Small Spot, Big Flavor. I love any place that I can get oysters, bone marrow, skate wing & a view of the kitchen! Plan on getting there early, only go for a table of 2, pretty pricey but worth it! Try to get the table overlooking the kitchen. Great neighborhood & menu. Top of my list this year

Delicious and charming, Not snobby. The toughest part about writing this is trying to decide which of the many delectable things I ate last night was my favorite -- the steak tartare or the pork hock or the brussel sprouts or the hash browns. If I absolutely had to pick one it would be the steak tartare -- perfect flavor -- but luckily I don't have to only have one favorite and am looking forward to going back and trying more.

Great at details -- the salad aside the pork hock had lovely crunchy capers, don't know how that's done but what a treat.

Hip brasserie with a lot of substance for its small size.. Joseph Leonard comes to New York from Gabe Stulman, a former partner at Little Owl and Market Table, and the restaurant shares the DNA of both restaurants in terms of appearance (small but intensely stylish) and food (slightly tweaked, ultra-solid traditional fare). Located on an odd-shaped corner in the West Village, Joseph Leonard is crammed full of twee design elements--exposed brick, tin ceilings, knickknacks everywhere, oddly shaped mirrors--but somehow it all works. Likewise with its food, which is vaguely French but which strikes enough contemporary notes--steak in red wine sauce, a crispy pork hock--to please the fashionable crowd that has packed the house since the restaurant opened.
