Great food and atmosphere. Chef Lee is a known chef for his creations. The head waiter was also called Lee and he was exceptional in talking through the carefully selected food options and ingredients.

There is a wide range of choice vintage wines.

I will be coming back.

Definitely a great place to grab dinner whether it’s date night, a birthday or even girls night out.

Food is so flavourful. Can’t rave about their slaw enough.

Service is good, no complaints. Staff members are friendly and attentive.

One of my favourite restaurants in Toronto. I always order the signature Singapore style slaw, and cheese burger spring rolls. I also usually order feature foods and cocktails as this place offers exciting drinks at all times. I respect chef Lee as a leader in the food industry and definitely recommend this to whoever wants to have a pleasant and delicious meal outside.

A great place for date night! The service was super. When food was brought out they explained everything on the dish. The atmosphere was good. I would recommended going to this restaurant. The Singapore style slaw amazing! Slow braised beef is a must. Spring roll hamburger was good! I would come back

What surprised me most were the cocktails! I came for the food but stayed for the cocktails. I highly recommend the Intercontinental and the Birds of Nirvana. Both very interesting and complex. Obviously the food was good, my favourite was the Beef Gyoza- simply amazing. The service was also top notch. Our server Sofiia was very attentive and all our needs were handled excellently with the dishes explained very well. Overall great experience.

I contacted Lee weeks prior as I was planning to celebrate my marriage here, after I got married we came to the restaurant for us to have dinner (four people, 2 couples).

First I did ask for something to be offered as a tasting menu which they said they noted and would offer when we arrive and also asked for nice seating for us as it’s a special occasion.

We arrived at 8:30pm and was seated outside on the patio in a corner with zero atmosphere and clearly were to busy inside so just seated us outside as a after thought. They didn’t note it was a marriage celebration as mentioned when booking and we was forgotten about numerous occasions to the point I almost had to get up to get help as we didn’t even get to order food till almost 10pm, our first dish came out to us just before 10:30pm, we waited almost 2 hours to eat something. It was ridiculous.

First 2 hours we had no attention as the restaurant was clearly very busy. However after this we was continuously interrupted by staff asking us how things were, if we needed anything and trying to take half empty plates away or glasses which were not yet finished. We payed over 350 for 4 people and got mediocre food, terrible service and a night not to remember, whilst we are trying to converse we are interrupted and trying to eat we are asked but first 2 hours nothing. Terrible experience, considering how excited I was to try Lees restaurant I was left very underwhelmed, over priced food, salad was amazing everything else was actually not great.

To finish off, my guests requested something to celebrate our marriage and our came one yes one small ball of desert, which was meant to be a gesture….. I have a sweet tooth and I didn’t finish it, no one did, it was hideous!

Should of gone to other selection of fine dining restaurants and enjoyed the experience on such a important day to us than to be left outside in the cold when I had made reservations weeks in advance! Do not share your special day here, they do not make it special.

Awesome! The staff went above and beyond for our group. We had a custom chef menu, it was all spectacular. They did very well with substitutes for allergies in our group. It was a busy place on Saturday night, but you wouldn't have known that from how efficient the staff was. Top notch.

Awesome food experience, would love to visit again. You won't be disappointed!

First time visiting the new location and it's just as mature, stylish and classy as I had imagined it would be. Am very familiar with the food and level of service to be expected at Lee; and my table was not disappointed. Our server was Theo; and he was professional and knowledgeable. Explained how the meal would be staggered, made sure that we we billed and out the door on time for our evening entertainment. The food runners explained what we would be eating, the server assists were very attentive in cleaning our table between courses. Top notch experience. The food was beautiful, it tasted so fragrant, came at a great temperature and we have no complaints about any part of the evening! As always, we will be back. Excellent experience.
