    This is our second time at Lee's and we drove 4 hours to come here. Outstanding to say the least. My family was trying to figure out their favourite dishes and honestly I couldn't. Every dish had its own distinct awesome taste. The staff does an incredible job of making you feel special and welcome. We will 100% be making the 4 hour drive to come back.

    Lee is excellent! the blend of flavors and unique style in his dishes are a burst of absolute shiok on the palate. Beautiful clean flavors, not heavy tastes, a refreshing and just genius combination. Toronto is very lucky to have this divine restaurant. We live in the USA, but will go back just to enjoy perfection again!

    Of course the slaw!!!! Gluten free options limited but will try to accommodate by substituting or eliminating. Generous portions beautiful presentation and absolutely delicious. Felt a bit rushed but better than being ignored considering how busy they were. And……Chef Lee was in the building!

    A true Toronto gem. The food is absolutely amazing, the staff is so friendly and the venue is so warm and welcoming. We had the 9 course tasting menu and every course was so full of flavour and the ‘secret meeting’ cocktail is so good! Would definitely recommend Lee Restaurant

    A 12/10 experience! We had the chef’s order (tasting menu) with incredible wine recommended by the sommelier. One of the best dinners I’ve ever had!

    We had not been for 10 years when they were on King St. Beautiful high end space with wonderful atmosphere. We ordered 6 dishes for our group, 2 were excellent, 2 were very good and 2 were very bland and disappointing. Nice experience overall but fairly expensive.
