    Perhaps the best service we’ve ever had in a restaurant. The food was outstanding to say the least. Chef was even kind enough to come by for a visit and photo for my 50th birthday. We’ll be back!

    The food was great and very hig portions and service was very lovely, however as my drink I ordered an elderflower sour which smelled horribly like very old egg whites. I always drink whiskey sours and cocktails with egg whites and I have never smelled the old egg smell in any drink ever before. I ended up feeling really ill after the dinner as well but I am not sure if it was something in the food or the questionable egg whites. Overall if I hadn’t gotten sick right after food I would definitely give a 5 start since I really enjoyed the food and service.

    We had a wonderful experience. The service was excellent. We loved our server Regina, she was friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding. We got to meet chef Lee, which was the cherry on top. He was very kind and took a few pictures with all of us. We had brought my 15 year old nephew for his birthday and chef Lee took the time to chat with him and take a picture with just the 2 of them. It really meant a lot to my nephew as he is a big fan of Susur Lee. We look forward to coming back.

    Great service terrible food. The appetizers were great, however, the mains were very disappointing, lacked despite the beautiful presentation they were void of taste or drenched in conflicting sauces. Would not return.

    Although i did not get to meet my favorite chopped canada (i binge watched) chef Susur Lee, his manager (magic) Mike took great care of me! The team is an impressive well oiled machine and kindness and attention to detail is their mantra! The food was heavenly, the ambience was festive and i plan on returning!

    I decided after this meal and overall experience, that Lee is my new favourite spot in the city. Yes, it’s been around for years, but I just managed to find my way there last night! We had a great table, Ben was our great host for the night, and Gary felt like our own personal sommelier. We felt like we were VIP though I’m certain we were anything but. The food was obviously the star, Great recommendations and great portion sizes. Will definitely be back.
