    Had a wonderful experience with a group of 8 - 4 adults and 4 children. Service was prompt and we all enjoyed our meals. All the appetizers were great, the pork belly was our favorite. I had the Salmon, the gnocchi with it was amazing. Highly recommend.

    Made the reservation 2 weeks in advance and was only able to get an 8:15pm reservation for 6 of us. I wrote in the note to notify me if we could come earlier. One week before the reservation I was already denied an earlier time slot. I wrote back and asked to let me know the day before or day of but never heard back. We arrived at 8:15pm for our reservation and were seated in a room all empty tables except for one that was already eating dinner. The room needs updating, music, and obviously we could have arrived much earlier. The bar area around the corner is a much better spot to have dinner. The slice of apple pie for dessert should have been served warm. Waiter was excellent. He is originally from Louisiana.

    The food is good but they either need new wait staff or more waiters as a 2 dish meal took 2.5 hours.

    We ate at Leonora for Christmas Dinner, and it was really good. The steaks were cooked as requested, the prix fixe menu had the right options for our party of 8. Our server was really sweet and ensured we had a good experience from beginning to end. This was our second time at Leonora - we’ll come the next time we’re in town.

    Honestly the service was subpar, with lack of knowledge of their own food or wine. There was missing menus, silverware, and the waitress forgot our wine pairing. The beef tenderloin on the Christmas ment was mediocre and burnt. Many people in our party felt ill after dining here. Very unfortunate.

    More expensive and half as good as Michelin star restaurants I've been to. $600 for 3 people to eat soup, salad, and steak.

    Food was above average. Tenderloin came out barely warm. Maybe because it’s “Vail” a place can charge $200/person for this menu but it certainly isn’t worth it. There’s nothing that makes this place twice as much as other restaurants in the Village or Lionshead. My advice, skip Leonora, eat somewhere else and save $100/person.

    The food was outstanding. The service was excellent. It’s expensive and the ambience of the dining room was just ok. When you’re spending that amount of money I would expect better ambience. It was a bit too noisy and I had to ask that the lights be dimmed a couple times. I would put linens on the tables and a candle/light in the center of the table. Perhaps add a rug to the room to dampen the noise and soften the atmosphere. The Sebastian is a beautiful hotel but this room was just o k. The food was delicious! Loved our servers.
