    My Family and I had a wonderful experience at Sei Less. We celebrated my daughter’s birthday and our waiter Reid, was a complete sweetheart. He was so kind, courteous, thoughtful, and a genuine nice person. Ambiance was beautiful and the staff were nice. I would definitely recommend going to Sei Less, make sure you ask for Reid 🥰.

    Food was really good. Their spicy tuna crispy rice starter was delicious as well as their shrimp dumplings. Emilia our server was very attentive and caring. The negatives were: - table way too small for the plates. There was no space to put anything and it became very uncomfortable because they do not think about the order/time of delivery. I don't think Emilia was able to control this as she said we would first get the starters and the main dish afterwards. But we got it right after the dumplings and seriously, we struggled with the space. Had to put the bottle of water and 2 glasses by the window at some point. - their website talks about dress code and the exclusive nature of the restaurant. This is absolutely not true. Many of the people at the restaurant were dressed very poorly/trashy and were quite drunk. - Nobody offered to check in the coats. There was no space to hung the long coats once seated. For expensive clothing, we had to put it again by the window (fortunately one of the waiters came with a napking and allowed us to put them folded on top of it). - I don't agree with restaurants adding the gratuity automatically. Overall, not a restaurant I'll visit again. Ambience not recommended.

    Atmosphere and service were great except when they shove a camera in your face to try to sell pictures to you. Not a fan. Food was good all but the fried rice which was mediocre at best.

    Place was really new. I got the Asian salad and rib entree. Salad was really good but the ribs tasted off….like it was made 2 days ago and it was reheated in a microwave. Service was great! People there are really nice. Just wished the food was as good as the service.
