    Food was excellent. Service was very good. I didn't like that even for a party of two they included a gratuity (and didn't say anything about it) and then left the percentages to tip another 18/20/22 percent. Plus, they came around taking photos and trying to sell them to you in little frames. It's a restaurant, not a cruise ship (or disney)

    Maaaaan I expected much more out of this establishment unfortunately. I’m a frequent diner at Mr. Chow, Philippe’s, Jue Lan Club. Sei Less was a huge disappointment in comparison to the 3 other establishments. My food took forever to come, the waiters were overwhelmed, the food was mid (definitely nothing to write home about), the plates on the table need to be replaced; they’re all scratched & banged up. They looked raggedy honestly. It’s hard to focus on your food when it’s a large crowd of people crowding at the bar for drinks & you’re seated directly across from the bar -_- Ppl walking back & forth, hovering over your food. This place gives a club/bar vibe, not a restaurant vibe at all. I know it’s the holidays & everyone is outside, etc but this place left a bad impression. I felt like I was at the club, not a fine dining establishment. I’m glad I didn’t spend over $100 for everything I purchased; I would’ve been even more disappointed. Seemed like majority of the people there were, were there to drink instead of eat. I’ll give them their credit; the drinks are STRONG. If you wanna get turnt & run up a bar tab, definitely go there but for food & a chill vibe, I DO NOT recommend. There is NO CHILL. I was approached at the door as if it were a club not a fine dining restaurant. This place is a joke and super overrated in my opinion. It’s not worth the money nor time. I wouldn’t go back here if I were starving to death. I’d rather eat cement or just straight up starve to death. Everyone who comes here just wants to be seen hence the vast majority standing hovering over the bar all night long.

    The food wasnt really up to my liking. I ordered filet Migon, lobster tail, chicken wontons. Everything has a mushy texture. I didn’t like it. The ambience was nice and photoworthy. The service from the staff could of been better.

    Food was excellent, service was pretty disappointing. Restaurant was half empty but they sat us next to the kitchen door for no reason when there were empty tables all around. Server took our order and then we never saw him again until we were done eating. Food was excellent but we would have ordered more rounds of drinks if we ever saw the server. $$ loss for the restaurant and annoying for us.
