| - Went for a pre-theatre dinner last night and it was my third visit to Lee. The staff weren't quite done their pep talk/meeting when we arrived one minute past our reservation time, so we were left in the foyer to wait. Not exactly first class but not the end of the world. Coats were taken and we met the first of our 5 servers, which is just how it goes at this restaurant.
We ordered the Chef's Best for two and four dishes followed that were just spectacular. We had the slaw, cold-pressed octopus, scallops and lamb. They launched a new menu last night, and we were served the very first cold pressed octopus, personally prepared by Chef Lee. The flavours in this food are mind-blowing.
There was about a 40 minute wait for our final dish which pushed us cuttingly close to our show time. Our meal took 2 hours and 15 minutes so don't go here if you're looking for a quick bite to eat! Our server, Brandon, was an endless source of entertainment, very attentive, and up to date on current celebrity news.
Overall, you can't fault Lee Restaurant despite the minor hiccups, so I'm giving it a 5 star. We'll be back for our company holiday party in December in their private dining room (accessed through the kitchen so you can see behind the scenes!) so I'll do another review after that.
