LEO: A VISIONARY
Named after legendary Philadelphia Orchestra Music Director Leopold Stokowski, Leo embodies his bold, innovative spirit, bringing flavors as dynamic and expressive as the art that fills our concert halls.
​
Leopold Stokowski served as the visionary music director of The Philadelphia Orchestra from 1912 to 1941. A revolutionary talent, he embraced new conducting techniques, encouraged individuality among his players, and laid the groundwork for the famous "Philadelphia Sound."
Stokowski was a pioneer who experimented with seating arrangements and acoustics, championed contemporary composers, and introduced generations to classical music through recordings and Disney’s Fantasia. His innate talent, relentless work ethic, and magnetic charisma earned him lasting praise and popularity.
​
Much like its namesake, Leo aims to captivate with a spirit of innovation and warmth, offering a dining experience that is genuine, inviting, and elegantly nuanced.
