Think sexy, chic, Manhattan-bistro-meets-'Hawaii Five-0,' where island fever is more a social style than a syndrome. Surrounded by a myriad of antique dealers, bookstores, coffee shops and gay bars, this culinary hot spot puts some panache on Park Boulevard. The Weiss brothers, owners of popular Bourbon Street Bar, and partner Michael Mack have transformed its long-vacant neighboring storefront into a sensory-pleasing, sleek and sophisticated open-air restaurant where trendy style-philes sip cocktails and socialize around luau-esque fire pits while nibbling on pan-Asian, Caribbean and tropical-inspired delights. Billowy white drapes surround private cabanas outfitted with flat-panel monitors and LED mood lighting where VIPs look out to a runway of linen-clad table tops and a cushy 30-foot wall bench enveloped in exotic botanicals and colorful high-tech video projections.

Global tapas designed for pairing and sharing cap the Lei experience, with house specialty selections like the pistachio-crusted calamari salad in miso dressing, shrimp mango rolls with hot and sour mustard dip, mini Kobe beef burgers with Dijon dipping sauce and the succulent jumbo lump crab mashed potatoes with roasted garlic butter. Inside, Lei's attractive bar staff serves bevies of eye-candy, such signature concoctions as greentinis, vanilla berry mojitos and Gorgeous Geishas.

    Atmosphere, Food, Drinks, Style. A great place to meet someone, or have a special dinner. Definitely the BEST in SanDiego.

    The chairs were weird, made it easy to fall over. The fire in the middle of the table was so hot it felt like my face was burning off. There wasn't enough room to put our food, and as a result many of us knocked our silverware off. The fire was so hot we couldn't even lean towards our plates to eat. Their attempt at a cool new kind of atmosphere just makes it uncomforatable in the long run, and the food was hardly worth braving the fire.

  • LOVE IT!

    The atmosphere was ok. The open air seating and dining was unfortunate. Tables that were too low and stools that were higher than the tables. Flys were abundant and the citronella candles would have been good for mosquitos but they didn't phase the flys. The piped in music was boring 80's stuff. (I think). The fare was very good however. A crab stuffed avocado was on my plate and to die for. The drinks were cool too and the prices for the brunch on Sunday were admirable. Would I go back.....not yet. Maybe a rerun is in order. The staff was very good I might add.
