In Short – An art-deco wonder sitting at the foot of Park Avenue, Lea feels far away from the bustle of nearby Grand Central Station. Tucked under the Helmsley Building, bordello-red walls and oil paintings add to the bar's secretive vibe. Folks wearing business-casual chat over pricey cocktails--whether for a romantic tryst or a chance to linger before the 6:05. A busy sushi chef at the corner of the bar turns out more than a dozen offerings.
Overrated - Good for drinks - skip dinner

based on the reviews posted here, I had high expectations for Lea - instead I was truly disappointed. I guess natash9257 doesn't get out often enough if she thinks Lea has the best sushi. I went on a Thursday night and the place was happening - good atmosphere - however that was spoiled by subpar service and mediocre food. there are too many other good places to waste your time on this one. lea is good for drinks but make your dinner destination somewhere else.
Holy %&#@! Had the best time in my life.

I went out on a date last week and my date introduced me to Lea, I don't know where the heck all of these negative reviews come from, maybe they were written by miserable, fat ,insecure women with no self esteem. Lea has the best sushi I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. The service provided by these elite looking women was spectacular, and I have never encountered such a seductive ambiance. The manager was super friendly and extremely tentative, she offered us a drink on the house and even gave us a free Tapas dish to try out. If you're looking to woo someone and offer them a good time, I would recommend Lea any day.
- Pros: Ambience, service, food,
- Cons: location
All New york - all fun

Lea is one of my favorite place to take guests. It is ALWAYS fun. The waitresses are always stunning and sweet. (Needless to say my guy friends love it here) The new manager, told us that they are going to start pluggin in the "Wii" Monday nights and WE WILL BE THERE!! It's hidden in the east walkway on park ave, and it is awesome! Dont forget the sushi!! Some people dont even know about it...but i tell my guests this : think of your favorite sushi place - and try Lea's - it WILL beat it, without a doubt in my mind. Ladies this is THE meet spot. Trust. ;)
- Pros: everything
- Cons: hard to find at first- call for help
