    My girlfriend and I wanted to try a new spot and Leo’s had great reviews. We made a reservation for 8:15 on Feb 15th. We arrived 5 minutes early and they were very busy so there was a bit of a wait. We were seated around 8:25. We both ended up ordering the New York strip. It came with asparagus, potatoes and was topped with lump crab. The steak was very well seasoned and tinder but kinda fatty. The potatoes and asparagus were also really good and the lump crab was a nice touch. Our server was very nice and checked up on us frequently throughout our meal. I give the overall experience a 8.5 out of 10.

    Excellent time at OSHA. Service from Nick was exceptional and he offered delicious suggestions on the menu. The specialty rolls were very tasty and their homemade ginger red dressing was delicious. Always a pleasurable experiment at OSHA and saying hello to Leo.
