The Leaf Restaurant

The Leaf is a casual restaurant in downtown Wooster serving seasonal comfort food with locally sourced ingredients, from breakfast and brunch through lunch and dinner. The menu rotates with the seasons and includes vegetarian, vegan and gluten-friendly choices, and the bar is known for handcrafted cocktails and mocktails. Chef Jeremy Crossman draws on Asian fusion flavors, among other world cuisines.

Reservations are recommended, especially for dinner and on weekends, and walk-ins are welcome when there is space. Wednesday nights often feature live music starting at 6 pm, and the restaurant runs a weekday happy hour from 4 to 6 pm with discounts on appetizers, drinks, house wine and beer. The owners also run GreenLeaf Restaurant and Drive In on Wooster's north side.
