“One of the best brunches I’ve had this year!! This fantastic Mediterranean restaurant in Murray Hill blends bold flavors with seasonal ingredients to make unique dishes like Pork Shawarma Benedict or Steak & Eggs Kebab. I love eggs benedict and theirs is exceptional! Not to mention the Black Garlic Hummus and Jumbo Lump Crab Ceviche are now two of my favorites in the city. The flavors are unmatched!! And you can’t go wrong with a spritz or tropical Negroni. They also had a DJ setting the mood when we went, plus a cozy, intimate downstairs area to chat with friends and connect more privately. What a great experience!!”
“We really loved our Brunch visit to Leonetta. Friends recommended we stop here and it was a marvelous experience. We were over-the moon for the Hummus, Steak Kabobs and French Toast. It was just fabulous. Our Server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and just took exceptional care of us. The atmosphere was very relaxed, with a DJ playing music (for brunch!), but you could have quiet conversations with your party, without feeling overwhelmed by other parties. We would easily go back again! (Go check out the downstairs level. It has a very cozy fireplace and intimate lounge feel and a full bar)”
“Had such a lovely experience at Leonetta for Sunday brunch with the girls. The atmosphere is bright, chic and very social, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a slow weekend moment in NYC. We tried the $50 brunch prix fixe which was a great value and felt like a full curated experience. It included black garlic hummus for the table, a delicious entrée and the highlight for us was the spritz bar where you can customize your own cocktails. Such a fun and interactive touch that really elevates the brunch vibe. A special thank you to the General Manager Ditmar who was incredibly welcoming, along with the entire team. The hospitality made us feel truly taken care of from the moment we arrived. Definitely a perfect place for a girls Sunday brunch. Already looking forward to coming back.”
“Amazing drinks, oysters, and pasta. The vibes were amazing. My only negative comment is we had a 530 res and when we showed up restaurant was empty (as expected) but they refused to let us sit down until the full party was there. The lack of flexibility was a bit uptight given the place was empty, But our waitress was absolute amazing - very fast and friendly 10/10. Def coming back”
“Had an early dinner on Valentine’s Day with friends. We had a reservation but were seated once our entire party was present at the restaurant. Staff were very friendly and pleasant! Our server was attentive and provided great service. The spacing between tables upstairs was adequate as well. The downstairs area is perfect for taking pics/videos to spice up your social media. Now to the quality of the food - the appetizers were good. Highly recommend the hummus! The drinks were impressive as well. However, the menu did not provide enticing entrees, main meals were underwhelming, and overpriced for its portion size. This would not be my first or second choice when selecting a Mediterranean restaurant in the city. While it has a great ambience and atmosphere, it does not justify the entree prices or subpar quality of their main entrees.”
