    Outstanding. Food was great, service was great. It was my wife's birthday, just the two of us, and I wanted something special. I booked a booth beforehand and let the staff know it was her birthday. We had to change the time of our reservation beforehand - easy process there. When we arrived the booth was set aside, and a birthday card sat on our table. Staff brought her a nice birthday dessert later on. We have been to Earl's at King West several times now. I really recommend it.

    We came to Lee Restaurant for our anniversary dinner and had phenomenal experience, from the service to the meals prepared, it was the perfect date night. We selected all three “signature” dishes, the flavours of all were so unmatched from anything we have ever tasted before, nothing was missing, everything amazing. Each of the dishes are shareable which additionally makes it perfect for couples. We highly recommend to anyone, enjoy!

    This was our first visit and we opted for the bar space. You have the option of a la carte or a five course menu. We totally recommend the five courses option. We started with a cocktail where I had the Daisy and my spouse chose an old fashioned with a twist that had Armagnac. Both were amazing and carefully crafted. The food is beautifully presented and the flavour profiles have been meticulously procured. The service is extremely professional and each course was provided with a proper description of what we would be dining on flavour wise. Absolutely would return without hesitation. Thank you so much to all the staff for the lovely evening.
