I was very disappointed with my experience at Lee on Friday night.
First of all the service was terrible. It took ten minutes for the bartender to make me a martini while we waited for a table. Once we were seated it took another ten minutes for a server to come over. He took our drink orders and scurried away before we were able to tell him we were ready to order.
When a server finally did come to take our order he was friendly and helpful, however the evening was already marred with the poor service from before.
We had:
The Singapore slaw - 5 star dish -- also the signature dish (which is pretty sad) but still it is very tasty.
Cheese burger spring rolls - we were curious as to what this would taste like. (So now you don't have to try it.) I think this is made with CHEEZE WHIZ. SKIP THIS.
The rack of lamb - this was cooked perfectly but under seasoned. It had no flavour.
The black cod - made with some sort of mustard that, for me, just didn't really work.
Perhaps I am so disappointed with this meal because I have been to both Susur and Lee back when they were their own entities. One of the best meals I've ever had in Toronto was back in 2006 at Susur, and I've been to Lee in the more recent past and the food was always very tasty. I really expected more from this chef. But even if I had no expectations, this was a sub-par meal.
The ambience is nice.
