Celebrated adult son’s birthday with family. Appetizers included the charcuterie board and candied bacon - enjoyed their bourbon flight with the seasonal Old Fashioned, Little Rye Lies and the WC Old Fashioned! All entrees were great. Finished with Whiskey Cake and candles!

The food was superb! The chef did an excellent job incorporating the wines into the menu even using wine reduction in the preparation. A great value, as well. Hard to beat the Westin Medical Center for gracious hospitality .

Leo’s River Oaks never disappoints! From the moment you step into this elegant restaurant you are greeted with smiles and exceptional service.
