Lees Den

Have been twice now and love the space/decor, food, drinks and service - consistently great! Fun spot for happy hour. Staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Crudo has been a favorite - changes with the menu, first time was Asian flavored tuna and this time was Italian inspired poke tuna with smoked aioli, olives, basil, tomato vinaigrette (different and couldn't stop eating). Creme fraiche brown butter with bread service was delicious, as well as the marinated feta - seasoned perfectly (not too salty), light and fluffy. Always look forward to trying their new, tasty creations! Will be back for sure!

Love Lee's! Service is always attentive and on point. I adore the champagne cocktails with the ginger and the cute cozy environment. A great spot for GNO or a date. Fun environment that's a little loud but not so much that you can't hear.I think their fries are some of the best and enjoy the tofu dish a lot. The big veggie garden is impressive looking but wouldn't order it again. Not enough flavor or sauce. I need to try the happy hour since it looks like a great value.

came for saturday night drinks, great ambience. cool music on the speakers with low lights but not too loud so still able to converse. giant wine list, it was like a textbook with 40 pages. had some desert, the toffee one was fantastic. service was attentive. great experience.

I love this place! It's great for girls' night out or a romantic date. Super cute design! Service is very good.It's hard to find the entrance, though, so I attached what the door looks like. Once you enter, head upstairs on your right and follow the hallway. Their menu changes occasionally. We had lions mane karaage, smoked brisket katsu sando, fries, bread with tomato butter. YUM. I highly recommend the katsu sando and the bread with tomato butter. The food was very good and this was enough to make the two of us very full. Had negroni sbagliato (nice complex flavor, sweeter side) and zero proof (refreshing and nicely complemented salt and grease of the food well)- both very good. The only complaint I have is that it's pricey. That being said, it still made it my favorite list and will be coming back.

The only redeeming qualities about this place were the cute decor and the staff. The food was atrocious. Crudo was insanely salty. Fried mushrooms weren't salty enough and really lacked flavor. But the STEAK was just literally the worst steak I've ever had and that includes the steaks I tried to make myself in college. It was $41 for super low quality meat. It was tough and chewy lol just bad bad bad. The passion fruit sprit was fine but also tasted like it was super watered down? Just not good. I was overall shocked cause the place has good reviews but this experience was just bad. Disappointing because it's def on the pricier side so kinda feels like i wasted my money.

Super cute spot to grab a nice cocktail or glass of wine with light bites or a full dinner. We explored the happy hour menu and was not disappointed. Cocktails were nicely made, food was good and all for a reasonable price. Look forward to exploring more of the regular menu in the future.Parking is not bad at all. They have their own parking lot. Also street parking and paid garages in the area. Can also walk to other shops and restaurants in rice village. Should make a reservation. Not a huge space but definitely cute. Patio 100%. It's covered with fans so as long as it's decent outside you should be good.

June 28, 2023Came for HH and had to walk into local foods (which was the old bank draft bar) and go upstairs to get to Lee's Den. Lee's is the old Benjy's without the inside bar it used to have. So this entire bldg is connected to all 3 restaurants by a door We had the shrimp lettuce wrap and inhouse Japanese butter bread with smoked trout roe (caviar)---both deliciousWe both tried 2 different spritz's, mine was the caparletti and my friend had the champagne spritz--neither of us would order them againLots of wonderful wine selection from all over there USA

Very very good! This is my second time coming here! This visit was even better! As was my experience on the 1st visit. They provided excellent service and the food and beverages were excellent! We were there for happy hour. Everything was season to perfection especially those fries! We ordered 2 rounds. Also all the drinks have a wine base, and are all very refreshing! My favorite was the blood orange spritz. I highly recommend this place! Also aesthically it is decorated so cute! Definitely a vibe! I'll be back!

Every time I come here I realize why this is my favorite bar in Houston. The whole team is super friendly. The setting is both intimate but lively - believe it is describe as a wine speakeasy. It is a great spot for a date night or a small birthday party with friends (we did this last night). They have an awesome wine selection for almost every price point. Their are wines that are a little more atypical which I really like. If in doubt, ask the team - they have never steered me wrong.The menu evolves. I got bummed when the meatball left the menu but was replaced with several other great dishes.Reservations always helpful but can be a must during busy times. 21+ only - no children.I will say the A/C may be a little under-powered for a Houston summer.

This place is so pretty! The inside is beautiful, but the outside seating is just gorgeous, teeming with plants. It feels like you're in a forest oasis...sigh. I've been here twice now and both times my experience was great. Service is amazing as well. The second time our server gave us fries on the house because they were a popular choice, and they were delish!Great place for drinks with friends or a date. They have a pretty good happy hour. I wouldn't come here very hungry though. This is more of a light bites type of place.French fries, shrimp egg rolls, and whipped goat cheese are all tasty snacks. They had a special salmon sando when I was there as well which was mouth watering. The mac & cheese and yaki mushrooms were a no for me.
