    The food was top notch for Greek food, everything tasted so good, food was a bit pricey for what you get in quantity but that is expected. The $38 Greek wine was amazing. It is a tight space so you don’t have a lot of room and it is always packed which is expected beauties of how good the food was. Great experience and great food so what else can you ask for.

    Lee Restaurant consistently exceeds my expectations. Every dish on the menu is a culinary delight, and I can confidently choose any item with my eyes closed, knowing it will be exceptional. The cocktails and mocktails are a journey of their own, infused with subtle Asian flavors that are truly out-of-this-world. Highly recommended! The ambience is phenomenal. Unlike other restaurants where the music is blaring like a nightclub, Lee Restaurant offers a serene environment where you can actually have a conversation with your dining companions. The service is impeccable, and our server, Gray, deserves an award for elevating the entire dining experience.
