    We had an incredible date night experience here the other night. Our table was next to a floor to ceiling window and we were in awe of the views, food, and service. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped guide us through the tapas and drink selection. We ended up sharing 4 tapas plates and a dessert to finish. Everything was exploding with flavor! Even the complementary olives. We are already planning our next visit back. 10/10 would recommend for date night!

    Best seafood in Grand Rapids since Charley's Crab closed! (Funny thing is, Leo's chefs came from Charley's!) Highly recommend the Seafood Pan Roast - it's mildly spicy, but it is to die for!
