LECIEL

The staff were very enthusiastic and attentive when presenting and recommending menu items, which made the experience even better. The food was delicious—everything we ordered tasted amazing. The cocktails were well-balanced and flavorful; we each ordered 2–3 drinks during happy hour, and it was absolutely worth it. Highly recommend everyone to come and try this place!

My girlfriends and I came here for dinner on a Monday night to check out the new spot, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The space feels elevated without being pretentious, and the food was delicious across the board. Huge shoutout to Reese 💞 she was incredibly attentive, friendly, and gave great recommendations. You can really feel when a server cares, and she made our experience even better. Also, don’t sleep on the cocktails! Their drink menu is thoughtful and well-balanced. We ended up trying a few and loved every one. Overall, amazing food, great service, and a vibe that makes you want to come back. We’ll definitely be returning.

LECIEL is easily one of the most exciting additions to the LES. The space is intimate and stylish, but the real magic is in the level of detail they put into the menu. I usually lean toward heavier starters, but the Endive dish is a masterclass in balance. It’s light and crisp but packed with complexity—the bitterness of the endive is perfectly cut by a sweet peach jam and the creamy sharpness of blue cheese. The addition of mixed nuts adds a great crunch by far tithe Endive at Leciel is easily one of the most memorable salads I’ve had so far. Beyond the food, the staff were just lovely. They were so attentive and genuinely seemed excited to walk us through the menu and share their favorites. It’s rare to find a place that feels this "high-end" but stays so welcoming and unpretentious. Will be back soon!

Such an amazing restaurant with great service. My best friend and I tried three different drinks. I’ve never enjoyed drinks as much as I did here. We ordered, the salmon crudo, brusssel sprouts, fries, and the branzino. The flavors were out of this world, and everything tasted so fresh. Everything was perfect and cooked to perfection. I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu.

Overall was great and worth visiting. Drinks were amazing and very enjoyable to continue further rounds especially during their happy hours. Food was amazingly fine plating yet delish. Will def be back again soon to try other dishes. Last but not least, a must try dessert was a Panna Cotta 10/10/10, instagramable yet yum!

We got seated at the bar right away on a Friday night, and the vibe was amazing! Super chill and fun — we ended up staying for six drinks. We ordered three dishes and loved every single one. The bacon & shrimp with cheese grits was a standout — crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and packed with flavor with the owner himself mentioned over the southern style from Texas.The tiger prawn linguine was delicious, and the chicken steak with mashed potatoes was so tender and flavorful (they said it’s took over 24hrs for the chicken) We ended the night with panna cotta and crème brûlée topped with boba black tea ice cream — both were so good! Overall, great food, great drinks, and awesome vibes. Definitely coming back!

A really incredible culinary experience. The raw & crisp is, quite possibly, the greatest thing I have ever eaten in my life. The flavors really surprised me and seemed to explode in my mouth like champagne. Delicious. I got the spicy beef burger for my entree and it was really delicious, like a chili burger with a gourmet flair. For dessert, we tried panna cotta and it was very nicely presented and tasted excellent. The flavors seemed to unlock in layers as it dissolved in my mouth, starting out creamy and ending with the butter crumble. I don’t even have the vocabulary to accurately describe how complex the flavors really were. It’s an awesome menu.

Got to try this spot after they've only opened for 3 weeks! Really delicious and bold flavors -- this is everything I want from a New American meal that's truly innovative with flavors. The cocktails were super unique and carefully thought out. You definitely get Asian notes and flavors from each of them. I got the Leciel and it was creamy and delicious, but you can't go wrong with any of them. For starters, we got the salmon crudo and the brussel sprouts. I could literally eat a whole bucket of the brussel sprouts. For mains, each one knocked it out of the park. The tiger prawn linguine is supposed to be inspired by a fusion of Thai and Cajun seafood boil. The steak came with three different sauces and it was a rich and creamy delight. The Branzino was delightfully crispy and fluffy as well. All around great weekday and weekend meal! Prices aren't egregious either, considering portions are sizeable too. Ambiance and service were attentive and wonderful too. Definitely give it a try!!

New spot in LES I def recommend! John was amazing and very knowledgeable! The happy hour was worth it. Leo the bartender was amazing as well! 10000/10000 Support them!

Amazing new neighborhood restaurant. I was surprised by the caliber this new spot brings to the table. Great food and people. I will definitely come back!

My second time at this restaurant -- excellent food and drinks! The location is perfect. Although the space is small, the corner building with glass walls all around makes it feel open and inviting. I love it here and will definitely come back for a date night.

They just opened a couple weeks ago right around the corner from me where Tiny's Giant sandwich shop used to be. I still miss tiny's, but this is a great new little neighborhood spot. I came alone, early on a Saturday and it was fairly busy. Although I was able to grab a spot at the bar. Staff was very welcoming and quite friendly. They were very helpful with the details of the menu. I ended up with the linguine with tiger prawns which was fantastic. Everything else that was coming out for the other diners looked amazing. I spoke with the folks next to me and they really loved the lasagna, beet salad and the beef tartar. The mushroom soup looked incredible and I really wish I had ordered it. The wine list is a little limited and I had a couple of glasses of an organic French Sauvignon blanc which was delicious and complimented my dinner nicely. I highly recommend the place and I can't wait to try the rest of the menu.
