Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Susur Lee

From the OpenTable editors: The new Waterworks building location for chef Susur Lee’s King West icon mirrors his menu’s old-new balancing act, pairing vintage and contemporary decor.

    I had such high hopes for this experience and I left feeling duped and disappointed. This restaurant is all fluff and no substance. Even the servers give you a moment to take pics of the dishes before they deconstruct, but don’t serve each dish to you?? A special cocktail creator who has to sell you on a cocktail of the day from her special cart?? But then our main waiter doesn’t take our drink order before we order food?? We ordered everything at once because we waited so long. The signature slaw is certainly a photo opp and is delicious, but ideally this is for three or four people and priced accordingly. I’m not convinced the $39 price tag was worth it for two. Can someone tell me how I was supposed to eat the signature spring rolls? By hand? Why am I using the same plate for my signature slaw AND my next dish, the signature spring rolls? I don’t get a fresh plate for each serving? Why am I pouring my own wine as my cocktail glass sits empty, as server after server walks by?? I poured our own wine all dinner! Why did the 3 scallops only come on two pieces of polenta? This is artistry? At the end of the day, if you are going to charge elevated prices, I expect elevated service and food. The restaurant is beautiful. The servers are everywhere and well dressed. The dishes come out pretty. And yet I will never return because the small things I expect from a restaurant like this, were missed.

    Food was amazing and the staff are all attentive. Ashley was the cherry on top, very sweet and made our dinner date so amazing with her top notch service. Can’t wait to go back every time we’re in town.

    Always amazing dinner at Lee, one of the best in the City. The slaw is worth the hype. My only issue with last night was the amount of times we were ‘reminded’ that we only had our table for two hours. We kept saying ‘we understand’ but they seemed not to believe us and it ruined it for us service wise.
