    Fantastic food and service. Outstanding wine selection. A bit noisy from a background standpoint but still managed to carry a conversion without an issue. Convenient valet parking too. We will definitely be back.

    We’ve dined here a few times and always a wonderful experience. Impeccable service, great ambiance, and amazing food hot from the kitchen. And I didn’t have to park my car because the valet knew how to drive a 6-speed standard!! That just never happens!

    From the valet to fabulous host, to our server, and support staff we were delighted by their friendliness, promptness and expertise. The food? Outstanding! You know you’re in for a treat when the bread is special, plus olive tapenade. Apps of local clams and burrata were perfect with cocktails. Veal osso buco served with creamy polenta—so rich and so much slow cooked flavor. It’s 8 AM, I’m going in for leftovers soon! Chocolate pot de crème and assorted gelatos with an espresso martinis to end the spectacular indulgence. We three will be back!

    My date and I ordered the veal and lobster risotto. The presentation of both dishes were spectacular. The veal was cooked to perfection and the lobster risotto flavor was out of this world. Ambiance is always nice there too.

    The food, portion size and wait staff were excellent. The tables are too close together. We felt cramped in the corner next to a loud party of four. We have eaten at this location through most of its iterations starting with Cranberry Goose, Cranberry Moose. Abbicci (never went to Grille 43). Leonessa’s food in among the best, but the ambiance could be better with more space between tables.
