We had a fabulous experience at The Leopard for my husband’s birthday. One of our group of four was delayed about 20 minutes due to a flight issue, yet we were promptly seated without him so that he could join us when the flight issue was resolved. We appreciated being seated despite our party not being complete!
The night we went, there was some kind of private event going on so we had to sit outside. However, the outdoor seating was lovely - the best outdoor dining experience I’ve had yet in the city! It was a warm evening and yet the mosquitoes didn’t bite me to death, and the turf grass was a really nice touch.
Our server was incredible. She was a true professional. She had excellent recommendations and she also sent over an excellent sommelier when we were deciding on wine. The wine was fantastic - a smoky, earthy French wine that I don’t recall the name of (forgot to snap a pic of the bottle 🤦♀️) and the sommelier steered us in a perfect direction.
While the pre-dinner cocktails and dishes themselves came out slowly due to the private event, the staff was very accommodating and expressed their apologies. The food really made everything perfect.
For dessert, everyone got something sweet except for me — I had their cheese plate. Highly recommend.
Definitely recommend going here for a special event! And you need a reservation! All in all, it was lovely.

Our reviews had over 37 million views last year. We do not get paid we just love to eat and have fun. We really love The Leopard at Des Artistes. Love it This is a great place to eat. The building used to be a hotel for artists but now is a high end condo bldg. The Resturant was run by the artists for years, but now is run by a very high end group. First class room, first class service and the food is out of this world. Started with the marinated anchovies that were bright but not too strong. Just right. Love the meatballs app and the black truffle custard with asparagus. Both are must haves. I had the spaghetti carbonara which had just the right amount of sauce and huge chunks of homemade bacon. Really good. She had the old family Lasagna recipe which was full of flavor and great texture. We had many desserts. One of the best was prepared tableside. It is a custard poured over fruit. I do not know the name but it was really good. It was a beautiful evening and we will be back again for sure. LOVED IT. Check out all of our reviews.

My friend and I decided to celebrate our birthday here and it was absolutely the right place. The ambience is perfect. We followed the advice of the staff and ordered most of the food and the service impeccably.
Will definitely want to come back for other meals.
Enjoyed a prix fixe menu during restaurant week. It's a cozy, relatively small, culinary joint with a rustic theme. Only half way into the dinner, did I notice their murals along the wall, which I believe they are also known for. The food was very good and I was satisfied with the portion size. Service was impeccable. I'm not cultured enough to understand the concept of a coat check. Therefore, I was glad to find out their coat check was optional. Overall a fine dining experience.
The food was amazing and I cannot say enough about the service. This was the first fine dining experience I’ve had & I don’t know if it can be better. The waiter was so kind and knowledgeable about the wines and gave us a wonderful recommendation for our meal. He really took care of us and we were able to meet the chef. I highly recommend the risotto. It is a life changer!
Ran into hellacious traffic getting into the city, we were too late for our reservation at another restaurant. We were given a lovely outdoor table. It was 6:40, the show was at 8. Our outstanding server, Alessandro, said we would make it, as did the Maitre’D. We did. The food was fabulous, the cocktails delicious, the experience excellent. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you, Alessandro !
I was just at your restaurant the other day with my mom and her friend, I must say that the food was mind blowing! Delicious, and I know that I will be thinking about it for a long time. I can't wait to go back! The crudo di pesce is perfection!
The Leopard is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. It’s my husband and I’s go to for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. The service is always spectacular and the food is really thoughtfully made and delicious! I can’t wait to visit again.
We enjoyed a perfect evening/meal, the pasta, fish and chicken were superb. The service and attention to detail exemplary, our go to restaurant in NYC for fine dining.highly recommend.
A superb dining experience from start to finish. Professionally orchestrated from coat check, to decanting our wine, to the tableside fileting of our sole. Impeccable table service.
We look most forward to returning on our Springtime visit to Manhattan.
A sublime and quaint restaurant, with incredible paintings all over. The jazz during Sunday brunches is worth visiting for as the food and service are unmatched. Each of the servers is particularly attentive to every request. The restaurant goes above and beyond to provide the perfect blend of food, ambiance, and service!
Loved the winter truffle risotto so much we ordered another one- and waited the 25 minutes to get it. Sadly the pork chop and chocolate desert were huge misses, though the olive oil cake was devine.
Great service and wine menu make this a 4 star- just wish two of their dishes didn’t make us sad.
Pricey, but a really good experience and delicious food. Can't say I'd go back often due to the price (entrees between $30-60 pp, apps and dessert and drinks ~20 each) but would definitely go back. The jumbo lump crab salad was amazing, as was the special (rabbit over mashed potatoes). The desserts were also excellent - especially the olive oil cake.
Ended up visiting this restaurant as we were staying nearby and had spotted it was highly rated. It did not disappoint - the food was delicious and very good value. Italian food was cooked perfectly. The wine we chose was very nice, enough for us to order another bottle! Mario, our server, was excellent and despite it being a busy night, he was extremely attentive and keen to ensure we enjoyed our meal. A perfect night!
Service is exemplary; inside space is charming, especially the famous murals. We had the restaurant week menu ($60). Selection was limited but seemed appealing; the food was well executed but subtly flavored to the point of being bland (e.g. arancini were expertly fried, but almost flavorless; the rigatoni pasta itself was excellent, but there was so little sauce most of the pasta was plain). The best dish was the gelati dessert, cherry and hazelnut, both nearly the best I ever had. Think high end comfort food. At half the price I would have been happy, but with a bit of wine we ended up spending $140/person for a less-than-memorable meal. Regular menu prices are exorbitant.
Crab meat appetizer and mushroom side were delicious. Great service in general. The restaurant is on a quiet street so it’s a great place for conversations.
Very high quality, white table cloth service, fantastic experience!!!! 5 stars all around. After having a terrible experience at a neighboring restaurant, we were relieved by the attention of the waiters, staff and manager. With a picky guest having stricter dietary restrictions, they were more than accommodating…excellent, classic Italian food in a high end setting.
I'm really pleased with the outdoor dining experience I had here! I noted on my Open Table reservation that we were celebrating my friend's birthday, and the waiter brought out a plate with some tasty almond cookies and a candle that said "Happy Birthday" without my even asking or mentioning it that day, which I thought was so nice! I'd recommend ordering off the full menu, my brunch dish was nice but I think the pastas, etc. are nicer. Lovely to still have an upscale experience on a sidewalk ;) Additionally, you can review your bill and pay contactless via QR code, which I am a HUGE fan of.
