Leo's Oyster Bar

A great place for post-work drinks and small plates with excellent oysters and warm, cozy and relaxing vibes! Made a reservation here for Monday night at 5:45 but didn't need it, as almost all the tables were available. The bar area is very eye catching. There's mood lighting and candles, and it's easy to hear your own conversation. We were given a nice corner table with comfy booth seating, giving us a view of the entire place. We came here for oysters and snacks, and enjoyed everything we ordered:-6 assorted oysters (5/5) these were very tasty! We had our server select the three best types they had that day.-Spicy Salmon Bites (4.5/5) Like a deconstructed sushi roll with crispy rice. -Deviled Eggs (4/5) topped with a 'wing fried oyster', which had a buffalo sauce flavor. -Leo's Crab Cake (4.5/5) tasty!

This spot is such a vibe! We wanted to find a bougie, but cozy restaurant to go to for dinner after we got married at SF City Hall and Leo's Oyster Bar was perfect! We made reservations in advance, but probably didn't need to since it was a Monday night.The ambiance is great here. The lighting was dim, but cozy and the bar was beautiful. We appreciated being greeted with glasses of complimentary champagne to celebrate our special night! And of course we started with a dozen oysters - so fresh and delicious. We also started with the warm rolls with butter and omg they were sooo good. Definitely recommend. The lobster roll was also amazing. A little small, but that seems to be typical with lobster rolls. The menu dishes we would probably skip next time were the fancy fries and prawn risotto. Maybe they got our fries order wrong, but we didn't really see caviar or egg on them and the risotto was just ok. Not super flavorful. Overall though it was a fun spot to go on our wedding night and we'd definitely come here again to try different craft cocktails and other dishes!

Came here with two coworkers for drinks after dinner. Unfortunately, I can't remember which drinks we ordered, but added photos of the menu. This was a really cute restaurant with some fun cocktails. We sat at the bar and had good service. It was a little loud, but what bar isn't? This would be a cute restaurant for a group birthday, date night, girl's night, etc.

Came here for vday dinner. We were greeted at the door and sat at the bar. The restaurant is dimly lit for a romantic effect. The bartenders that night were very attentive. The food and drinks were made perfectly, but our night was ruined when the blonde lady working at the front that night was condescendingly demanding her colleagues for things. It made us feel very uncomfortable. Her voice was loud and brash and you can tell other customers didn't like her tone when she'd yell at her colleagues. Her demeanor was very unprofessional.

Nice spot, cute bar, lots of small tables very close together. We ordered a few items to snack on, like the fries, warm rolls, and spicy tuna bites. In classic SF fashion, 3 appetizers, 1 beer, and 1 cocktail ran us almost $100 after tax and tip. Food was okay, not amazing.

No words can describe this magical place I have spent birthdays every year and the service, ambiance and food is impeccable. Ranked as one of the beautiful restaurant in SF, Leo's has a special place in my heart. The food fries, seafood and oysters are top notch, the decor takes you to a Vintage pin up Hawaii glamour, service 5 stars as always. I will continue to be your loyal customer, no matter the changes, love Leo's forever.

The service was fantastic. The restaurant is gorgeous. The food, unfortunately, was just so-so. Risotto had been parcooked and the kitchen tried to hide with extra cheese. Shrimp were overcooked. Lobster roll was dry.

Pricy but great for drinks/snacks! My friend and I had made a reservation for Friday evening, but probably didn't need one because the restaurant was far from full. The hostess was so sweet and moved us to a 4-top table, so that we'd be more comfortable with my service dog. The interior was stunning! I loved the fern wallpaper, pink marble bar, all the plants, etc. and the ambiance was somehow both playful and elegant. For drinks, I got a glass of the Roseblood Rose and my friend chose the Treveri Brut Rose. Both were delightfully dry - exactly what we wanted. In general, the drinks menu was tiny, but they also had a handful of signature cocktails. For food, we skipped the mains and ordered a bunch of snacks to share - the Oysters, Leo's Crudo, Deviled Eggs, Burrata Toast, and Fancy Fries. With the Oysters, we just got 2 of each variety, and all 4 were fresh and delicious. I could've eaten at least a dozen more, but couldn't justify it at $5-6/oyster. The Leo's Crudo was a better value option and featured 3 different types of fish. All 3 were fantastic, but the salmon was our favorite. The Deviled Eggs with wing-fried oyster were super unique, and I'm glad I got to try one. The aftertaste was a bit too salty for me though. It's hard to mess up a Burrata Toast, and this one was delicious - the sweet and savory flavors went so well together! Finally, the Fancy Fries were a fun experience. The fries themselves were perfectly cooked and I loved the grated cheese on top. But dipping them into the softboiled egg with caviar really elevated the experience. The portion size was also substantial, so we really felt full after this item. Service was fast and friendly, and although the pricing was really up there, we enjoyed our time at Leo's Oyster Bar!

WOW! Leo's Oyster Bar was the perfect vibe for a fun date night in the city. Angel was amazing - he greeted us, sat us, served us, checked in regularly and gave us recommendations of places nearby to try. He was super friendly and was like the glue to the whole experience, and the experience is next level! Sam brought out our platter and was also extremely sweet. The only thing that threw me off at Leo's was the music - it was all over the place and had so many different vibes while we were there (one minute club mix and the next minute oldies). I like them all but it definitely could have been more streamlined. We ordered the Bubble Bath as our first cocktail and started with the Buttered Rolls (Hawaiian rolls grilled with an herb butter), both delicious! The Grand Plateau is the star of the show at Leo's - a dozen oysters, 4 Diamonds and Pearls (oysters with caviar), shrimp cocktail (6), and Leo's Crudo (2 sets of yellowtail, tuna and salmon with a light habanero sauce). Every bite was mouthwatering perfection. I ordered it thinking if we're only here once, let's go big, but we will absolutely be coming back on our next trip to SF. After dinner I had the Garden Party - also a treat for your tastebuds. I smiled the entire time and will be dreaming of Leo's until we come again.

Looking to feel slightly bougie and sick of the pub next door? Look no further - Leo's is an excellent spot for a pricey but delicious cocktail (i.e. the Bubble Bath) as well as freshly made small bites (check out the brussels) I've come here a few times after work and it hasn't disappointed yet! The bartenders are cheeky and seem to put extra care into the drinks (vanilla spray atop an espresso martini??) Excited to try the seafood that everyone talks about...
