Reservations & party sizes…

We accept reservations for our indoor dining room and back porch only, no one wants to dine in the a wind or rain storm.

We always save our bar stools, front patio, courtyard seating and a few indoor tables for walk-ins as well. we want to make sure we are here for you on a whim or if you need to plan ahead for a special occasion.

We are unable to accommodate parties of seven or more (you can give us your most convincing story info@leosavl.com if you want to try). Our menu, our room, our kitchen and the experience we aim to offer are all built for smaller groups.

Parking…

Please do not park at El Paraiso RESTAURANT (the lot that looks like its ours) or at Patton Square. they will tow you.

We have a parking lot in the back that is accessible by Greenbriar .

Greenbriar & Parkwood Road are the best spots if our lot is full, you may also try that big grocery store parking lot behind us.

Of course we intend to quench your thirst so car services are always a fantastic option.

It all started when…

We decided to make a dream real.

For years we were mesmerized by a nine hundred square foot cinderblock building tucked behind a giant tree on Haywood Road. It felt like it had stories in it. We just needed to listen. After two years of peeling it back to the bones and building it back up, we gave it new life honoring its quirks and letting the light pour in.

Leo’s is an intimate neighborhood wine bar and restaurant from Drew Wallace, founder of The Admiral and The Bull and Beggar. Alongside Chef Austin Inselmann, we built something intentional but unfussy. The menu is thoughtful, seasonal, and meant to move with your evening whether that is a glass and a few bites in the sun or a long, lingering dinner with friends

The wines we select are made with integrity by farmers and producers who care deeply about place, story, and expression. We think of ourselves as a supernatural wine bar, grounded in craftsmanship and guided by curiosity.

Leo’s is meant to be your cozy neighborhood spot, whether you are stopping in for a glass, a snack, a bottle to take home, or a leisurely dinner among friends. We hope it feels like a place you can settle into, time and time again.

Dogs…

We allow very very very well behaved dogs to be on a leash in our courtyard and front patios only, please keep them off of the pathway for everyone safety,
