Leiah

The Write-Up

The full story

Leiah is a small, candlelit room on Magnolia Avenue where guests say the service makes them feel like the only diners in the place. The tasting menu moves through lobster bisque guests call the best they have had, handmade truffle tortellini, wagyu potato foam and beet salad, with wine pairings matched course by course. It feels intimate and unhurried, a special occasion spot that finishes with mango brulee.

District Story

The story of Downtown

A fort, a courthouse plat and a citrus boom built it. A name nobody can prove still runs it.
