The things 2 order at Lei..
After reading the previous reviews, I thought you might need a little help w/the menu. After eating there more than a fair share, we came to the conclusion of:

Kobe Beef Sliders: The spicy in house catsup is delicious. Have a side of sweet potato fries with powdered sugar & carmel sauce! What a finish!

If you want a nice fish place: the Mahi Mahi (with out the balsmic vinigar) The coconut rice is a sweet secret that if you are not paying attention, it will be gone!

The pom martini's are fresh & they will make it with your Vodka of choice if your a Vodka snob.

Enjoy!

Great Place for a Private Party
This is a small oasis on Park Blvd. The food is great if a bit pricey, but the atmosphere and wait staff are top notch. The drinks are not skimped on, my favorite so far is the White Chocolate Mochatini. For a small group, try to get a spot at one of their outdoor fire pits!

Smokers ruined the charm
I read many reviews of Lei Lounge before choosing it for an anniversary dinner. After we arrived, were seated on the patio, and put in our orders, I smelled cigarette smoke, to which I am highly sensitive. I thought it must be coming from somewhere outside the patio walls. I was shocked to then see a waiter carry an ashtray to another table. We asked, and smoking is indeed permitted on the patio, even though it's enclosed on four sides by walls! I have never been to a similar restaurant that permitted smoking in such an area.

We moved into the bar (if we hadn't already placed our orders, I would just have left) , which is totally open to the patio but doesn't allow smoking. However, we lost the ambiance and comfort of the patio, and I still left that evening with itchy eyes and a cough.

No reviews I read mentioned the smoking, nor did the restaurant's webpage. If you don't want your respiratory system assaulted while you eat, beware!

Great Ambience
Good food, great atmosphere. Definitely a place to head out with friends or a date to relax after the work week.
Get there early to get a cabana, they're a great lounging place and good for people watching.

Good for drink, BAD for FOOD
I went there just because the cocktail list and the good happy hour promotion. I admit that they have many exotic drinks and they look delicious I tried Geisha, Chinese Iced tea and many other drinks some are good and some are not. One good thing though, they are all heavy on alcohol LOL, and most of us love about that fact!!!

Bad Food, I have to tell you, spring rolls were oliy and soaky eeeewww chicken skewers are dry and tasteless. The food is nothing but pricy and bad execution. I would suggest the restaurant hires a better chef or stop serving food.

Decoration is amazing of how you can do with the limited piece of land; Cabana brings lots of attention and people who love the lime light. LOL $200 minimum spending to sit on a cheap peice of furniture.

There are so many servers but they rather chit chat between themselves than giving a memorable experience to customers; which is too bad.

A little pricey but...
definitely worth it. Best to get there early as tables fill up quickly. Great ambience and atmosphere for the romantics out there. Prices are a little high but the dining experience more than justifies the costs.

Great place to take a date
This place has a real romantic feel to it. The tables all have curtains that you can pull to give you and the special someone a little more privacy. fireplace for added charm. Nice. The food is good too.

Over The Top
The atmosphere and decor is way over the top here, and the drinks are very "tropical" Good people watching and great happy hour crowd. I have yet to experience the full food menu ans we stop in for drinks but I can say, from what I see, it looks to be well worth sampling their fare, if nothing else but for the superb atmosphere here.

Chi-Chi
Tres chi-chi,,,,,ambiance up the wazoo.
If you like your ambiance in high gear, this is the place for you.
Food is very creative, so eat with a open pallette; leave your picky eater friends at home, this may not be the best choice for experimentation.
