    The vibe we’re 10/10 nice place for drinks. Food was okay but i got charged for a drink with tequila after i ordered it w no alcohol so i don’t understand the reasoning.

    Lee's strikes a great balance between being a cocktail bar and a restaurant. There's plenty of 2 tops, larger tables, and space at the bar without feeling too large or too crammed. The service from Chad and Dennis was particularly great and the food and drinks were amazing. The focus is Italian/American with fun riffs and an ample backbar for anything else that you may want. The vibe is "energetic" and steered by a great playlist and I felt completely relaxed the whole time as a solo diner seated at the bar.
