At SET L.E.S. we bring "hip" and "flavor" together in our energetic restaurant/bar located in the heart of Lower East Side, New York City. Nearing almost a decade, the restaurant has grown into a neighborhood gem, most known for, the Asian-inspired menu and palatable crafted cocktails. While the restaurant is popular for it's lunch and dinner, weekend brunch has become the most quintessential experience. With customer-favorite's like the "Chicken and buttermilk waffles" and the "Steak and eggs skillet" cooked to perfection. The ambiance also makes for a great place to celebrate your birthday, with a special complimentary item with parties over 6.

    Staff were friendly and accommodating. Music was a bit loud but staff turned it down no problem. Shrimp tacos were tasty and crunch . There were six of us and we all enjoyed the food

    I recently visited your establishment and was disappointed to find that the servers were not familiar with the current menu deals. Specifically, I had seen promotions for Taco Tuesday until 10pm on OpenTable, which included a free margarita with the purchase of tacos. However, when I inquired about this deal, the server was unaware of it, and the manager informed me that it was only valid until 8pm. Please update the correct information on OpenTable. I hope this feedback is helpful in ensuring that your staff is knowledgeable about your promotions and deals.

    Always a great time here. The new menu items are 10/10. The drinks are always great. Portions are great as well. Will be going back soon.

    We had so much fun at the New York location and we absolutely loved the food. So much that we are going to go to the Philly location and try that place out as well.

    I loved it. Food was great, drinks even better but the only thing i wish would have been different was the server. They all seemed off and not that friendly which I personally do not like and right away feel my experience will not be as great as i expected it to be.
