I live on the uppe west side so it was a bit of a trek for me to go to Klee but my friend insisted and she has exceptional taste. Klee was an excellent suprise and not like many restaurants. The design and architecture is truly beautiful with an Italian mosaic wall, warm eco-friendly reclaimed wood from Canadian maple trees, fun swivel chairs and lovely purple banquettes. The food is so pretty and well-conceived and yet delicious. There is nothing ego centric about Klee yet it has its own identity. I went on a Saturday night so it was packed (but I wanted to try the Wiener schnitzel). It was crisp, high quality and rich with flavor yet not over weaned or overly heavy. the egg in a hole salad to start was fantastic, creative and edlicious. Our server was sweet and smart and even funny. The staff seem to have a good time working together and this feeling is infectious. Klee is fun, unusual, smart all the way around and it has a great wine list. i think you have to understand food and design to get it. it's different so it's not for everyone -- for this I am thankful. Someone needs to bring back originality without the arrogance. Hats off to Klee!
Pros: Unique and creative menu and design, happy and smart staff
