Love Terroni. Always consistently tasty food. Love the atmosphere too. Noise level was a little higher than I would have liked, but it was okay. Very lively.

Have wanted to try this restaurant for a long time. Each dish was beautifully presented, showcasing a variety of flavors, colors, and textures. Surprisingly, the dishes incorporated a lot of Asian flavors paired with French techniques. Most of the dishes were excellent and unique, though there were a couple of misses. The service was good, with attentive staff. The ambiance was decent and comfortable, not suffocating or uncomfortable at all. Overall, I enjoyed my time and dinner here.

My third dinner at a Chef Lee restaurant. The Slaw continues to be sublime. Wasn't so enamoured with the Spring Rolls or Chicken curry... but Asian Beef rescued the meal. Best in a group of 4-6 so you can taste more dishes.
