"We were seated 20 minutes after our reservation time, another 30 minutes to get menus, and 30 minutes more to get mediocre food. When we mentioned the problems to Tony, he basically blew us off and made feeble excuses. Three tries three strikes we won't go back or refer friends or clients."

"Limited menu for brunch. They were generous with champagne, but overall service was extremely poor and they didn't seem to have enough wait staff. We were charged for 5 brunches rather than 4 and they weren't concerned about mistake."

"Once again, we were treated to an incredible evening at Leon's. We had a group of 11 people and the table was set up to perfection. The service by Tony was outstanding and everyone raved about their dinners. The salads are always good. One person tried the clam chowder and raved about it. My sole was, as always, fabulous! We had a great evening and the background music really topped it off. We continue to think Leon's is one of the best restaurants in the desert!"

"Easter at Leon's! Need I say more? We arrived earlier than usual and the restaurant was filled with lots of families. As noon rolled around, the Easter Bunny entertained the children, and posed with the patrons, and those clad in Easter Bonnets arrived to liven the crowd. The staff is always accomodating, Tony is the consumate host, the food was delicious, the view - gorgeous. Our favorite venue for brunch, did it again!"

"I realize it was Easter Brunch and very busy. It seemed rather disorganized while waiting on a table. I'm happily surprised I recv'd my Open Table Points. When we arrived we told them we had reservations & the host wrote our first name on the list he had in his hand. Our resv was for 12:00, it was just about 12:45 when we were seated. The staff was friendly and kept water and champagne glasses full. The staff was working hard and were pleasant and engaging the whole time. The prime rib was delicious as were the Au'Gratin style potatoes. We also had lamb shank and roasted chicken, both very good as well. I will def be back on a day it isn't so busy. Leon's food is always good."

"We alway enjoy our time at Leon's. I am not big on ambiance, but it is "barny" in there. Service is good but not enough servers. They alway seem harassed and very hurried. We do enjoy it there though and always seem to come back."
