Reviews
Unfortunately, the cuisine did not meet our expectations. The standout of the evening was the tiny taco appetizers, which were flavorful and well-prepared. Although our server suggested ordering a variety of dishes to share, we each chose steaks for our entrées—a decision that likely shaped our overall impression.
The accompaniments were underwhelming: the potatoes were adequate but unremarkable, the Brussels sprouts lacked the crisp texture we anticipated and were instead quite soft, and the masa with cheese was disappointing. Most notably, the restaurant’s “signature salt and sugar steak rub” detracted from the steaks rather than enhancing them. The sugar appeared to be cooked beyond caramelization, leaving a distinctly burnt flavor on the surface.
Given the pricing and the restaurant’s reputation, we expected a more refined and balanced dining experience. While the ambiance and service were commendable, the food itself fell short of what we had hoped for on such a special occasion.
For appetizers I recommend the tinny tacos. They are a very flavorful bite. We also got the yellow tail hamachi, but preferred the tacos.
We split the fish main course and got two sides. We can’t wait to go back and try the other dishes.
Unfortunately, the entrees didn’t mwet the standards of the appetizers and drinks. For some reason all the entrees were overly salty and just overall not exceptional at all. The Seabass was OK but with too much salt. The Jerk Duck fell very well short of authentic jerk standards and had to be returned. The Saffron Honey Chicken and Grilled Maine Scallops were decent, but not exceptional. For the sides, we enjoyed the Lemon Rissotto, but the Confit Domino Potato wasn’t tasty.
The dining experience was impeccable! From upon entry of Leluia Hall we were greeted by a host at the door to usher us in. Once at the hostess booth, we were then escorted to our table. When we arrived there was one other couple dining, but by the time we left, the restaurant was completely booked. Our waiter asked if we had any allergies and I indicated that I had a shrimp and bleu cheese allergy. The waiter notated this and proceeded to explain the restaurant’s concept and menu. We ordered cocktails (Manhattan for him and the 4R Negroni for me, btw, the 4R Negroni was fabulous!) and appetizers (Hawaiian Rolls and the Oysters Oaxacofeller) and were given ample time to just enjoy and take in the scenery. The restaurant still holds some charm from being an old church and the decor was just gorgeous. As we dined on appetizers, we were informed that one of the dishes (the oysters) needed to be remade as there was possible cross contamination with one of my allergies. We waited a little bit for a new appetizer to return and it was well worth the wait! My partner and I ordered dinner shortly afterwards (him – the Sugar Steak Prime Filet and Brussel Sprouts while I dined on the Potato and Roe side to finish eating with my Oysters appetizer). We passed on getting dessert, but were gifted a complimentary slice of cheesecake which we enjoyed when we returned to our hotel room later that evening.
Overall, the experience at Leluia Hall was totally worth it and we hope to dine there in the future again!
Edit: went back a second time and it was MUCH better. Everything was phenomenal. The guava cake is amazinggggg trust
