Beef and Leaf Cafe

A beautiful neighborhood gem that is at home in a big city or a smaller town! Gluten free options that you don't normally find anywhere and desserts that are spectacular. It doesn't hurt to make a reservation, but you can sit on the spacious patio without one. Try Beef and Leaf, you won't be disappointed!

Wow, I was excited to come to Beef and Leaf! I love a new restaurant. Especially one with gluten free options. My partner and I went to the restaurant , ordered a few cocktails, one of which the Laura's Lemonade, which was great, and started with the fried cauliflower, which was also amazing! And we were excited for the rest of our meal. I had ordered the red fish and he got the chicken fried steak. My fish was so tough I had use a steak knife to cut through it. It was obviously frozen when it was cooked, and was so tough it was inedible. The rissotto on the other hand was somehow weirdly crunchy. My partner was very excited to get a chicken fried steak. But unfortunately he had to chew endlessly to the point of exhaustion. This was also obviously frozen when fried and had a tough, sinewy texture. The chicken fried steak sat on top of sweet potatoes that were cooked with so much maple syrup that it was all you could taste. We both grew up in families where you don't leave anything behind on your plate. We both left at least half of our meals on our plates, spent way too much money on inedible food, and then went to Riggobertos after for something good to eat. The service, cauliflower and ambiance are the only reason why I give the 2 stars. Save yourself the reservation, go get a drink on the patio, get some fried cauliflower, then get dinner somewhere else.
