Avin NarasimhanFebruary 3, 2016Phenomenal experience here for our 10th anniversary. They brought us a special dessert for the occasion, and made the evening wonderful. The pastas and wine pairings are a top choice
AFAR MediaJuly 20, 2015Falling on the low end of the wildly expensive burgers of Manhattan at $26, the draw at the Leopard is made both of the delicious burger and the wonderful experience. Read more
James H.February 10, 2017Loved the food and service. It was a bit since our last dinner there. It was a pleasant surprise how good the evening turned out. Food, service, wine, ambiance all great.
The special mozzarella tomato and red pepper salad was delicious; same for the beet salad. The special Dover sole was a little too fishy. Lively restaurant with great service and interesting crowd
Frequented in COVID times, they’re great about outdoor dining, social distancing, & quality food/service. If you have an excuse(ie washing your hands before you eat), check out the interior paintings!
Honghui YuAugust 15, 2016Had a delicious braised rabbit dish for restaurant week here. Even though this is a fancy place, it still managed to have a neighborhood restaurant feel
Great food, great location. Perfect place to end a walk through the most beautiful part of the park. Or before a show at Lincoln Center which is just down the block.- Michael Fox-RabinovitzNovember 13, 2016Eclectic and artistic decor, lots of paintings, quite tastefully done. Great gnocchi, super burger, solid eggplant dish.
SuziOctober 31, 2016Great service but the food at its sister restaurant, Il Gattopardo is much better. It's possible to have a conversation here, which these days it's everything.
The Corcoran GroupMarch 12, 2012Stop in for a cocktail and check out the beautiful décor. Or treat yourself to a delicious meal of pappardelle with rabbit ragu and a caramel semifreddo.- James H.June 12, 2017The veal chop Milanese was delicious. I thought the salad should have been served on top.
Karlina GonzalezAugust 31, 2017great service, very accommodating of diet restrictions. good food. the melon sorbet was the highlight of my meal amazing!
bJanuary 31, 2015amazing amazing bread basket. loved the artwork and the old school charm. service was on point too- James H.November 24, 2014The veal loin Milanese was great with very fresh arugula and cherry tomato.
All good; pastas cooked just a little too al dente at times
Bailey DouglassNovember 8, 2021Good, expensive food. The kind of place you bring your parents when they are in town.
IWalked Audio ToursSeptember 10, 2011Located in building known as the Hotel des Artistes (artist co-op). The Leopard replaces the Cafe des Artistes which resided here for 92 yrs. Known for its nudist themed murals. More info in our blog. Read more- James H.November 24, 2014Rabbit was good but not the best item on the menu. It come with potato and broccoli rave.
- James H.June 12, 2017The branzino was prepared perfectly and the serving size was large. We had to ask for olive oil and lemon. Disappointing
Nasir MemonAugust 9, 2014Desserts are wonderful. Tropical fruit with mixed berries in star anise syrup. Fantastic.
- James H.June 12, 2017The salad was fresh but not the quality of the veal. I was slightly disappointed.
Mike ShermanFebruary 27, 2017Was a bit disappointed with the fixed price menu--the a la carte entrees we saw looked much better- James H.November 24, 2014Sunday nights one can bring their own wine without corkage. Try the polenta. It's delicious and creamy. You will love it.
