    Brett was absolutely amazing..he stepped in for someone that was juggling multiple tables since it was a very busy Saturday night (just before Xmas). Brett had every detail covered and made an extra step in the end to bring over desserts for 2 birthdays that we were celebrating and kept it discreet as requested but still fun. Really appreciated the service for such a busy time and the food was outstanding as always. Thank you!

    The service from start to finish was perfect. Very attentive and friendly. A nice chill and relaxing space with just the right amount of cultural vibe. Most importantly the food was amazing. We took our three teenage boys and they all found a dish they loved.

    The meal and service were amazing. We had the Escargot and Foie Gras to start which were both beautifully presented and delicious. Then we had the Trout Meunière and Half Roasted chicken which so flavourful and delicious. We added Brussel sprouts which were the best I’ve ever had with a maple glaze, and Frites. For dessert we had a chocolate souffle which was beautiful and heavenly. We were celebrating a birthday and it was the perfect place. Highly recommend! Also if you love wine the have the longest wine list I’ve ever seen. It was literally a book.

    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!
