Susur Lee is a fine chef. I was completely and overly impressed with the service and display at his King West restaurant. Located along a chain of clubs, bars and restaurants, Lee's is a noticeable hot spot to check out if you have money in your wallet and raging taste buds ready to eat flowers (literally.) I recommend the coleslaw salad. Sure it sounds boring and bland, but it is actually a vegans delight! The presentation of this salad is about a foot high and is prepared right before your eyes by a well-trained waiter who explains everything that is in the dish, ingredient by ingredient...monologue style. Dining at Lee's is like having food AND entertainment all tied up in one. Food that you would never have assumed goes well together is created by the talented Susur Lee. Lee's restaurant is an architect's dream. High ceilings that are held with wooden planks and bricks walls create a loft feeling. Anyone who is claustrophobic would love this spot. The one and only thing that could be changed is the plastic glass tables that resemble a strippers dancing table. If you plan on playing footsie with your date, do it elsewhere unless you want everyone to see.
Overall, the food is impeccable and the service is amazing.
I give Susur Lee's a "4.5/5" on my "D+D" scale
