Leona's Bistro — Restaurant in Richfield

After reading all of the "positive" responses from previous customers my husband and I decided to try this restaurant hoping it to be a winner. We went on a Friday night and I ordered the green salad and my husband ordered the gnocchi at the counter before we sat down at a table. When we got our food, I couldn't believe the small plate of gnocchi for $16, not even a little salad or bread was served with it. I got the green salad which was ok, the lettuce could have been cut way smaller than it was but the dressing was pretty good. The waitress never asked us if we needed anything or asked us how everything was, nothing, no communication whatsoever......I have a huge problem with that, especially with the money we dished out! When we did need a staff member, we had to go into the kitchen to find someone to help us. The paper plates and plastic utensils were a turnoff as well. Needless to say, we will not be...

Edit: been a few more times and it’s definitely the direction downtown needs. Pastries are consistently good and service is fast and friendly. They are also experimenting with dinner which I love. Some suggestions I’d make, coffee needs improvement. Partnership with a local roaster like Sevier Valley Coffee? Homemade sauces for pasta are super appreciated but I would prefer a brighter pesto over a cream based one (more nuts for the cream texture and herbs and lemon) and some more spices running through the red sauce. Red pepper shakers would also be nice for some heat. Y’all keep innovating! It’s great to see.

Just what downtown needs! I’m excited to see where this new bistro goes and encourage anyone to stop in for a treat. I think as they hit their stride that this will be a real gem. Also there is a good berry and nut salad on the menu for any vegans passing...

Update Nov. 20, 2023 RAVE!!! So my mom and I have a tradition of going to Leona’s Bistro after scans at the hospital etc. We enjoy their sandwiches and desserts. It’s just fun. WELL, today I tried their Thanksgiving Sandwich. OH MY GOLLY! BEST SANDWICH I‘VE EVER HAD ANYWHERE!!!!! Oh I hope they put it permanently on the menu because that sandwich is COMFORT on a PLATE! It was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!! Y’all TOTALLY need to try it. SERIOUSLY THE BEST! It even beat out my Mom’s usual favorite of roast beef on rye. I usually get half, but…yeah I ate a whole and have no...
