Lee Restarant

Restaurant:  Lee
Where:  603 King St. W., Toronto, ON.  416.504.7867

The grandparents are still here to babysit (one more day).  So, out for another meal.  The meal at One, sucked.  Then there was Colborne Lane but I have to pictured for that because it just wouldn't be appropriate at a business dinner.

The meal at Lee would be what we considered one of the best meals we've had in a long time.  Everything we ordered was good and most of exceeded our expectations.  I would eat here anytime (and all the time if we could).  I was a bit delinquent in my photography duties because I missed a few of our plates; probably because the food was so interesting.  The lighting wasn't the best for food photography.  My side of the table had a spotlight over it.  You'll be able to see that in the pictures.

The service was excellent.  Our waiter was knowledgeable in the food served at Lee.  The selection on the menu was great too.  We ordered the chickpea battered onion thing (pakoras basically), the watermelon salad (delightfully refreshing - ice cold watermelon cubes with balsamic & feta), singapore slaw (it was okay buy not spectacular - was recommended by people hubby knows but it would've been my last choice on the menu), black cod (this was tres excellent) and szechuan pork loin (thought it would be heavy but rather very light - slices of perfectly cooked pork wrapped around crisp julienne celery and apple).
