Review by Susanna Rice

December 03, 2024

Dining at Leeward was a delightful experience! The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between cozy and trendy - ideal for a special evening. We started with the gnocco frito, which was an irresistible blend of flavors. The chicken liver mousse followed, creamy yet light enough to enjoy fully. For the main course, I opted for the lobster bucatini fra diavolo; it was undoubtedly one of the finest pasta dishes I've tried! Don't skip dessert, especially the panna cotta - it's simply divine. Be sure to book a reservation; this place fills up fast! 🌟
