| - I love Lee's vibe. Partly upscale, partly lounge, modern and cool décor. Our table (that could fit 6) was two benches with red velvet cushions and pillows strewn across them.
The service was interesting. What I really liked was that when each dish was brought out, a thorough explanation of what is on your plate came with it. They also have "pop-up" dishes, where a server walks around with some dishes that are off the menu, asking if you'd like to buy it, which I think is an interesting concept. What I wasn't a fan of was the pushiness. I know Lee is the type of place that is generally meant to be eaten sharing style, with several plates and each person trying a bit of each, but my party did not want to. Our server a.) seemed to be pushing this on us and b.) kept trying to push more plates of food on us. He was nice enough, but the pushiness really gave a salesman kind of vibe that we could have done without, and tarnished the experience a bit.
The cocktails are pricy (generally $16-18ish). I went with the Sangria and honestly, it was the best Sangria I've had, so I didn't mind dishing out a few extra bucks! Not skimpy on the alcohol content, and full of a variety of fresh fruit. Yum.
I opted to go with a big ole plate of Jerk Ribs with a ginger and mango sauce. I like my spice a bit lighter, so I was worried at first, but I found the spiciness just perfect. Though that being said, since I like mine a bit milder, someone who is looking for a spicy jerk may be a bit disappointed. They were good - though I would say nothing stood out about them that would make me order them again.
I also tried the peking duck that was also good (served to eat in a pancake like a wrap and you put them together yourself), though I felt the duck perhaps a bit overcooked.
I was eyeing a friends Cheeseburger Spring Rolls - they looked delicious! I will definitely try them out if I come back!
For the dessert I had a warm chocolate banana cake with a homemade marshmallow dressed with coconut that came with some sort of sorbet or ice cream that I can't recall the flavor of. Again, it was okay, but nothing spectacular that stood out.
I tried some of the chocolate peanut butter ganache bar and it was decadant and fantastic - highly recommended if you're looking for a rich, delicious dessert.
Overall a good experience, and a neat place to check out at least once. The menu has some really cool variety, so there is something for everyone! Though in terms of Susur's restaurants, I'd definitely say I prefer Bent.
