We came to Lee for a special occasion dinner and it was our first time here. Took off 1 star because our entire meal from sitting down to paying our bill took about 3.5 hours. I think that's too long.
Overall, I thought this was a great restaurant, and a great meal (minus the time it took). Presentation for every dish was beautiful, and every dish that was brought to our table was explained in full.
Oysters - 4.5/5. I'm not sure of theiri name but they were from the East Coast. They were delicious and some were huge. The 3 sauces were unique, but I usually enjoy my oysters with just some horseradish or lemon so I didn't use the sauces much. No lemon wedge, but it did come with some other small citrus fruit (possibly a calamansi?).
Signature Singaporean Slaw - 5/5. I'm not a huge salad person and I didn't think salad could be this good, but boy, it was really good. Crispy, crunchy, light, tasty, and so many flavours mingling together. Def order this if you come here. The server bringing it to your table explains all of the ingredients and mixes it and serves it for you.
Top Chef Green Curry Chicken - 3/5. This is a signature dish, but honestly, I was underwhelmed. I thought the chicken was okay, and enjoyed the sides that it came with (rice cake and baked pineapple that had huge flavour). Can't say I would order it again though.
Slow Braised Beef - 5/5. We loved this dish and was sad it came out last because by that point we were pretty full. The beef was flavourful and tender. The horseradish sour cream on top was delicious. Our favourite dish of the night.
Dessert - 5/5. They had an apple strudel on special that night. The apple filling was in phyllo pastry which was different from your usual strudel. It came with rhubarb and vanilla icecream. Really yummy. I ate most of it even though I was already pretty full. BF got the molten chocolate cake. He really enjoyed it too. Would recommend if you're a big chocolate lover. It was a bit too chocolatey for me.
Drinks - 3.5/5. I had their signature mandarin lychee drink. It was a special that apparently Susur made up for Lunar New Year and they were still selling it because it was so popular. I liked it, but found it a little sour for my taste. BF had the mojito which was okay, but nothing special. Drinks were $18 and $17 each - a little steep.
Service - 4.5/5. Our server, Marc, was very nice and I thought he did a good job. He did have a pretty thick accent so it was a bit hard for us to understand everything he was saying, but we got the gist of it. Our table was wiped down of any spills/crumbs after every course which was appreciated. Every dish that came to our table was explained by the person bringing it (not just the name of the dish, but the ingredients as well). Our water glasses were continually topped up throughout the meal. I feel like the service staff here get excellent training.
Ambience - 5/5. I enjoyed the decor and thought it was upscale without being stuffy, and thought the space was unique, welcoming and comfortable. The clientele was also mixed. Lots of couples, but also groups of varying ages which is nice to see.
