About us

Leiah redefines fine dining in Orlando with an eclectic menu that fuses Mediterranean, Caribbean, and American flavors. Award-winning chef Omar Torres leads this artisanal kitchen and wine cellar, drawing inspiration from his family’s rich heritage spanning Italy, Greece, Israel, Egypt, France, Spain, Puerto Rico, and the United States. Every dish reflects his commitment to culinary excellence, global tradition, and a deeply personal story.

Named after Chef Omar's daughter, Leiah blends heartfelt hospitality with refined culinary artistry. The menu celebrates home-style cooking elevated by luxurious ingredients from land and sea, paired with curated wines from renowned international vineyards. Guests enjoy a thoughtfully crafted experience that engages the senses and honors time-honored techniques.

The Torres family designed every element of the restaurant - from the logo and menu to the ambiance and decor - infusing the space with warmth, creativity, and meaning. Leiah feels like home because it was built as one. It's a place where family traditions meet modern elegance, creating a welcoming and sophisticated atmosphere for every guest.

Leiah partners with responsible purveyors and fisheries to ensure all seafood and produce meet sustainable and ethical standards. The open kitchen offers guests a transparent view into the culinary process, where freshness, care, and artistry take center stage. Set in a serene space of soft blues, crisp whites, and gold accents, the restaurant's clean design and ambient lighting reflect a deep respect for nature and a commitment to refined simplicity.

Tucked into the heart of Orlando, Leiah brings together farmers, fishermen, artisans, and chefs to create something truly special. It's more than a restaurant: it's a fine dining experience rooted in family, culture, and a passion for excellence.
