A recent remodel was truly transformational. Now cozy, warm and romantic, it is beautifully adorned with color and light to match the immensely creative menu and stellar service.

It was a shopping night ant the mall and we reserved with OpenTable at Whiskey Cake for dinner. The hostess was very friendly and the waitress was an absolute professional. She made a recommendation for my wife and was on top of everything we could have wanted. The iced tea was surprisingly refreshing. I had the New York strip with potatoes and it was cooked perfectly with a perfectly brazed crust and warm pink center. The housekeeping was great and I feel it was a perfect value for the quality. I would recommend my friends and family to go and will definitely be back.

Leo’s River Oaks never disappoints! From the moment you step into this elegant restaurant you are greeted with smiles and exceptional service. The live music is a bonus and a perfect accompaniment to the experience! Our server Manny is committed to outstanding service. He is attentive, professional and friendly! The Executive Chef is phenomenal. His presentation , creativity and enthusiasm for his craft shines through every course! My husband and I have frequently visited Leo’s for special occasions as well as date nights. We have been treated with such care during all our visits! There is not one bad thing that I can say about this special place. Our suggestion: Make it a priority to try Leo’s !

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 .

    We had a very enjoyable evening. Everyone ordered something different and we were all very pleased with our food. I ordered the pork chop which was extremely tender and so big I got to share some with everyone. This was our second time to dine there and we will definitely return.
