   Our server was friendly and welcoming but it took too long to get our drinks and appetizers. She forgot one of our drinks and it took at least 10 minutes before she remembered. By then we finished our meal and didn’t want it. The appetizer grits were lukewarm and looked like they had sat under warming light. I have had them before so even though they were amazing, they looked sad and were not as warm as I would have liked. Maybe the problems were bc we sat outside and she had tables in and out? Atill, our friends were blown away by the flavors of the meal and cocktails!!!

   The food and service was top notch... And it did not feel like they were rushing me... The service person, Colleen was very very nice and a wonderful hostess... To a first time person like myself to the area and learning about the food the Chef/owners and the location.

   Food was good, service was poor. Took an hour for the entree to come to the table and restaurant wasn’t crowded. Asked for salt and pepper which never came. Add in a 23% fee to all tables to provide benefits to staff. Why not just pay your staff appropriately or raise the price of the meal so at least you can tip according to the service you receive? Will not return.

   Food was good, service friendly and attentive. Surprised at the 23% added to cost, but it's just a little over the standard 20% gratuity so it was no big deal after I thought about it.

    The ambiance was awesome. Our server super nice and helpful. The food did come out slow, but I understand after the Covid pandemic staffing is harder for business owners. The food was mediocre for me and my daughters. The food didn't come out hot unfortunately, but management removed one of the entrees. Good customer service. I will definitely give Leah & Louise another try.

    I was VERY impressed with Leah & Louise. We had a reservation for outside, but it was so cold out, we were able to sit at the bar instead. The Bar manager Justin took wonderful care of us. Recommending drinks to go with our meals and talking with us about the concept for their drinks and the different shrubs and syrups that he makes. Also uses a lot of smoke for bourbon drinks...nice touch! I was a little concerned with the small amount of entrees available at first, but on closer inspection everything sounded like a home run. We started with the Down and Dirty grits and I have to say I'm not a connoisseur of grits (being a northerner), but I've had my fair share during my travels. I have never had grits this good. they were toothsome, but not hard, and packed with flavor, then add in the sweet and tangy marmalade and every bite was so satisfying. Then for entrees my wife had the stuffed quail (it had a more fun name, but I can't remember). That was like a thanksgiving dinner all in one (my wife's favorite food holiday) and I had the Mud Island - blackened catfish over catfish stew, etc...There are only certain places I'll order catfish. I'm not a big fan of fried fish so I tend to avoid it in general, but this was blackened and so flaky, it put that fish up on a pedestal. The slow burn of the spices kept going with heat, but not spicy, and the kick of the candied fresno chilis gave it all a sweet, vinegary pop. Every bite had something wonderful and new to find. It was an amazing adventure. We had read great reviews about Leah & Louise, but it never really hit our radar and I regret that it took us 2 years to discover that not only are the reviews on point, but I would call it my favorite restaurant so far in Charlotte. I cant wait to go back and work my way through what promises to be an amazing menu. Put your full faith in Leah & Louise, they won't let you down!

    Dined at Leah & Louise “A Southern Inspired Juke Joint” at Camp North End on Sunday, celebrating a belated birthday. We shared Leah’s Cabbage, Super Troopers (seasonal mushroom appetizer), Innocent Bywater (pan seared local fish with rutabaga purée, turnips & strawberry dill relish), and the Arthur Lou (orange custard, oat crust, meringue, strawberries & cinnamon) for dessert. Jelani and the entire staff were welcoming, well informed & enthusiastic about ensuring we had a memorable experience…and we definitely did!

    We enjoyed our first experience, fried chicken skins and cabbage were awesome! We have some second thoughts about the entree. Enjoyed it but think I would've liked the pork belly better. Our 2 daughters were with us and there isn't a lot on the menu for picky kids. Terrific place for a date or catching up w/ friends!

    Absolutely delicious! Great service by Abby. Sat outside so noise level wasn’t an issue. All Good except (and I should have looked), this morning when I looked over the bill (because it did seem high),There was a 23% gratuity added unbeknownst to me. Some “pledge” Something to make sure servers and cooks etc can all make a viable wage…..I LEFT A 25% tip on top of that. VERY irritated that the extra gratuity was not brought to my attention.

    Anniversary dinner. Had a little difficulty finding the restaurant because of road construction. Once there, everything was outstanding. The food was superb. We both loved the house salad, and the taste of the fish special and steak were exceptional.

    We absolutely love Leah & Louise, so going to the special event featuring Chef Ashleigh Shanti, seemed like a no brainer. It was a sublime experience! Every course was introduced and lived up to all of the “hype.” The music was terrific and set the tone for a very chill, very cosmopolitan, very delicious evening out. We are a married couple (of 17 years) and Leah & Louise always makes a perfect date night. These chef features are an excellent way for us to get to know local (or not so local) chefs, and to really appreciate Southern cuisine in new ways. Absolutely love it!

    Easter Prix Fixe 4 course was wonderful. My first time to Leah and Louise and did not disappoint. Chef’s creativity and barkeeper too, made for an excellent foodie experience. Pierre’s service warm and caring. Did I mention the fun North End vibe? Sugar and I look forward to next visit!!

    We visited for Leah & Louise's four course Easter dinner. All four courses were excellent, and we loved that each course offered several varied options. For the starter, we tried the smoked shrimp plate/ salad. It was delicious -- just the right amount of smokiness to it, citrusy, and was perfect light first course we wanted. Our server recommended a cabbage dish for the second course and it was out of this world. I never thought I'd say that about cabbage. The cabbage was soft but not mushy and laid (maybe cooked) in an asian inspired broth that made it really special. I had the blackened catfish for my mail dish and it was delicious -- a bit spicy, but not too much so -- and the flavored grits that came with it balanced out the spice perfectly. My husband had the pork belly for his entree and said it was great too. My dessert (bread pudding) was my only so-so dish. Not bad, just not my favorite (a bit too much ginger for my liking ), but my husband's fruit/citrusy tart more than made up for it. My husband was kind enough to share some of it with me, even though I'm sure he didn't really want to. The tart was my definition of a perfect dessert -- not too sweet, refreshing, and absolutely yummy. The service was perfect. This restaurant has a very relaxed feel to it. Our server was very friendly, yet professional, very attentive and well spoken and made some great recommendations. We love Leah & Louise for brunch, but had never been for dinner before. We were not disappointed. What a great way to share a special meal!
