We were amazed the damning review of Leone's featured the same restaurant in which we have enjoyed three very pleasant evenings.

The service, surroundings, staff and, especially, food were beyond our expectations.

Audrey Simpson's view, as everybody else's, should be respected but is contrary to ours.

The only point we agree with is the criticism of the bill, in which service charge was included but space was also left for a tip.

But this is normal in a lot of cases. The patron should read the menu and then the bill.

We do understand people have off days, including the writers of restaurant reviews.
