    Great service terrible food. The appetizers were great, however, the mains were very disappointing, lacked despite the beautiful presentation they were void of taste or drenched in conflicting sauces. Would not return.

    Although i did not get to meet my favorite chopped canada (i binge watched) chef Susur Lee, his manager (magic) Mike took great care of me! The team is an impressive well oiled machine and kindness and attention to detail is their mantra! The food was heavenly, the ambience was festive and i plan on returning!

    I decided after this meal and overall experience, that Lee is my new favourite spot in the city. Yes, it’s been around for years, but I just managed to find my way there last night! We had a great table, Ben was our great host for the night, and Gary felt like our own personal sommelier. We felt like we were VIP though I’m certain we were anything but. The food was obviously the star, Great recommendations and great portion sizes. Will definitely be back.

    All dishes were very delicious, but the portion was small. Therefore it's not friendly for bigger group to share the food. Need to order more to fit big party numbers.

    The food never fails to impress; these are real dishes, with just the right amount of South Asian influence, full of flavour and cooked to perfection. If there is a restaurant I'd return again and again it's Lee. It's our regular downtown outing because we always have an outstanding experience. Tonight the bartender came to our table and made the drinks next to our table after we ordered them, which was a nice touch (he had a mobile bar with all the accessories, of course).
