  “I was able to walk in and sit at the bar on a rainy weekday, and it was a very cozy experience! Liked the burger a good bit and really enjoyed nestling into this spot.”

  “I really enjoyed dining here. The hostess and waiter were very nice and friendly. He recommended the cauliflower and the burger. Both of which were delicious. Ended dinner with some tea and the banoffee - so good! I’ll definitely be coming back here.”

  “This is truly the best restaurant group in NYC. The food never misses, and the service is always the absolute best at all of their locations. My friend and I were in need of a good night of wining and dining—we were seated at the bar, and …”

  “Had such a great experience at Joseph Leonard for a birthday dinner. We arrived very early for our reservation not expecting to get seated almost immediately. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. I had the duck special which was incredible paired with a wine that our server recommended. My boyfriend had the trout with farrow and leeks also incredible and cooked perfectly. Overall will be going back and thank you to our server and the maitre d’ for making our night so special!”

  “It's my favorite restaurant in the entire city. A little slice of wisconsin in the heart of Manhattan. Midwest friendliness with amazing food. They also play the best music. The ambiance is romantic yet homey at the same time. Keep it up little Wisco.”

  “I stumbled upon this hidden gem while hunting for a chicken sandwich, and it totally exceeded my expectations! The vibe is cozy yet classy with a cool modern twist, and the staff made us feel welcome immediately. The chicken sandwich, salad, and fries were all delicious. We walked in around 4:30 PM for a table of two and didn't have to wait, though just a heads-up: they were upfront about a strict 90-minute time limit since they had an upcoming reservation at 6PM.”

  “Perfect for a night out. Staff is very welcoming from the moment you step inside. Fed and beverages were delicious, I had the trout which was fresh and full of flavor. The polenta was stellar as was the cauliflower appetizer. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I look forward to returning.”

  “Gem of a restaurant. Tiny place with fantastic cozy/hip vibe, good food, and artsy team. We wanted a fun place to catch up with friends in NYC and hit the spot for warm intimate table of 4. Food was very good - we really enjoyed the cauliflower appetizer and trout pate snack. Cocktails were unique and excellent. For the main, we split a 28oz steak frites - well prepared. Server was funky and friendly. Overall, really enjoyed our experience. Few tables - book ahead. Recommend.”

  “Very small location and might be a little bit of wait but very good. Cute overall atmosphere and aesthetic. Service came out quickly but definitely again tight seating wise. We order the burger: food portion and good food. Overall recommend”

  “The waiter that helped me was great. Very charismatic and nice. He recommended me the croquet monsieur with mushrooms, poached egg on top. It was good. The only recommendation I would give as a dog owner and lover is that you can feel by the air that is not a dog friendly place. Too bad, because the sitting outside would be perfect and attract even more residents since NY has more dogs than people in Cleveland. Therefore I would recommend if you go with friends, but not with your fur friend.”
