Reviews for Leland Eating and Drinking House in Brooklyn, NY
The Banh Mi was excellent (a tad spicy), the Chicken Porridge was great, the Trout Rillette was an interesting appetizer and the... drinks (we tried the Italian Greyhound and the iced tea) were refreshing. This place is worth a visit for sure :) Read more
This place has a great vibe. It’s a nice little spot for good food, friendly service and a great wine list. And if you live... nearby, I highly encourage you to order some of their breads and other baked goods that are available for pickup on Thursdays. Read more
Leland always has amazing food! I've been visiting them since their soft opening and it just keeps getting better. Try the... foccacia! Or the congee/jook porridge (yes it's good, and I say this being ethnically Cantonese and growing up visiting Big Wongevery week as a Brooklyn kid). Or the fried whole fish. Or the half chicken (some of the juiciest white meat you'll evertaste!). You can't go wrong here! Literally the ONLY thing that I could possibly say I'd like to change is that my family with2 toddlers keeps getting seated outdoors (bugs and toddler girls do not mix) and at the corner near the always open cellarstairs and I freak out about their safety. Otherwise ???? !! Read more
My girlfriend and I LOVE Leland Eating and Drinking House. We found the menu to be perfectly curated and executed. The food is... fresh and the environment is creative. Will say, we didn’t know it was so popular! We found it on a Thursday night, had aneasy walk in. But be sure to make a ressy on the weekends! We’ll be back ???? Read more
Leland is magic! From the food, to the drinks, to the built-with-love chic and cozy atmosphere, the owners, the employees, the... vibe— it all comes together so perfectly and harmoniously in one space that creates not only a meal, a glass. a place to seefriends, but pure magic! You can tell there is something special about Leland from the moment you walk in and are greeted by thedoor. Being seated in one of the outdoor (heated) “cozy cabin” or “love shacks” makes you feel like you’re enteringinto you own private culinary universe. The menu is something you look at and immediately say to yourself- “I’ll take one ofeverything!” The food is fresh, local, tasty, perfectly seasoned, and quite frankly - divine. From leek season in thesummertime (by the way, the chef hand picks locally) and more savory, comforting fare in the winter- there is always somethingspecial to enjoy. We love the trout roulette, mussels, any fresh tartare - and the carrots and the chicken entree are a MUST.There is a fun drink for every occasion and the mixologist makes your drink to perfection. (I suggest the Italian Greyhound orfamous “J-Bomb”!) You can bring your best friends for a cozy and fun Sunday brunch complete with fresh baked goods and spicymargaritas. You can treat your parents for a unique night on the town where they won’t be disappointed by the simply perfectfood and cozy atmosphere. You can bring your lover for a romantic eve or your colleague for a quick drink during vinyl happyhour. Leland has something (magical!) for everyone, and every time we go —- we fall more and more in love. We look forward tocelebrating our special events at Leland with our Leland family!! Read more
We had a beautiful meal this weekend at Leland. Every dish was executed very well, and the flavors were phenomenal. Standouts... were the mussels in a charred lemon butter sauce and the pork chop that was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Their creme bruleepie was an excellent way to end the meal. The wine list and cocktails were good (get the greyhound, pass on the frozenNegroni). They also make great breads and pastries (try the vegan cinnamon roll with orange glaze!) Wonderful addition to theneighborhood! I also have to add that their cozy cabins are amazing—my family comfortably had lunch on a day that had windchills in the single digits. No other restaurant in the neighborhood has been so comfortable for outdoor dining Read more
We had a lovely dinner at Leland, service was fantastic, cocktails were divine, and the food was good.. except for the focaccia... which was a bit too dry. The mushrooms & sourdough dish was great! Unfortunately, not a lot of options for vegetarians (no veglarge plate at all).. Read more
Went here for a birthday celebration and we found it super charming. Cozy, a little bit fancy, but not pretentious (a frequent... hazard with restaurants of this style). Everything we ate—which included the mackerel conserva, eggplant, charred lemonskillet mussels (the best!), and whole fried fish—was delicious. Friendly, mellow service and we both loved choosing someamaros and wine from the extensive lists. Excited to come back for drinks, snacks, dessert, and I’m sure many more mealshere. Read more
