I go there often with friends. Friendly staff. Wonderful food and wine selection. Great ambiance. Even the music is great to get you in the mood. One of my favorite spots for a night out when in the SCV.

Found this place on a whim. Stopped by at 5pm on a Saturday. Lee and his crew were great! The shrimp tacos were super tasty. It was nice to get a slice of lime and some radishes to add a bit of variety to the flavors. The Boom Boom Syrah wine was flavorful but not too strong. The cheesecake was fresh, tasty and flavorful. I will be coming back to this place if I am ever up this way again. Cute, classy intimate looking place which has indoor and outdoor seating. Quick service too. Highly recommend.

Anyone who lives in the SCV knows that every restaurant in town is packed with families and kids at the 6:00 dinner hour –except for Lee’s. Lee’s is one of the few places in town where adults can escape the kids running around, being loud and obnoxious. I have teenagers of my own so I know what it’s like to dine out as a family, but every now and then I’d like to dine in an adult only atmosphere. Thank goodness there’s Lee’s. Lee is a very gracious man. The atmosphere there is fun and the patrons usually friendly with another. The music is always lively and entertaining with favorites. You won’t find amazing or spectacular food, but still the food is tasty and satisfying with a nice selection. On Fridays and Saturdays the dinner menu is expanded to also include steak and larger dinner portions to include aide dishes. If you just go for the alcohol Lee’s has a nice selection from lower choice wines through mid-range. Wine lovers will definitely be able to find a few good brands to enjoy. Only caveat is that our meals were not seved at the same time. One person in our party had to wait a long time for his steak while the other ordered items arrived much earlier. There’s no need to do that. All plates should be served at the same time for everyone at the table. If not for that I would have given Lee’s five stars.

It is always a great time when we go to Lee’s Wine Bar! The excellent knowledge of wine by the entire staff, or the great food that is served! Especially on Fridays and Saturday nights! We’ve enjoyed ourselves every time we go, thank you Lee, and Jen… you both are Awesome!

I’m giving 2 stars because I didn’t even give them the chance to serve me. So they get one for the benefit of the doubt. When I walked up to the door the hostess was cleaning the window of one door, she looked at me and kept cleaning. I opened the other door myself. She didn’t greet me. I asked to use the restroom first. Had to ask where it was. Wasn’t flushed, tried to flush, broken. Came out told the owner(I’m assuming) who was chatting with the only table of people in the joint. He said, «yeah, I think it needs(insert toilet part here), it gets a lot of use, ya know.» he turned back and continued talking with the table. The hostess asked how many, still no greeting. I left.

Got right in on a Monday night. Sat at the bar. Super friendly place. Great conversations and awesome wine selection. Found a wine I liked and I asked what paired with it, the meatballs were recommended and were amazing. Everything is made from scratch. Do yourself a favor and go to this place. By far the best food I have had in Valencia with a restaurant owner who is passionate about his food and wine. Definately a diamond in the rough. If i could give it 6 stars I would.

To everyone staying at the Hyatt, I’m telling you leave the hotel, walk 100 ft and have the best quality wine and food in Valencia. I’m in the Hyatt often for work and this is absolutely my new go to. The Meatballs are out of this world, music on point and Lee himself is always there being an awesome host.

Lee’s wine bistro is a great cozy and friendly place with great food. Not fancy or generic like so many places. His tapas and appetizers are excellent and moderately priced. On Friday and Saturday evenings he has an expanded menu of grilled items: steaks, pork chops, Salmon, chicken breasts, and usually a shrimp dish and sometimes a grilled sausages dish. His grilled steaks are the best in the Santa Clarita Valley by far some of the best I’ve had in Los Angeles, no kidding especially for the price. I think Lee’s puts most if not all the other wine bars and Bistro’s to shame in the Santa Clarita Valley if not many parts of greater LA.

I really like the wine selection here. Also Lee’s does not mark up their wine as high as some of the other competitors in SCV. Overall good experience. I love sitting outside in their covered patio.

Great selection of wines at a very fair price point. This place hits the sweet spot in price, food quality, and ambiance. The owner is an excellent host at this little gem in the SVC.

Good wine selection, as a wine bar should have. The food left a lot to be desired. I ordered the pear and blue cheese starter. The pears were canned, and the blue cheese applied sparingly. My entrée was the penne with red pepper pesto and shrimp. The sauce had a cream base; it was not a pesto. The one server was a bit slow, as she was waiting on everyone. I wouldn’t return.

I love Lee’s Wine Bistro! This has been a «go-to» spot for as long as I can remember! Lee is such a great guy, very friendly, and hilarious. Jenn is such a gem; super nice, personable and very knowledgeable. Both Lee and Jenn will always point you in the right direction of which wine to select based off your mood/taste/preference. Every wine I have ordered, or had ordered for me here was GREAT! NOW, lets talk about Taco Tuesday… Korean Tacos with Lee’s spicy sauce… to die for! I cannot forget to mention Friday & Saturday nights when he serves the most delicious steaks! I LOVETHISPLACE

This place has a good ambiance and is cozy. Went here to celebrate close friend’s birthday. They are very attentive to our party. Have a good selection of wine. We went here on a not so busy season. Felt like we owned the place hehe. Owner was nice and played good variety of music. This place is a good stop for catching up with friends and enjoy trading stories over a bottle of wine. Parking is at the town center mall and no cover charge at this place. Haven’t tried their food yet. We went here after having a heavy dinner.

Shame on me, Unilocal,this review is long overdue, my bad Unilocalmigos, my bad. So, I’m beginning to think Lee’s is like my Cheers, almost. I haven’t frequented the joint enough to say everyone knows my name YET but Lee(the owner) and Jenn are friendly and make you feel right at home. It’s really service with a smile, folks. Every time I’ve gone, I can hear the majority of patrons call each other by name, a good sign and one of the reasons I’ve seemingly coined this place ‘my Cheers’. Anyway, the venue is nice, you’ll feel relaxed. Clean and plenty of seats inside, whether you choose to grab a table or sit at the bar, you can even sit outside in the lovely patio area. Most times, the place isn’t overly crowded and you should manage to find a seat easily. Lee has a record player and plenty of great albums that belts out oldies but goodies & feel-good kinda tunes. This coupled with a glass of wine(or beer) will definitely promote a sense of relaxation and good times, seriously, how could you not enjoy yourself? On top of that, their menu has a good variety. The prize here(and there’s tough competition) to me so far was the meatballs. YUM! HELLO! HI! These babies were delicious! Here’s the raw details: There are 3 good-sized meatballs that are served in a zesty, tasty marinara sauce alongside some sliced bread. But what you really have to know is the stars of the dish are the meatballs! Great texture, amazing flavor + it has a nice little kick of spice. Don’t worry dolls, it’s nothing that will have you crying but you’ll definitely detect the little bit of heat, subtle touch that I appreciate, truly. I still have to try their Fri + Sat specials(already on my agenda) but for now these meatballs are the apple of my eye. Of course, the wine is always something to buzz about, fairly priced and good selection for every pallet. You’ll be glossy-eyed before ya know it! So, come to Lee’s for all or one of the reasons I mentioned above. Or, if you’re a Dodgers baseball fan, you can usually catch ‘Steady Eddie’ Murray at the bar on the daily. I told you, it’s where everyone knows your name!
