The minute we entered the door, the service from everyone was exceptional. Special shout out to Danny, our server, who presented the menu options with such passion & enthusiasm. Amine Laabi was kind enough to stop by to talk to us as he helped us decide on our final choices. We decided on a shared menu for 2, which I highly recommend: marinated peppers/ olives/ pickles, sardines on toast, ricotta brown butter, octopus on a bed of white bean purée, tagliatelle ragu, & last night's special - capellini with lobster. Everything was scrumptious & decadent while plated beautifully on what seemed like my grandmother's heritage dinnerware. We were so full that we opted out on dessert but the options all sounded delicious. The ambiance is warm & inviting with its eclectic, vintage decor. We will be back - I highly recommend Leila & it's Mediterranean cuisine❣?

Très belle découverte! Une très bonne table fidèle à sa promesse. Savoureuse cuisine méditerranéenne, excellent service & bonne ambiance. Tout était fin, délicieux, bien apprêté, sympathique & convivial. Les plats sont à partager, nous avons choisi les moules sur toast, la salade amère, les joues de morue, le bar noir, la cuisson était parfaite & nous avons été bien conseillés pour le vin. On y retournera pour goûter à des plats signature & d'autres nouveautés. Ouvert depuis à peine deux mois, cuisine abordable à essayer absolument.View more
