Anyway, back to Bar Leo. What a great place. Reservations were made for the 11 of us (I love big families) and it being a Monday night, the restaurant as a whole was pretty empty. We took up a good portion of their back room, with plenty of seating to spare. It was snowing that night, so it was nice to be seated in a warm, cozy area of restaurant. Our coats were taken by the waiter upon arrival and we were all sat. It took us a while to look over the menu, some being a little bit slower to decide than others, but once we got the orders rolling, it wasn't too long before starters came out. Because my boyfriend and I are pigs, we started off the dinner with bruschetta and cheesy garlic bread. The bruschetta was absolutely divine, with toasted bread and fresh bright red tomatoes on top. I've never had a bruschetta that made me want to literally have that as a meal (aka order about 5 more servings of it). The cheesy garlic bread was pretty tasty as well. Across the board, the family ordered a wide variety of things. Some ordered the shaved meats and olives plate, some ordered the stuffed mushrooms, some ordered prawns and chorizo, some ordered garlic bread. Because my boyfriends sister in law ordered cheesy garlic bread and they brought out plain garlic bread instead, the plain garlic bread was given to us for free while she waited for her cheesy garlic bread. Class. For the mains, we all ordered a little bit of everything off the menu. I went with penne with tomato sauce and spicy Italian sausage. It's been a very long time since I've had proper Italian sausage, so I was well up for this meal. It was very delicious. My boyfriend ordered the calzone with chips. Ha! His older brother ordered the exact same thing. This thing was enormous, filled with everything but the kitchen sink. They both were in hog heaven! There was a mac and cheese ordered, a spinach and ricotta pasta dish ordered, veal, sea brine, risotto and pizza were all ordered as well. I don't think I heard one complaint from the whole table as we wolfed down our food. The wait staff was really nice and patient with us being such a large group. Service was prompt and food was hot made to order. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the diet coke was flat. I didn't send it back though, so how would they have known. Anyway, we were all beyond stuffed when half of us ordered coffees/tea dessert. I didn't order any of either of those things, but those of us who did order, were well chuffed with the taste and quality of the desserts and coffees. All in all we had a really great night at Bar Leo. I'd never been here before, having only been to Linlithgow once before, but I will definitely come back here again as the food, service and over all atmosphere of Bar Leo was pretty amazing. Really great Italian food!

It was busy, although not overly so and service was reasonably efficient, if a wee bit over stretched at times. I ordered a second bottle of Sam Adams and saw it sitting on the bar for a good 10 minutes before it made it's way towards me. That however, would be my only gripe. I went for a cajun chicken sandwich and the sister plumped for a jalapeno cheeseburger, both inhaled pretty quickly. The chicken was excellent, the spices just right. We got small and shouty a pizza from the junior menu and she enjoyed what she able to eat of it. It's maybe worth mentioning that the junior menu is probably aimed at kids at least 3 years and over. The portions are, apparently, non-negotiable which I found a bit odd. The lunch menu doesn't run on saturdays but is really good value if you're nipping in during the week!

He couldn't eat it as it was so dry. Server very kindly took it off the bill. I had the appetizer ribs & 2 sides of veggies of corn on the cob & green beans & pea pods. It was tasty. We ordered a vanilla milk shake and just laughed when it came and tasted it. It was frothy on top but was as thin as milk with a little vanilla ice cream flavor in it. Not thick or cold as most shakes are. We felt embarrassed and just paid & left.
