your favorite raw bar pop up each summer
Our outdoor oyster patio opens Friday, June 19th, and runs every Friday and Saturday through the summer, weather allowing. Pull up a seat for a curated selection of East, West, and Gulf Coast oysters sourced directly from family farms, alongside crab, crudo, and other raw bar snacks.
This summer we're shining a light on Gulf Coast seafood — including our house oyster, Skipper Sweets, farm-cultivated in Florida's Apalachicola region and shipped direct for us by John Harley of Serenoa Shellfish Company. Our oyster program celebrates the unique merroir of small oyster farmers across the American South.
Can't make it to the patio? The full raw bar menu is also available indoors Fridays and saturdays at Leopold's and our sister restaurant, Fabiola's.
Leo's Half Shell is a limited-time pop-up and wraps up in early September — so come see us while the season lasts. Patio seating is first come, first served. We'll see you on the half shell.
