    Chef Lee excelled again with the 2025 New Year eve menu. We were seated in the private room which was much quieter than the main seating area. We loved it because we could converse.

    We had a lovely NYE dinner that was a set menu with wine pairing and it was fabulous. Exactly what we were looking for the ring in the new year. The staff are lovely and Chef Lee was mingling as well. Ambiance is great at the new location. Will definitely be back.

    Excellent service. Great food. Nothing was below exceptional. The new location is also quieter and easier to have a conversation at. We had a few people with food preferences and although there was a set menu Lee’s did a great job accommodating everyone such that they did not feel like they missed out on anything.

    Great place for an anniversary celebration, service was divine, and a little celebration plate at the end and several origami’s made with our napkins between courses kept us feeling special. Food was great too! Thank you for helping us celebrate.

    Was seated at the bar, which was empty the entire dinner, but placed at the end closest to the bathroom/kitchen. Overall, it was a fine evening.

    Lee Restaurant consistently exceeds my expectations. Every dish on the menu is a culinary delight, and I can confidently choose any item with my eyes closed, knowing it will be exceptional. The cocktails and mocktails are a journey of their own, infused with subtle Asian flavors that are truly out-of-this-world. Highly recommended! The ambience is phenomenal. Unlike other restaurants where the music is blaring like a nightclub, Lee Restaurant offers a serene environment where you can actually have a conversation with your dining companions. The service is impeccable, and our server, Gray, deserves an award for elevating the entire dining experience.
