limited but what they do offer they do well. Farm to table. Had the catfish -excellent. Chicken a bit dry but nice sauce. Presentation was best I have seen in annapolis. Nice app selection. Service was excellent! Great deserts. Will be back.

Leo's is always a fabulous experience. Highly recommend! Wonderful food and wine list (there is a shorter one on the back of the food menu and a separate longer one). The service is top notch, as are the bartenders (drinks are outstanding), and it has a cute, cozy ambiance. Everyone on the team, starting with the owners, is friendly, professional, and strives to please. Leo's is one of the very few excellent restaurants in Annapolis. We are going twice this week ;)

We celebrated Valentine’s Day with dinner at Leo and it did not disappoint! Service was wonderful with a very friendly and attentive server. Tried the hummus and pork belly apps, both great! Enjoyed the pan seared chicken and coulotte steak entrées which were cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant for cocktails and dinner! Can’t wait to come back for their burger night soon.

Whoever made the Croquetas is either from or has spent time in Spain as they were phenomenal. The Chicken Breast and Catfish dishes were also excellent.

I had the most wonderful experience here tonight. I am breastfeeding my son who has severe food allergies and Hilary (one of the owners) was so lovely. She accommodated my needs and gave me so many options of things on the menu I could get that would fit my current diet. Most importantly she truly cared and understood how serious it was to me. On top of all of that, the food was outstanding. Best meal out I have had in a very very long time. Great service, very cute relaxing atmosphere…. 10/10 in my book!! I will be recommending to everyone. & thank you again, Hilary. Your kindness went a very long way :)Dietary restrictions: Extremely accommodating

Outstanding wine selection, delicious foods, and perfect service. I only ding the atmosphere because it looks closed when you drive by (tinted windows or something). So many people barely notice it's there. I highly recommend trying Leo for date night.
It's easy to miss this lovely, locally sourced restaurant, but you shouldn't. They have a great selection of food and drink and excellent service. My server, Ella, gave me great guidance, and I wasn't disappointed in a single thing I ordered. It seems to be a popular place for dates, and with its welcoming ambiance, I can understand why.

This is a fairly fancy restaurant, but they advertise as family friendly and truly are. We came with a 2 month old and were treated very well - they made space for her stroller and made us feel completely welcome. There was also a child at the next table who appeared to be 2-3 and they provided her with a high chair. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but it seemed like they intentionally put the families with kids together - if so, it was very smart since it puts less pressure on those families if the kids get fussy and allows the adults without kids to avoid them. The food was excellent! The Parker rolls were incredible - only complaint was that there were 4 of us and it would have been nice to have them either bring out 4 rolls or warn us that it only came with 3. We tried 3 of the sides - potatoes, Brussels sprouts with harissa, and broccolini. My favorite was the broccolini, but the rest of my family liked the Brussels sprouts best. For entrees two of us ordered the catfish, one ordered the risotto, and one ordered the steak. Everyone was thrilled with the entrees, which we sadly didn't remember to take pictures of since we were too excited to eat! We tried the bread pudding, coffee panna cotta, and raspberry tart for dessert. The general consensus was that the bread pudding was amazing, the raspberry tart was a very close second best, and the panna cotta would have been great without the comparison to the others but didn't rise to their level. The staff, especially our server, were all very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu.

The menu had fewer choices than many run of the mill Annapolis venues. However, everything was prepared exquisitely! The chef truly knows his craft! The brussel sprouts and broccolini were wonderful compliments to the fish and beef entrees. The mushroom risotto was so tasty. And definitely leave room for the raspberry tart and bread pudding-... best that I ever had. I suggest that you share the plates with your table so that you can enjoy the full range of flavors. The waiter was courteous and so helpful and knowledgeable about the menu preparations.

I absolutely love this place. The service is so amazing and I feel like family here! The chef is the best in Annapolis TRULY. I’m treated like a princess every time I come to Leo. 100/10 recommend!

We met a friend here after hearing how many locals have been enjoying Leo. All in all we left happy. The service was nice and helpful when we got served the wrong dessert and our two cups of tea only came with one tea bag. We loved the local sourcing of the food and some meals were great while others left us confused on the whole. If you only read this one thing - get the scallop appetizer. It was one of the best preparations of scallops I've had in recent memory. The grits appetizer was disappointing as it wasn't very flavorful and the spice didn't come through in just a dressing. My husband's catfish was tasty and prepared so well but then was overwhelmed by the topping. The griddled angel food cake itself was good but was served on basically a cup of applesauce which we found confusing. The chocolate ice cream was a lovely end to our meal.
