Lei – Italian
Lei offers a sophisticated journey through refined Chinese flavors, where the crisp snap of chilled celtuce and vibrant pickles meets the delicate artistry of Montauk scallop crudo. Warm sesame shao bing arrives alongside savory Lady Edison Jin Hua ham and smoky Berkshire black sausage, creating a rich tapestry of textures that culminates in the soothing, aromatic depths of wintermelon and Manila clam broth. This elegant space balances tradition and innovation, inviting diners to linger over plates that celebrate both the humble earthiness of five-spice bean curd and the luxurious complexity of artisanal cured meats.
