    Very interesting decor and menu. Seriously excellent service for lunch. The prix fixe is the way to go. Plenty of food and well priced.

    This was a great restaurant experience. Everything was great! Sometimes service is not as attentive, but still good whenever you request something.

    Food was ok. Largely run of the mill Asian fusion fare. Service was terrible. Our waiter was totally disinterested and vanished for long periods of time even though the restaurant wasn’t busy.

    It was ok overall. Food was fine - nothing stood out as must tries or anything to return for. Service was great, however they automatically include 20% gratuity. The check is also confusing with so many different totals.

    Sei less is a popular hot spot. Love the ambiance and music. However the hostess was very dismissive and we had to wait over 20 minutes to be seated when the restaurant was not crowded.
