Absolutely wonderful meal and even better service! I will continue to say that Camp NorthEnd is wildly underrated, and Leah & Louise proves my point. This spot was incredible. We had the Oxtail and Grits, which my partner almost wasn't going to let me try because it was that good. I had a micro green salad, Fried Hot Oysters on toast, I don't remember the actual name of these two dishes. However, just know they were both delicious. The salad was perfectly seasoned, and the texture of the greens were the right amount of crunchy. The fried oysters were definitely the star, though. The bread was buttered and fluffy, pairing to the nicely battered oysters. The hot sauce on them was smokey yet had a nice spice that was running you to find water. The service was impeccable, and everyone was so friendly. I would definitely recommend getting a reservation as the space is small yet cozy.

I've been meaning to check out this spot for a while but it's always been busy. Although there was not a wait when I went, I'd still recommend you hop on Open Table and make a reservation just to ensure you secure a spot. Make sure you read the fine print on the reservations because there may be a fee if you cancel the reservation within a certain time. Our waitress, Asia, gave us the rundown of the menu. If you're a person who likes the huge menu at Cheesecake Factory, you won't find that at L&L. They have a small menu. We got two appetizers, two drinks, and our entrees. The River Chips were like pork skins but made of chicken skins. They were well seasoned and the sauce added a sweet contrast. The roll up was a piece of grilled bread loaf. There was a garlic butter with it and it was also very tasty. As for drinks, my companion had the zodiac punch (which was a Leo themed drink). I had Black Maybe. Both drinks were strong and well made. The entrees were Mud Island, (a catfish dish), and Trust Your Gut (a pork belly dish). Mud Island is their most popular dish and everyone was ordering it judging by all of the people we saw eating it. I got the Trust Your Gut to be different. I tried my companion's food and the fish was better than the pork. The music was most 90s and early 2000s r&b. The vibe works well for the area and ambiance is chill. The look of the place made me feel like I was sitting in a soul food restaurant in New Orleans. But don't get it twisted, this is fancy food. The gratuity is included at 23% which is fine for me because I normally tip 20%. If this is a deterrent for you, then you should order takeout. I'd definitely return to Leah and Louise. It's a really cool spot with great drinks, good food, and a dope atmosphere.

Drinks and food were fabulous. Service was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. I love the vibe of the place. Whomever picked the background music (primarily old school and 90s R&B) had me dancing in my seat as we ate and chatted. From a food perspective, the menu changes frequently because it is farm to table. Highlights of the meal were fried mushrooms with pickled watermelon rinds along with the silky, fluffy grits topped with refreshing pops of cherry tomatoes, and cornbread brioche. The cabbage is a staple on the menu and is a must if you eat pork. It is so delicious because of the gravy. Note, if you only want a meal from the appetizer section, you will need to deliberately ask to have it coursed and timed out. We made an assumption that it would happen automatically and we ended up with 5 dishes coming out at the exact same time for a 2-person table.

We arrived as a walk-in on Sunday afternoon at 1 pm and had no trouble getting seated. It is a Soul Food restaurant in North End Camp. Leah's cabbage was the best dish. The soup of the day was catfish and mushroom it was good except for a couple of bites that had bones. The Fritata veg dish was similar to a quich and salad. It was OK. We finished off with an Alfajores, which was like a moon pie. Not my favorite. Overall, I'm glad I tried it. Their vegetable dishes are their stars I would say.

A nice place in Camp North. Both inside and outside tables are available. Not many tables though, so reservations are highly recommended. Frog legs are the most impressive one. It’s fried and carefully flavored. Mussels are not super fresh, but the bread is fluffy and soft. Catfish (as entree) is good as well. Appetizers are more of the same size as entree. We ordered drinks but nobody brought them to the table. We ended up finishing most of the food so had to cancel them.
