"We dined at Leonardo 's in April as a birthday celebration, the couple we were with are regulars, but this was our first visit. Although it is a small restaurant, it does not feel cramped, in fact I prefer a snug restaurant, rather than those that appear like a school dining room.I would highly recommend Leonardo 's and here is why : 1) Friendly warm welcome on arrival, the staff are genuinely friendly.2) Table was well laid out with a complimentary bowl of olives which my fellow diners said were delicious, but after having a traumatic experience when I was coerced into eating an olive by my geography teacher in 1970 when olive oil was something you put in your ear, it makes shudder to see people eat them. There was a delicious complimentary plate of bruschetta that was full of flavour.3) Menus were provided and drinks order taken within 5 to 10 minutes of our arrival.4) Our waiter politely asked after 10 to 15 minutes if we were ready to order, He was helpful in explaining dishes and giving recommendations.5) Our first course arrived after about 10 minutes, I had squid in a chilli and tomato sauce fabulous, decent quantity of squid and sauce was just spicy enough cause a little perspiration on the brow.6) For my main course I had Pollo Gorby, chicken breast and prawns in a mushroom, brandy and cream sauce, served with rustic chips. The chicken was moist and tender and sauce smooth and rich, and full of flavour. Excellent!7) Feeling full I chose lemon sorbet for dessert, the sorbet was served inside a hollowed out frozen lemon. Just sharp enough and a great dessert to finish a meal.8) My fellow diners were all delight with their food and service.9) Some reviewers have said the waiters were perhaps a little over zealous, but could not fault them. Friendly and attentive to our requirements.All in all an excellent evening. I thought the timeliness of the serving of our meal was just right. Hard to fault."
