Joseph Leonard

Corner cafe/pub/bar/restaurant. I appreciated the friendly waiters, and the out-of-the-ordinary kitchen! We had the mussels and the liver. Both were extremely tasty! The beer selection is slightly limited but their cocktails were on point. I'd come again!

New spot heard they have killer fried chicken sandwich... verdict is they do ! Started with baked clams they were good, 6 small ones wish they were larger sized.... but the fried chicken sandwich was delish, beautiful crunch on outside...tender and juicy in the middle... the bun held all if this deliciousness in check to have every bite taste great....definitely having this again....staff and service were awesome and the place is small and cozy...#meecheatsny #josephleonards#nyceats #nycfood #nycfoodie #westvillage #westvillageeats

Love this place. Really nice, helpful host and wait staff. Cozy venue with 2000s RnB make it a great vibe. Food was excellent and well priced.

Simple lunch menu. Food was good and nicely seasoned

I've had great brunch and a great dinner here. The burger was really good. Excellent service.

This was the best breakfast I've ever had in my life - and I've gone out for a lot of breakfasts. The steak and eggs was so unique and well prepared, and the fried chicken burger was the BEST CHICKEN BURGER I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED! And I've also had a lot of those ... The place is cozy and intimate too. Perfect for any kind of date.

Cozy restaurant with great breakfast. Had the omelette with ratatouille and avocado toast. It's a bit pricey but worth it for a weekend brunch.

Had the burger, it was so fricken good! Went back the next night and had another!! Truly amazing! The environment is cozy and decor very well done!

Eat here. Fantastic food and drink at a reasonable price for the area. The bartender was lovely, it was dark as a bar should be, and they played great music. 10/10 highly recommend

Were able to walk in without a reservation and got to sit at the bar; there were three of us. Service was great. The menu looked delicious. I had the whole branzino; it was one of the top two entrées I had in NYC. Everything was delicious. Make a reservation. You don’t want to miss this place. They know what they’re doing here.

Hands down, one of the best spots to eat in the city. I’ve been coming to JL for nearly 6 years now. It’s open late and always busy. The staff is friendly and the food is excellent. They have a good wine selection and the solid cocktails. Bar tenders are knowledgeable and are willing to experiment. The location is right in the heart of the west village. The restaurant might only seat 2 dozen people and I think that only adds to the overall experience. It’s a tight fit so if you’re afraid of small space a or like to spread out this isn’t the spot for you. Dinner is a favorite here. The menu is always evolving but some staples like the Brussels, Duck Breast, and Mussels are items that you must try. I recently went in for a late lunch and per usual the place was packed. Don’t get discouraged, it’s packed because the food, staff, and ambiance is great (and worth the wait). Greg (the GM) asked me to wait and quickly found me a seat at the bar and I was good to go.

This is an American breakfast & brunch restaurant. Had a short wait to be seated as it was busy, but definitely worth the wait. Food was great! Great place.

Charming, cozy, intimate and quiet. Awesome food, but I’d like to see a couple more healthier/veggie heavy brunch options. Special shout out to the non-alcoholic craft cocktails - delicious! Also the bathroom cabinet is stocked with cotton swabs, toothpicks and mints, and tampons for the ladies in case you have an emergency, so thoughtful. 💕

It’s just amazing. Best food, friendliest staff. Both vegetarians and carnivores leave here happy.Pro tips: Best for parties of 2, come by 6:45 on a weeknight if you want a table, order small plates to share. Don’t be afraid of sitting at the bar—I even prefer it here.

It’s the name at first then you discover the place and fall in love! It was only eight when I pushed the door open of Joseph Leonard’s small little heaven. Occupying the corner of some traditional quarters feeling like old London, a small restaurant, kind of a “bistro du coin”, this home away from home is the perfect stopover for every person seeking calm and serenity on the early hours. Dimmed lights, wood, stylish yet authentic decorative items, photos here and there, an old clock, travel bags, mirrors and the bar. It’s enchanting, it’s magical, I felt good the minute I walked in.
