    Food is next level outstanding. Waiter so knowledgeable BUT - we had the AC dripping on us from the ceiling above, someone’s wine spilling over to us from the table beside us, and alot of commotion with tables being rearranged beside us for 20 mins. The manager was apologetic but did not compensate us. We ordered desserts, and instead of coming a dessert, he brought a small added dessert we didn’t want. The bill - we were charged for an extra app on 2 dishes that we didn’t order. Apps Come in 2. There were 3 of us at the table. The waiter ASSUMED we would want 3. Never asked us or told us the cost of a third. Just brought it. Then charged for it. customer service - zero.

    This was everything I hoped for. The servers pampered us by replacing plates, cleaning the table between dishes and offered good descriptions of each dish. The Singapore slaw was the hit and all other dishes were well constructed and perfectly executed. We even caught a glimpse of Chef Lee working in the kitchen which was very meaningful knowing our meal was prepared under his watchful eye.

    My wife and I and two friends dined at Lee this past weekend and had a fabulous experience. The atmosphere (vibe) and design of the restaurant was beautiful. Our server, Erika, was knowledgable, engaging and energetic. She helped make it a great evening! The food was superb! We had the Singapore Style Slaw, Burrata, Dumplings (both steamed and deep fried), Black Cod and Braised Ribs - all were prepared perfectly and were delicious! I can't recommend Lee more highly for a wonderful dining experience.

    All four of us had high expectations and were underwhelmed. The waitress called us “my dears” every single time she came to the table! Presentatons were lovely but one of the main beef dishes had grissle in it. Two of us gave it a 7/10 while the other two gave it a 6/10. Summerlicious time isn’t what it used to be…

    The service and our server were both great. However, we had specifically requested no bacon on our food, and it was still served with bacon. When we brought it to the attention of the person who delivered the food, the manager came by. Unfortunately, instead of addressing the issue seriously, he made a snarky comment about it being the first day of the new menu, laughed it off, and walked away. He later sent complimentary Asparagus to our table.
