    My third dinner at a Chef Lee restaurant. The Slaw continues to be sublime. Wasn't so enamoured with the Spring Rolls or Chicken curry... but Asian Beef rescued the meal. Best in a group of 4-6 so you can taste more dishes.

    Hot dishes were cold when they came out, shrimp was overcooked and rubbery, waiter had a very think accent and could not understand what he was saying, Only good thing really was the slaw. Been many times and this was very disappointing, not sure if I will go back considering the amount of the bill and what was received in return. Almost $500 for 2 people with a few drinks, really not impressed, and for that much I should be.

    The staff was outstanding. My husband has an issue with his hearing and they gave me choices of where to sit and we were able to enjoy dinner with her family. Not to mention the food is absolutely delicious.

    Our waiter Shane was incredibly impressive, kind respectful and attentive. Made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. Would recommend the Singapore Slaw to share! We will be going back.

    Great flavours and great ambiance. The cod and braised beef dishes were our favourites. We also enjoyed the slaw. The octopus carpaccio was very spicy; maybe too much. We devoured the molten chocolate cake, which was one of the best. The dessert sampler of all-time favourites was also enjoyable and a nice mix of flavours The portion sizes were better than expected. One of the most memorable meals we’ve had in years. Would definitely come back.

    The food was amazing but we were seated in the ‘private dining room’ which felt like we were in a large coat closet. For the food and price we expected more of an ambiance.
