    This place is phenomenal. I came here for just drinks once and all of the food looked insane so I had to come back. This place has a lot more affordable prices than Milton's, especially with happy hour. However, the food is just as amazing !!! First of all, the ambience is so cool. The caesar salad is to die for. I really love their espresso martini's. The pizza di gallo was also probably top 5 best pizzas I've ever had. Duck fat fries also soooo good. Really loved the mozzarella sticks as well. Finished off with the pistachio gelato and it was perfect. I don't feel gross and so full to where I'm sick after leaving here. I've been here 3 times in the last month if that tells you anything. I LOVE MILTON'S & LEE'S

    Holy s***!!!!!!!!! I was completely ASTOUNDED by this establishment. Our server was great and she gave us free birthday shots!!! Which was an added bonus. Everything we tried was AMAZINGGGGGG. I had the oysters, raviolis, duck fat fries, and pepperoni pizza and OMFFFFGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are NO WORDS to describe this food. I was ASTOUNDED. The cocktails are spectacular too. This is a place I would come for a night out with the girls, a chill first date, a birthday, a pregame, pretty much ANY OCCASION. I absolutely love this place and cannot wait to be back again! Thank you so much for having us!

    Lee's feels like the kind of place you're happy to have in your rotation when you want good cocktails and an easy night catching up with friends. Stopped in on a Wednesday with a buddy and spent a few hours talking over drinks and snacks. The $1 oysters are an absolute deal and were the highlight of the food for me. We also shared an order of mozzarella sticks that hit the spot. Wednesday also features pasta specials, which looked like another great value. For drinks, I had a mezcal spritz that was excellent and another signature cocktail that I unfortunately can't remember the name of, but I do remember enjoying it. The cocktail program seems well thought out without being pretentious. The atmosphere is what really stands out. Walking in gives off great speakeasy vibes. The entrance has a slightly divey, hidden-gem feel, and once inside the space is stylish, intimate, and comfortable. The music was at just the right volume. Present enough to create energy but not so loud that you can't have a conversation. This is a great spot for one-on-one catchups, date nights, or grabbing drinks with a small group of friends. Between the cocktails, oysters, and laid-back atmosphere, I'll definitely be back. Wednesday nights in particular are hard to beat for the value.

    After having dinner and drinks at Milton's, zaddy and i decided at that moment, we were ready for a Gen X/millenial style turn up, so we headed to Milton's little brother, Lee. Or is it the big brother? Anywho, this review is for a cocktail only experience. Didn't have to scan the menu long, I saw the Negroni and went for it. Very small, I struggled getting to my seat--not big back approved but it's a cozy spot--intimate enough for a date night. Bartender was friendly, super cool looking fella! No complaints. Not blown away by anything but I'd most certainly go back! Turn up ACTIVATED!

    Returned and ordered the amazing duck fries paired with a cocktail, perfect combination. All drinks are perfectly curated. Service is great and the dark lit intimate classy vibe is always a good way to end the night.

    Ok, so this restaurant is located in a building with several other restaurants. Parking on a Friday/Saturday night is slim. I'd advise you to take a car service, get there early, or drop your party off and circle the lot like a buzzard, waiting for someone to leave. So you have to go upstairs to access this place and it is really dark inside. Drinks took a while but food came out in waves, allowing enough time for us to enjoy what was on the table. We had half of the appetizers listed and for a table of four, it was more than enough. I really liked the duck fat fries, which are as large as potato logs. Was not a big fan of the sauce and would have rather had ketchup.

    I had been wanting to checkout this spot for quite awhile and finally had a chance for happy hour. Parking and Vibe - 4* There is a parking lot surrounding Lee's and their other venues, but it was absolutely jam packed due to what looked like a business Christmas party. The most annoying part is there were three or four awkwardly parked cars that prevented others from parking in the spaces immediately adjacent to them. A few spaces definitely do not look standard size and are more compact only though not marked as such. There is "complimentary" valet, which if anyone knows me, I find absurdly stupid when a lot is attached to the restaurant. Let me give you a tip for parking my car fiftrn feet a way from where I could have done it myself. At least the valet doesn't seem to try to block off parking spots which is becoming more common to force you to "pay" them. Here's a novel concept, park the car further away like New York and earn it? /rant Now for those who are not aware, this venue is upstairs and you get there through a service entry type backdoor that leads to some stairs. It feels like this spot could definitely be a bit prohibition speakeasy, if desired. The vibe on the interior is really cool, though, the music was louder than one would expect. This was particularly the case when being sat in a corner where the speaker is located. Personally, I think it kind of takes away from the ambiance of the venue, which is otherwise amazing. Maybe expand the speakers and lower the volume so it isn't as obnoxious for certain areas? Food & Drink - 3.5* There are some great options on the regular and happy hour menu. We ordered a couple of drinks and food from each over our time there, all great. The wings, the baked oysters, and the Duck Fat Fries were all solid. The hamachi crudo went down before a pic could be snapped. We would have ordered a pizza but we were too full! The Garibaldi was probably the highlight from the HH menu. The Cynar Mojito was good and I found the Campari Seltz very underwhelming. Overall the cocktail menu is not overly impressive, but I think I subjectively carry a higher bar on craft cocktails having been a bartender. Nothing here stands out to me in a crowd of other places trying to vie for your dollar. Service - 5* They are a team here with everyone from the waitress, to the runners, to the hostess all helping out. It results in largely never needing anything and being checked in onultiple times. Absolutely on point being able to enjoy the vibe without being in need of anything. Pricing - 4* As I say in most reviews, it's subjective. It's becoming harder to run a restaurant and bar these days with margins just becoming thinner. Food is reasonable, maybe a hair over but the vibe of this joint makes it a bit more experiential. Now, I think some of the drinks are overpriced for what they are. $16 is the "standard" in today's 2025 market but that's for what I'd consider to be a drink involving a bit more curation in house made syrups, bitters, tinctures, etc. Or prep and presentation. I've been to several establishments with more evelated cocktails for the same price. It feels like so many spots just price them self to the market not to the actual elevation of the drink itself. Overall - 4* Lee's is a spot I'd revisit with some friends if they're seeking an interesting vibe though I'd probably key in on only a few select drinks. If a more elevated craft cocktail experience is your goal, you may be a bit disappointed here.

    Service: Excellent Ambiance: Speakeasy adjacent Drinks: Blood Orange Margarita 8/10 Spritz: 6/10 Food: Roasted oysters : 5/10 Ravioli: 5/10

    Jared E.

    This is place is great for a date night. Low light, music in the background and chill vibes. The service was good as well. They were attentive and checked on our table consistently. Drinks were good but food wise, it was just ok. I say, come here for drinks and go somewhere else for food. Fried Ravioli 4/10: Perfectly fried and that's pretty much it. The marinara sauce was ok. It did what it needed to do. Spicy blood orange margarita : perfectly balanced and perfectly spicy. This had some kick to it.

    Rhea T.

    The ambiance of this place was absolutely amazing. I loved the dim lighting, I loved the music they played while I ate, and the customer service was so kind. I ordered a prosecco-infused pizza the one time I went and it was delicious. I'm so glad my waiter recommended that I try it with their homemade ranch! It was also cute that they had a photobooth & a notepad for people to write notes and leave there as a memory. I'll definitely be going back.

    Oysters
    Haley M.

    My friend and I came here for dinner/drinks and it was such a great experience. The entrance is on the side of the building (follow the neon light). Lee's is a trendy speakeasy bar that feels casual but intentional. There was plenty of seating but we did make reservations to ensure there'd be no issues. Our waiter was super cool and very attentive. It seemed like there was a happy hour crew and several dates, which definitely fits the vibe. They also partake in the Thursday steak nights, and I do plan to return for that. The drinks were good and I ordered half a dozen oysters which were also good. Highly recommend for drinks with friends, date night or pregaming before going out.

    Duck fat fries
    Ayesha W.

    Came on a Friday evening with no reservation, waited about 20 minutes and was able to get a bar seat. The bartenders are great and the restaurant vibe is perfect for date night. I ordered the blood orange margarita which was very good. To eat we got the fried calamari, fried ravioli, duck fat fries, and pepperoni pizza. The food was very fresh and flavorful, however everything was overly salty and I love salt. I will definitely be back to try additional menu items.

    Pizza
    Cayli P.

    Such a cute spot for girls' night! Who doesn't love a photobooth? The food was great, just a tad salty. The beef tartare and calamari were our favorite picks. The cocktails were simple, but the special shots weren't my favorite.

Our server, Camille, took our order and then would disappear for 30+ minutes at a time. At one point, when we asked where she had been, she simply said she was "walking around." Her overall approach to serving us felt extremely nonchalant and inattentive. The atmosphere also made us feel as though the level of attention you receive depends on how much you're spending--particularly whether you're purchasing bottles. The servers seemed more focused on creating a bottle-service experience than providing attentive restaurant service. It gave the evening a very transactional, "pay for attention" feeling rather than genuine hospitality. What really sealed the experience for us happened after we had already paid our bill. A host approached our table and essentially said, "Can you leave now? We need to seat someone right now." There was no gracious transition, no "thank you for dining with us," and no polite explanation--just an abrupt request to leave. For a restaurant with such a beautiful ambiance and good food, the service and hospitality were incredibly disappointing. Guests should feel welcomed and valued from the moment they sit down until the moment they leave, regardless of whether they're ordering bottles.

We Ubered over, so I didn't pay attention to the parking situation. Ambiance (3.5/5): Five Central is big! There's a big restaurant, a cigar lounge, a huge patio, and more. While we dined at the restaurant, it seems like there's a ton to check out here. They often will host live music too as I saw some ads about it while I was in the restroom. Service (4.5/5): Our waitress was great. She was friendly, attentive, and she went above and beyond. They brought me the wrong side, and I told her it was okay, but she ended up bringing me the right side a few minutes later. Which meant my meal had three sides instead of the two it came with. I really appreciated that! Drinks (4/5): Five Central has a good list of cocktails and more, but I wasn't in the mood for alcohol, so I went with a Shirley Temple lol. That brought me back. One of my favorite beverages as a kid. They were out of maraschino cherries, but we made it work. Food (4/5): We started off by splitting the coconut curry wings and the parmesan chicken bites. Out of the two appetizers, the chicken bites were my favorite. They were fried just right, crispy, while still tender inside. The sauce smothered on top made the dish. The wings, on the other hand, while flavorful, were a bit small. Still good though. With that being said, the star of the evening was my entree: the fried chicken. Fried chicken is either going to be a hit or a miss... here, it's definitely a hit. Crispy and well-seasoned on the outside, juicy and tender inside. Served with a sweet hot sauce, Texas toast, and your choice of two sides. I went with fries and mashed potatoes. The sides were just as good. The mashed potatoes were a buttery heaven and the fries were crisp and you could tell they weren't frozen. It's a generous portion size, too! I ate half and took the rest to-go. If you're looking for some Southern cooking, with love, Five Central is an awesome spot.
