    I was sent to the bar! Because my reservation was not honored! I was told a twenty minute wait I was there for my reservation early. The bar gets extremely crowded and people will hawk you for a seat!

    My Family and I had a wonderful experience at Sei Less. We celebrated my daughter’s birthday and our waiter Reid, was a complete sweetheart. He was so kind, courteous, thoughtful, and a genuine nice person. Ambiance was beautiful and the staff were nice. I would definitely recommend going to Sei Less, make sure you ask for Reid 🥰.

    Honestly, if it wasn't for the birthday boy wanting to eat there and talked about it for months, I would have left. The food is overpriced. Honestly, I didn't like the food at all. If you have over five people they make you do family style, which is horrible because everybody does not eat the same thing and people have food allergies. Then the manager tried to tell us it was policy but then came to us and said we can sit with the seven people but we have to spend $700, then they charge us $50 to bring the cake in this place is just money hungry and does not care about the clients

    Food was really good. Their spicy tuna crispy rice starter was delicious as well as their shrimp dumplings. Emilia our server was very attentive and caring. The negatives were: - table way too small for the plates. There was no space to put anything and it became very uncomfortable because they do not think about the order/time of delivery. I don't think Emilia was able to control this as she said we would first get the starters and the main dish afterwards. But we got it right after the dumplings and seriously, we struggled with the space. Had to put the bottle of water and 2 glasses by the window at some point. - their website talks about dress code and the exclusive nature of the restaurant. This is absolutely not true. Many of the people at the restaurant were dressed very poorly/trashy and were quite drunk. - Nobody offered to check in the coats. There was no space to hung the long coats once seated. For expensive clothing, we had to put it again by the window (fortunately one of the waiters came with a napking and allowed us to put them folded on top of it). - I don't agree with restaurants adding the gratuity automatically. Overall, not a restaurant I'll visit again. Ambience not recommended.
