LOVE Sei Less! Such a fabulous spot, buzzing with energy and a very hip clientele. Oh, and the food is AMAZING! Had me at edamame dumplings with truffle and the little spoonful of lobster. Sea Bass...divine! But the people watching and friendly ambiance make it a super fun place to see and be seen. #hugefan

** This review is based off Valentines Day weekend** I paid a visit to a restaurant for the very first time with my date. The atmosphere was quite delightful, setting a pleasant but hip and modern atmosphere. For those who have disabilities, there a 16-step stair flight to get to the hostess stand and sadly, no elevator was available to assist guests who might have difficulties (that I saw readily available for a patrons). I arrived 30 minutes ahead of my reservation. I talked the hostesses who confirmed my phone number, and she let me know she would call me or tap me when my table is ready. I would recommend that anyone else who shows up early not hesitate to pester the hostess to ensure they secure their table. Had I not voiced my presence as time passed into my reservation, I would likely would have been left waiting in. After being seated, unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. Despite our cozy spot near the bar, it was nearly impossible to catch the eye of our waiter. When I inquired about whether a particular drink was served hot or cold, I felt like my question was completely ignored, as the waiter said, "I don't know" and then walked away. Besides that, food was really good. My date and I shared the Nine Seasons Jumbo Prawns and the chicken wontons. For drinks I had the NY Sidecar which strong (which I like) and my date had the Yuzu margarita which was light and a on the sweet side.
