A cozy Murray Hill charmer, New York Times-featured Leslie is the work of husband-and-wife team Leslie Ames and award-winning Chef Sebastian Fernandez. Enter, and you're home, in a way, cuddled up to a feast that's ready to transform your weekend bite after bite, sip after sip. As the city's buzz fills your senses, so will fare & tipples that are packed with flavor & freshness.
Grab your $49 pulse (a $90 value) for a Cocktail Brunch For Two that includes 2 Entrees, as well as 4 Brunch Cocktails, with a choice of Prosecco, Mimosas, Bloody Marys, or Spiked Cold Brews.
As you settle in, admire soft green hues, exposed brick walls, white banquettes, and rattan seating bathed in natural light pouring through garage doors that open onto 3rd Avenue. In the kitchen, magic ensues. Having cooked for The Obamas in Martha’s Vineyard and recognized as one of the Sixty Best Chefs in America by Food Network, Fernandez constantly experiments with new flavors and techniques.
Think perfectly balanced Mimosas alongside a Grilled Mortadella and Ricotta Sandwich with fresh baby kale, demi-glace, and perfect home potatoes. Or opt for something sweet and soft like Pancakes and Berries doused in Maple Syrup. Of course, you can't pass up the open face Bagel featuring housemade Lox, goat cheese, capers, and pickled onions, yum!
Weekends here are simply blissful, thanks to the triple threat of incredible cuisine, sublime cocktails, and a curated atmosphere that's as picture perfect as it is convivial. See you there...
Take your weekday worries and leave them at the door because Eater & The Infatuation-praised Leslie is ready to make your stresses disappear in favor of flavor & sips galore. This newly-minted Murray Hill treasure is getting a lot of buzz, making waves in the neighborhood & beyond.
Formerly the owners of Miami’s critically acclaimed Peruvian restaurant 33 Kitchen, Chef Sebastian Fernandez & wife Leslie Ames (who the restaurant is named after), bring the familial feel to the table. The result? A local jewel that hums with the chatter of regulars and epicureans who want their weekends elevated without pretension.
Chef Sebastian Fernandez's pedigree is impressive, to say the least. The award-winning Miami chef-restaurateur is applauded for his bold, expressive cooking. In addition to 33 Kitchen earning three-and-a-half stars from the Miami Herald, Fernandez was also recognized as one of Wine Spectator’s 60 Best Chefs in America.
When it comes to Leslie, the restaurant represents a fusion of Fernandez's & Ames' shared journey - Sebastian’s Chilean heritage, Leslie’s Peruvian roots, and the energy and multicultural spirit that defines their success. Designed by Leslie herself, the space blends warmth & style, not to mention Table 33 (brought from the couple’s home) symbolizing the hospitality and connection that ground the entire restaurant.
So what's left to do? Gather your weekend crew, make your way to Murray Hill, and let Leslie take care of you. You'll find you've come to the right place from the second you step foot inside its warm embrace...
All selections will be made from the restaurant's full brunch menu.
