The details
The new restaurant is adjacent to the recently opened River Oaks Theatre and will serve as a New York-style supper club with modern Art Deco designs, live music, an outdoor patio and American cuisine.
The space occupies over approximately 5,000 square feet with a 1,000 square-foot outdoor patio and is centered around modern chandeliers and feathered fixtures inspired by the 1950s.
According to an Oct. 17 news release, unique features include tartan carpets, a balcony that overlooks the dining room and subtle hints of the restaurant’s signature Leo’s lion. Guests will also enjoy the sounds of a grand piano.
“We created Leo’s River Oaks as a tribute to the vibrant spirits and fierce creativity of my wife and daughter, both Leos," Founder of Culinary Khancepts Omar Khan said. "Every detail—from the design to the cuisine—tells a story that celebrates their incredible energy and inspiration."
On the menu
The curated New American menu was designed by Chef Tim Reading and features a Raw Bar with options for seafood towers, premium caviar service and vermillion snapper. The menu also includes small shareable plates with options such as roasted pork belly, duck fat potatoes and bone marrow au gratin.
