A Running List of New Restaurants That Opened in New York City, January 2022 | Eater NY

"Behind a mostly unmarked door in a mural, Sei Less opens into an ornate 350-seat restaurant and bar across multiple rooms, serving items like pastrami spring rolls, shrimp fried rice, and chicken satay from a team with pedigrees at Delmonico’s, Philippe Chow, and Jue Lan Club." - Emma Orlow

Sei less is definitely the spot, & I know people be hyping it up cause the celebrities be out there but they definitely do hold their name up. I loved the experience, waiters were on top of everything but didn’t over do it! The food was amazing, there hasn’t been a thing that I’ve tried here that I wasn’t crazy about. They had TV’s everywhere, they have so many spots where you can take pictures.

went saturday evening to celebrate my boyfriends birthday. even though we were a few minutes late, they took us in right away. the workers and servers were very nice and attentive, always coming up and asking if we needed anything and clearing the empty dishes. inside is beautiful and dark, with chinese aesthetic/paintings so it was really pretty. of course since it’s an upscale restaurant, the prices are much much higher than if you were to go to a regular chinese food restaurant but the food wasn’t bad. we got the kung pao chicken and the beijing chicken, which actually tasted the same haha. for appetizers, we got chicken dumplings, lobster spring rolls, and the chicken satay. the dishes were fresh and came fairly quick. the price wasn’t too bad for the 2 of us considering we ordered 2 entrees, appetizers, two drinks, dessert. we would recommend!

Came here Thursday night for an early dinner with my coworkers. I’ve been wanting to check this place out for a while because of all the great reviews, and I’m glad to say it definitely lived up to the hype. The vibe was super cute, the food and cocktails were on point, and the service was great. The only thing that really missed the mark was the sweet and sour chicken—it was honestly so bad we had to send it back. But everything else we ordered was amazing, so no complaints there. It’s definitely an upscale spot, and I’ve heard they do enforce the dress code, especially on weekends. I’d totally recommend it for a date night—it gives off that sexy, grown-up vibe. Can’t wait to come back with my husband!

I came here last night, and unfortunately, the host on duty was very unwelcoming. She looked at us like we didn’t belong there, which immediately set a negative tone for the evening. The food itself was good, but the service overall was poor and disorganized. It felt like no one really knew who was serving our table — I had about four different waiters throughout the night. I do appreciate that they packed the food for us, but the overall experience lacked the professionalism and polish you’d expect. The vibe was much more sports bar than fine dining NYC.

Fun and cool place, louder than average restourant, because of the music, but it’s the vibe. Food delicious, but more sweet than sour. Drinks - nice variety. Rec lichee martini and sei less-drink more.

Excellent Service. A well deserved 5 stars for the staff. The manager / supervisor on Sunday was lovely. I was made to feel welcome and the communication regarding food allergies was kind and professional. Clientele is a mix of young people 20-30’s. I would definitely return. Thanks to Kris B for hosting 🌟

From the moment I walked into Sei Less, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance is the perfect blend of sexy and sophisticated, dim lighting, luxe decor, and a vibe that just screams upscale NYC nightlife. The service? Impeccable. Every staff member was warm, attentive, and made us feel like VIPs from start to finish. Our server had great recommendations and made sure everything was timed perfectly. no rush, no delays, just smooth, elevated dining. Now let’s talk about the food… absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully plated, and crafted with care. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want a luxe night out, this place delivers on all fronts. 10/10. I’ll definitely be back!

Food & Drinks: If you can just stick to the appetizers. The mains really lacked in flavor once we finished the appetizers. The appetizers did not disappoint at all! The drinks were phenomenal, it will give you a buzz and tastes great! Service: If I could give 0 stars I would. He was inattentive, I had to constantly find him when we needed something. He never checked in on how our meal was going or if we even needed anything. The buss-boys were seen more frequently and asked us how we were more than our sever, definitely brings the experience value down by a lot. Ambiance/Vibes: Music was GREAT! The atmosphere is very picturesque for all the content creators out there. Will I be going back…. Definitely not. Do I recommend it - yes. This is a one time place to eat, I can get better service and food elsewhere for 1/2 the price, but it was fun for a midweek girls night. Bathrooms were clean which I love.!

My food was absolutely delicious. I went in for an early solo dinner for my quick trip to NYC. I ordered the salt & pepper prawns, veggie lo mein, and broccoli. It was all divine. To accompany my drink I had their version of a French 75, featuring Hennessy VSOP. The brute champagne was a nice compliment to the prawns which were large, juicy & fried to perfection. The broccoli was fresh & the sauce was so delicious. Will go back.

Things I enjoyed: NY Side Car (cocktail), service, restaurant ambiance. Things I did not enjoy: Black Bean Shrimp entree - very salty and otherwise flavorless. No other notable spices. I also did not enjoy the Sei Less Drink More (cocktail). It was too heavy on the passionfruit puree.

Please, please please trust my review. I have never put one review in my life, but this one needs a special attention. This is the worst southeast Asian food I've ever had irrespective of the money. The service was not that bad. The server was friendly, but the fool is really horrible and is very tourist focused Resturant. Any New York City resident doesn't need to go there 1). It show that the only have few reservation spots available. We were at this Resturant for 2 hours on Friday evening from 7-9 PM and it was 90% empty. (It is a judge Resturant) 2) food is worse that a Chinese takeout 3) over priced and over rated. This is fake ratings

Okay, I'm going to give a heads up that I have very few pictures to share, because when the food came it was The Hunger Games, y'all. Went with a group of 14 or so, and we sat in the side room that was big enough it could have likely seated up to 20 or 25. This size was perfect. After cocktails, we shared a bunch of different appetizers -- chicken satay, a variety of dumplings, spring rolls. Everything was excellent, although I will say I didn't love the chicken satay. It was breaded and the peanut sauce tasted more buttery than peanutty. Don't get me wrong -- I still ate it, I'm not an ANIMAL... So it was good, just not what I was used to. Main courses? Two words for you: SESAME CHICKEN. This is not your average, hole-in-the-wall, Chinese takeout place sesame chicken (which is still pretty darn good) -- it was light, the chicken was tender, and the sauce had something addictive in it, not sure what it was, but I couldn't stop eating it. We also had the pepper beef which was excellent -- again, extremely tender beef, with a sauce that had a lovely kick to it. I had only a little bit of the noodles and fried rice that were circulated. I was definitely getting my protein on! Find a way, somehow, someway, to save room for dessert. How can an Asian fusion restaurant also be an outstanding bakery? Not sure whether they get their desserts from outside or make them themselves, but again, we circulated two platters of small desserts that they cut up for us so we could have a small piece of each. Cheesecake, strawberry tart, creme brûlée that was more like a cross between cheesecake and a traditional creme brûlée, and a magical chocolate THING whose name was, I think, "Oh my god this is so good." I cannot wait to return to this restaurant. It's an oasis of deliciousness with a speakeasy feel. Highly recommend!

The food was delicious! I would definitely be back! The wait to be seen once seated took a while. My friend had to get up from the table to go get a waiter to take our drink order. Then, had to get the waiter again to come take our meal order. Aside from that, the food was great! The vibe was dark with nice music. Great for a date.

Sei Less has a nice ambiance and is definitely a more high end/pricey place. I got the hot and sour soup to start and it was good and came in a large quantity for an appetizer. It tasted really good with white rice. The vegetable spring rolls were okay and not very crispy, I wouldn't get them again. The edemame was really good. I also got the vegetable dumplings and veggie Lo mein. I was happy with the amount of vegetarian options on the menu. The Lo mein was pretty good but I didn't love the dumplings. Decent service here as well.

Beautiful restaurant where you may spot a celebrity. Food and service were really good and prices and portions were actually proportionate in my opinion. Kung pao chicken w/jasmine rice-menu says with peanuts (traditional) however it came out with sesame seed glazed walnuts which was different for me, but a nice counter to the spice of the chicken. Really tasty, just a smidge salty Lobster spring rolls-really delicious King crab fried rice-delicious but king crab was a little hard to find and overall a smidge salty Shrimp lettuce wraps-delicious and didn't skimp on the shrimp Will most definitely return 9/10

Came here with a friend for dinner and a little celebration--per usual, he picked the spot (and did not disappoint). I arrived a bit ahead of our reservation, so I grabbed a seat at the bar to wait, sipping on a beer. Once we were seated, our server greeted us right away--friendly, attentive, and efficient. Now, onto the good stuff: the food was absolutely delicious. The standout for me? The Short Rib Bao Buns--perfectly tender meat wrapped in pillowy-soft buns with just the right balance of richness and flavor. Everything we ordered was thoughtfully prepared, and what really impressed me was how clean and light the dishes tasted. Given the fusion-Asian influence, I expected heavier, oil-forward fare--especially with the fried items--but that wasn't the case at all. Each dish was flavorful without feeling greasy or overdone. The space itself has a cozy, intimate vibe--ideal for date nights or small group dinners--and the playlist added a nice touch to the overall ambiance. One heads-up: they include gratuity automatically in the bill, so keep an eye out to avoid double-tipping (my friend almost did!). All in all, a fantastic spot for modern Asian flavors done right, with great vibes to match.

Mediocre at best. Low quality Chinese food there are just too many better options in New York. Quite spacious but the ambiance is lacking. I'll say less

The food at Sei Less was yummy. I went to Sei Less during lunch time and ordered the New York week lunch special $30 meal. An appetizer and an entree. I ordered the chicken wontons and the vegetable lo mein. The textured of the chicken wontons were crispy, just to my liking. The vegetable lo mein had lots of vegetables which I greatly enjoyed. The service was great. It wasn't busy as the weather the day I went wasn't the greatest weather day. I would come again to Sei Less, yummy food and beautiful atmosphere. 10/10 restaurant recommendation

i have been wanting to patronize this restaurant for some time now as it has seem to be the "it" spot since opening. But, unfortunately, I was disappointed. I made a reservation for an early dinner before a show on a Monday night. As expected, the place was pretty empty. It was a tad bit hard to find as the scaffolding obstruct any view of the restaurant. There was a very small sign on the building that indicated to us this was the right spot. We were seated immediately and our waiter was there to pour us some water and service us. Food- 3/5... for the price paid, I expected more on the portions chicken wonton - 5/5 Filet mignon with broccoli - 2/5 (filet was tender but it stops there. The sauce used was very overpowering. So much so I could only eat two pieces of meat and two piece of broccoli. Kung Pao Chicken - 2/5 - definitely not enough POW in that chicken. Vegetable fried rice- 4/5, really good Drinks - 5/5 Had a Sidecar and it was delicious!! Service - 4/5 Though the service was top notch, i was confused on why the waiter brought out a sparkler in a cup for my birthday because we opted out of dessert. I would rather have nothing at all than a sparkler in a empty glass. Ambiance 5/5- Very beautiful place, well decorated with lovely colors in a dark dining setting Overall, overpriced mediocre food, stingy portions, not worth it. If you want to visit there, have a drink and appetizer at the lovely bar and check it off your list

My friend took me here for restaurant week and to celebrate my birthday still. It was so nice and clean as it was my first time at the restaurant. The menu was limited but it was good nonetheless. If for crowded real quick as it was $45 for 3 course meal. Nice vibe and beautiful decor and will definitely recommend to my friends and will return myself.

Let me preface with this was a treat for me. A thank you which did not require a return. A Foodie does not say no to a meal. The opening reservation and we were led to the back. The space is spacious. There was music but it did not drown out our conversation. We ordered a multitude of appetizers and shrimp fried rice to round it out. Everything was delicious. Love the name and banner; Sei Less, Do more.

Fun spot for good Chinese American/Pan Asian food. The service is attentive and the vibe is good too. Ultimately nothing particularly unique, but a safe option in an area without a lot of great choices.

We decided to try this restaurant on a Friday evening around 9PM. There is street parking across from the restaurant and a parking garage directly next door to the restaurant. Arriving, there was a bouncer or security (?) out front who quite literally did nothing. He was leaning up against the door and barely made eye contact. Did not even pretending to enforce the dress code or appear to care who/what we were doing. I asked "is this Sei-Less?" as there were no obvious signs at the entrance and he respond "yeah", grudgingly, as if we were interrupting his evening and still not looking at us or even opened the door for us! Totally unprofessional and a little shocking for such a seemingly "upscale" place; so -1 star for that. Ambiance: dim-lighting, romantic but I can see this being a good spot for a girls/guys night. They played a lot of Hip-Hop and Afrobeats which seemed like an odd choice as the vibe is certainly more upscale/romantic than bar/lounge. However, the general crowd is early to mid-20s. I did see some older patrons but definitely catering more towards the college-age/GenZ/Millennial crowd. Many empty tables, but a lot more people started coming in around 10-11 PM. Food: Delicious. That's it. Delicious. We had the Shrimp and Vegetable dumplings. Shrimp dumplings had a large amount of shrimp inside, the dough was just right. Vegetable dumplings were a vibrant green color with fresh, crisp veggies inside. Then we got the Kung Pao chicken which had a great amount of white meat, crispy batter and the spice was just right in my opinion. Sweet and Sour chicken was also good, not too sweet with fresh fruit on the plate. Vegetable fried rice was flavorful and just enough to split between two people. Same thing with the Lo-Mein (we added almost all the protein options) and was absolutely delicious. Nothing was too greasy, it was just right. Drink: I just had the Lychee Martini. Beautifully presented but admittedly surprised at the creamy/milky texture. I don't recall them being so milky at other establishments? But it was okay - I've had better. Decent amount of alcohol. Service: Attentive, fast, friendly. We never found ourselves looking for our waiter - he was always right there and just in time to clear the table, fill waters, etc. The lovely ladies at the front of the house were a delight to speak to. Couldn't complain at all. All of the staff (except the bouncer/security guy) were welcoming and seemed genuinely happy to have us. TLDR; Attentive service, delicious food, confusing ambiance (are you a lounge or upscale, romantic restaurant?)

Great ambiance, good music, and great food. However, it's overpriced, and the value is not there unless you order fried rice. But that's just my opinion.

Food was tasty but nothing spectacular they set it apart from competitors. The grand Mariner prawns was their take on walnut shrimp which I like. I loved the music although it was hard to hear our waiter from time to time. The cocktails were good and strong. The service was quick and good came out fast. I would love to return for happy hour and sit at the bar. I'm not from the area but were told several celebrities walked in during our stay. I would return to ppl watch for sure ! The doorman or bouncer was so hospitable and gave great recommendations as well.

Came here thinking we'd get a restaurant week deal, not realizing the deal doesn't apply to weekends. We were bummed but decided to stay, so glad we did. Everything was perfect. From our waiter, to the drinks, to the delicious black pepper beef (THE most tender beef I've ever had). Great photo oops and decor.

I want to Sei Less for restaurant week with my friend. I actually loved the food. The drinks were OK, but they weren't bad. My waiter was nice. I had the vegetable lo mein chicken satay, which is always my favorite and she had the Kung cow chicken and we both just shared with each other just so we put all taste how it was and we had the crème brûlée as for dessert. I had a good experience. The music is good as well. I just hate that they would circle around the table to pick up the plates, so that kind of felt like we were rushing to eat to give them a plate the ambience is really nice. A lot of people like to take pictures at the stairs But overall I liked it and I will definitely be back again.

Came back here after visiting last year for the first time. We loved it last year. Good food and service. This year a little different. Food was ok ( not as good as we once had ). But the service was awful. We came here for our 28th wedding anniversary because my wife liked it so much last time . We ordered apps. Got 1 refill on drinks which we had to flag them down and ask for . We were there for almost 1hr and 30 min and our waiter had still not come to ask if we wanted to order entrees . After waiting and no one coming back we flagged someone down to get our bill and we left and ordered pizza. Huge disappointment and can say we will def not be back. Also just a heads up the guys at the door are a little schetchy also. They kept eying my wife and it was just pretty uncomfortable . Unless you are in your early 20's. I would stay away from this place. And if your a female I wouldn't go here unless it's with a large group

Horrible experience at this establishment. The workers were very rude and we're not conscious of their surroundings at all. Whenever you go to the bathroom, they were always in the way and not self-aware. Our waiter was so rude and very short with us throughout the whole night. The food was subpar. I had this shrimp fried rice that barely had any shrimp in it although I had to pay up charge of eight or nine dollars for the shrimp. The vegetables in the fried rice, literally looked like it came from me frozen pack. To top it all off we had a crazy gratuity added to the bill. Nothing is special about this restaurant. It's clear that people come for the ambience not the food. I will not be back.

I've had Sei less bookmarked for a while and decided to spontaneously walk in and grab lunch this past weekend while spending the afternoon in the city. I did not have a reservation but the restaurant was pretty empty on a Saturday afternoon so I was able to be seated immediately. I ordered a lychee martini and it was delicious! One of the best I've ever had. I decided to keep lunch light and just order the crispy tuna and it was good. I saw that Yelp had a check-in offer and asked the stuff about it. They seemed a bit unsure if it was eligible to be redeemed but ultimately I was able to use it. They asked to take a picture of the check in offer as proof of redemption. The staff came out with sparklers and sang happy birthday to me (it was my birthday weekend ) and offered a complimentary shot which was very nice. A note: gratuity is included in the bill I was looking forward to seeing the Drake sign but it wasn't lit up since it was the day time. I was a bit disappointed at that. Overall a nice place to eat and conveniently located close to Penn station.

I planned a bday dinner here a few years ago and have also been a few times with friends for dinner. It's easy to get a reservation and the process for my birthday was pretty smooth compared to other high end places I've been to. You need to leave a deposit and if you have over 5 people in your party you will need to do pre-fix which feels a little restrictive but it worked out to be less of a hassle then everyone ordering from the menu. The menu I went with was $100 pp + $100 admin fee for a selection of appetizers, entrees and sides which they circulate for the night. You can also order more and take any leftovers but that's not including drinks so it was definitely expensive for around 15 people. The food, drinks, music and service are great! I've found the hostess girls to be a little rude and not super accommodating or informative. Good choice for a bday or girls night!

I have to say I really liked this place! I went here for a birthday celebration with about 5 people and overall it was a lovely experience Food: 5/5 I actually really enjoyed my food. The chicken was very flavorful, the scallion pancakes were crispy and flaky and the lomein had me slurping it down. I went to two other popular pan asian restaurants the same week and I have to say the food here was the best out of the 3! Service: 5/5 it was great I had no problems. We were seated before the full party was there and I wasnt given grief like so many other places tend to and for me its the little things that matter. Drinks 5/5: They had me leaningggg by the end of the night. I wouldnt even mind going here just for this. Ambiance: 5/5 this is a beautiful restaurant with alot of photo worthy areas. Overall I had a great experience and I cant wait to go back in the near future.

I was waiting a while to come visit this place.. tends to be another industry staple. I've heard many conflicting feedback on the food here, but I finally made it. The drinks were good and pretty at the bar. It was a nice vibe and set up. We tried the Yuzu margaritas and a glass of the veuve Cliquot. We enjoyed being at the bar so we decided to just stay there with our party of nine. The welcome hostess wasn't that nice. She definitely had an attitude and her face just was not welcoming at all. She reminded me of the soup guy memes. The food was OK. Definitely overpriced and the portions were small. The lobster siumai was tasty. The fried rice was regular. The short rib was tasty super tender. I was mostly definitely disappointed with the filet mignon and broccoli. (Beef & broccoli ) it was drowning in sauce!! you can only take a bite or two and then your palate is just over it. All is drowning in the sauce... the broccoli, and protein. I definitely did not like that dish. Good thing we had a lot of shots to get over the food and enjoy the rest of the night. The bartender she was OK as well. She was quick to remind us that she's doing a lot of work. I guess it was hints to make sure she was tipped well on top of the automatic added tip. All good. Would I come here to eat again probably not I would rather definitely eat regular Chinese takeout but I would come here to drink.

-Beautiful decor and interior! -Great and attentive staff that checked in on us during our time there - Great music but a bit too loud so my friend and I had to yell across the table to each other in order to hold a convo - Drinks were tasty and strong - Food/drink presentation was nice - My friend got the sweet and spicy chicken which they said was too sweet for their liking and despite asking for extra spice there was barely any hint of pepper. I got the filet mignon with broccoli. The brown sauce that in came in was a little sweet and too thick for my liking but overall the meal was okay- I wish the dish came out hotter but the meat was nice and tender. - Overall, it's a great date spot but if you're a picky eater it may not be for you as food items may not be to your exact liking despite your specific instruction. I'll come here again for drinks and small bites.

Always a vibe here if you're in midtown. It's great for a romantic night, for friends cheers or any type of celebration. Definitely great place for a photo opportunity. It's an Asian fusion, the shrimp lettuce wrap (always on point) is a must and the dumplings any one of them are good, but my favorite are the edamame ones. The service is normal friendly and attentive. The hype-beast crowd starts after about 11 if you're trying to catch someone well known.

So this review is a bit overdue. I stopped by one afternoon to get food to go. I decided to order the fried chicken wontons and the beijing chicken. The restaurant is really beautiful inside and I would definitely go back just to eat there. I placed my order at the bar, the young woman helping me was very nice. I get home later and warmed up the wontons in the air fryer. They were sooooo good. They were nice and crispy and seasoned well. The beijing chicken was delicious, however, I literally had maybe 3 or 4 pieces of walnut in my order. I was a little disappointed because the dish is literally just chicken and walnuts. The food was a bit expensive but I would definitely go back. I'd probably do a few appetizers instead of the chicken.

My wife and I had an early dinner here after watching a Broadway matinee. The restaurant was pretty empty, so we were seated promptly without a reservation on a Saturday. Very cool Asian themed decor. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was creative and tasty. We shared an Asian Green Salad (wonderful), Salt and Pepper Prawns (delicious), Sea Bass (very nice), and Cauliflower side dish (amazing). However, I do have two complaints. We ordered the Lobster Spoons as an appetizer and it was so chewy it was practically inedible. At $29, this is not acceptable. I informed our server about the poor quality of the dish. He said he would inform the kitchen immediately, but we were still charged for the dish. My second complaint is that given the prices of the menu items, they should offer free refills on their iced tea. But for my 2 complaints I would have rated the restaurant a 5.

Came to Sei Less with a group of colleagues for dinner. Cool , low key vibe with a nice bar area ( definitely want to come back for that ). The menu is varied with an Asian fusion twist and the table opted for some rock shrimp and soup - both very good. The mains featured everything from Salmon to chicken fried rice accompanied by some nice wine . Service was very good as well . Overall all , a solid choice in the Big Apple for Asian fusion eats

My friends and I went to Sei Less for my birthday and had an incredible meal. We got the pre-fix menu and everything we ate was amazing. The chicken wontons were super crispy, the rock shrimp tempura was super delicious and came with a sauce that was out of this world. The star of the show in my opinion was the black pepper beef which was super juicy and flavorful. Sei less is one of the coolest restaurants in the city, and the food is amazing. Definitely stop by for your next dinner!

The interior is beautiful - from the moment you walk in, there is art and lighting curated just so. This is an American elevated take on Chinese cuisine, executed very well, and vegetarian friendly. We made a reservation day of and we're seated promptly. Everything was delicious - we shared vegetable lomein and beef lomein with the sweet and sour chicken and the vegetable dumplings. My friend is the vegetarian but I enjoyed the veggie dishes just as much! They also served us complimentary bok choy which also was good. Prices range from $25-40 for entrees and $15 for appetizers. Cocktails were $20 - I think pretty with it for the area. The only very unsettling thing was they had a photographer come by and take your photo and then try to sell you it in a frame. ???

The food was very good and the ambience was nice and intimate. The shrimp appetizer can get tiring after a while, but it is delicious at first. The Beijing chicken is sweet but tasty. Upscale Asian cuisine.

The meat was super tender on the filet mignon, and the pick me up martini was strong but delicious. The Kung Pao Chicken could've been a little spicier and the portions perhaps a little larger, but can't complain. Would definitely come here again before a night out, great vibes and great service. Very mindful of dietary restrictions.

Loved trying the restaurant week menu. Decor and vibes are great and customer service also top notch. The raspberries were missing from the second crème brûlée but understandable during restaurant week. Black prawn shrimp a little high in sodium but I've been eating out a lot lately. Crispy tuna was delectable and rock shrimp also great and nice portion. Really a 4.5! Entrees are $40 on average but lo mein is like $19 plus $10 more for lobster. So it's doable overall.

The ambiance of the place was very modern and music inspired. I will say it was a pretty interesting layout with a Drake theme ordeal. I was a big fan of the artwork they had in the restaurant. The staff were friendly. The vibes were definitely exclusive and it was very hard to get a reservation but overall it was a pretty good experience. I came there with a large party of friends and they did a great job hosting! The food was pretty good, a blend of Asian and American. Overall, it was quite the experience and I would go again.

Don't walk, RUN there! The food and the atmosphere never disappoints! Recently visited again for a birthday celebration and the food.... cooked to perfection! The lobster spoons were amazing and a must try! The drinks.... Boy were they good lol (strong ;-)). The service I must say, set them apart from a lot of places. My server was amazing and went out and beyond to ensure we had a great and memorable experience.

Sei Less has such an artistic well detailed ambiance. Love the decor throughout the entire restaurant. Each area WOW you. The infinity round bar which was fully stocked with liquor and champagne. My job decided to host a dinner party for the entire team. We had a V.I.P area which was lovely. It was able too accommodate everyone 20 people's to be exact. It was spacious enough that the servers where able to move around and bring our family shared meals around. The meal was 7/10 enjoyed the different varieties of food you received with a prefixes menu. We were able to play our own music and just enjoy each other company's with no interruptions. We had a private room to ourselves. Thanks for the outstanding services. Prices for certain items where a bit pricey than expected.

This is my third time eating from Sei Less & I haven't been disappointed yet. Service was great, like most restaurants these days we had to wait until our full party was there, so we hung out at the bar and ordered a drink. I started with a spicy margarita & ended with a lychee margarita , I enjoyed both. Once seated, I'm pretty sure we ordered about 5 things on the starter menu. The ribs & scallion pancakes were the star of the show this night. The crab croquettes weren't bad either! I didn't try the other starters. For an entree I shared sweet & sour chicken with white rice and it was standard, nothing to write home about but good. It was a Tuesday night and it wasn't crowded, which I appreciated. Overall good experience with solid food in the city.
