This is an amazing little restaurant! I ate at Klee for the fist time a few weeks ago based on a tip from a friend and could not stop talking about it for days after the dinner, recommending it to anyone who was willing to listen. I couldn't wait to go back and broke the tradition of not going out on Valentine's Day to try Klee's special menu. It did not disappoint! Every dish I've had at Klee has been so incredibly thought-out in the way that the flavors worked together, it was perfection! What I especially love about Klee is that its food is much more interesting and creative than the usual brasserie fare, which can get boring (even if well-executed) after you've had it enough times. You can definitely taste the European influence, which made it a more exciting dining experience for me.\r
Klee's salads are amazing (and I don't even like salads!). Definitely try the char tartar appetizer. Divine! A swordfish entree is also a must. (The chef knows his way around fish and seafood like nobody's business.) And when you see the dessert menu, you will wish, as I did, that you had skipped the rest of the meal and ordered three courses of dessert. The bread pudding was excellent, as were the profiteroles. The sorbets had a slightly coarse texture reminiscent of granito and had incredible, confident, fresh, delicious flavors. And the opera cake was terrific.\r
The excellent food is complemented by warm, elegant decor, mellow, unobtrusive service, and a lovely hostess who goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that every one of her guests has a great time. I could kind of see what some of the other reviewers were saying about the service being a little on the slow side, but it didn't bother me in the least. Just gives you more time to hang out and enjoy the delicious food and the company of your friends. And if that keeps you away from Klee, you probably don't deserve it anyway?
Pros: Excellent food, great wine list, ambience
