Excellent service and ambience. Mushroom soup and chocolate mouse dessert were excellent. Bay scallops entree would be better with more scallops and fluffier gnocchi. Gnocchi were leaden.

The lamb cassoulet dish is outstanding - well conceived and expertly executed. The presentation is modern yet the flavors are quintessentially classic French. The food overall reminds me of the old Patina days....

I love coming to Leatherby's before any performance in the Arts Plaza. The food is delicious. The service in the past has not been consistent, but last night it was great. I'm really glad to see that it has improved!

About the restaurant and décor: Most patrons come to this Patina Group outpost at the ultra-modern Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall for pre-theater dining. But Leatherby's Café Rouge is truly a spot for fine dining regardless of whether you have tickets in hand for the evening's performance or not. The concert hall's undulating, transparent walls set the scene for sophisticated drama. A redesigned interior has introduced dark gray banquettes and a crimson rug, among other enhancements. The new bar-lounge at the entrance is where you may want to begin your visit with a glass of wine or a cocktail.Food & Drinks: Executive chef and former Thomas Keller understudy Greg Stillman helms the kitchen. The menu has shifted its focus to a steakhouse milieu oscillating between classic and contemporary. Look for starters like shrimp cocktail with horseradish, moving on to an array of steaks, such as USDA Prime tenderloin and rib-eye. Choose from other options as well, from Colorado rack of lamb to Scottish salmon with an agave lime glaze. Don't miss out on Leatherby's meal-enders, like a hazelnut mousse crunch bar. The wine list is extensive, with well-chosen selections mostly from France and California.
