Leaf - Cleveland

Waited 30 mins before even getting a water or serviced when I had a reservation and was forgotten. Then another 30 mins for the appetizer , The business wasn't even busy enough to be that slow. I went at 8 and didn't leave until 10:30.

Do not book a reservation at this restaurant as it is out of business. How can OpenTable make a reservation for a restaurant that is not even open? We had theater tickets that night and had to find another restaurant before the show which was not easy.

I was excited to find this restaurant when I was doing a staycation in downtown Cleveland. The food and drinks were great. The service was really lacking. It took forever to order the waitress messed up orders and drinks. But the food was so great. I highly recommend it 715 730.

I visited this restaurant with my best friend for dinner, and we had a fantastic experience. Although there was just one server, she managed three tables and some patrons at the bar exceptionally well. The food was delicious—I particularly enjoyed the lamb chops, and the pepper stew was also excellent. There was a generous serving of Fufu too! The portion sizes were quite satisfying. The drinks were not only tasty but also visually appealing. The Impress Me cocktail was exceptional and definitely looks great in photos. I’ll definitely return; we had a blast. Plus, there was even a small dance floor!

I also received a glass of wine that was old and spoiled. I took one sip and decided not to touch it again. Although the server was nice, they informed me that I would still be charged for it. I ended up paying $14 for a glass of wine that I didn't drink at all. Additionally, I was charged $28 for my daughter's cold lamb stew. To top it off, there was a mandatory 20% gratuity added for two people, one being an adult and the other a child. I heard that the owner was present but didn't come around to check on the tables, only interacting with the staff and one woman at the bar. Overall, I was very disappointed with the experience and do not plan to return. My daughter had been looking forward to having African cuisine, and even the crème brûlée turned out to be disappointing. I paid full price for everything but was left feeling unhappy about it.
