This place is so good! The food is really fresh, friendly staff, and I like the atmosphere!

Service was bad and the staff was very rude. We had leave it was so bad and went to the Turkish restaurant next door. The food, service, and people were amazing. Avoid this place at all costs. No wonder the parking lot was empty.

Had dinner here with a friend on 9/2/25 and was really impressed! The space is beautiful, the staff is super friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend for a date night, business meeting, etc. They also have a larger table in one of the dining areas that's perfect for a small group gathering. Will definitely be back!

My family heard great things about this restaurant from a person who is a good friend of the owner, so we decided to give it a try. We are well versed in Lebanese and all types of Mediterranean food as we have traveled the world, so we know what true Mediterranean food tastes like, and we do know the differences between Lebanese/Turkish/Greek, etc.
We arrived about 6pm (they close at 8) and were greeted promptly and sat at a nearby table, and were given a carafe of water. We finally all decided on what we wanted and placed our order. This is where things go down hill a bit. We had a pretty long weight for our food, and while we realize things are made fresh, it was still a fairly long wait considering the restaurant wasn’t too busy. Once we placed our order, we didn’t see the server again until our food arrived. I will say, the cost for their platters (not sandwiches) are pretty pricey for the amount of food. We were recently in a far more costly city and prices were similar, but with far more food. The sides that were listed as a choice is only a choice for some platters though it says all platters get sides. If you get a sampler platter (listed under “platter”) you get no sides, because the side options are on the sampler already. However, it listed that we got a side option with the platter we ordered, and honestly, I could have used a few extra sides because the amount of food was not a ton. I also had gastric bypass and was able to eat my entire meal, which is very unusual for me. The bread/“pita” that we were served with our meal was sad. I would’t call it pita, as it was more like a flour tortilla, and not even warm. Like I said, Ive eaten all over the world and this was by far the worst “bread”.
Now, the rest of food tasted really good, and we greatly enjoyed our meals.
While we were eating, however, we had to get up 3x to hunt down the server for more drinks, desserts, the check, etc. The server never came on her own to check on us, in fact she stayed on the other side of the restaurant where we couldn’t even flag her down without getting up and walking to the other side. When we got up the first time for more water, a woman who was not our server very RUDELY asked, “do you need more water?”, as if we were bothering her. She very rudely brought a bottle over, and she was not happy that we asked for more of the other drinks that were not water. She just walked away. Eventually the original server came to get our other drinks. When it came time to pay, we also wanted to see a dessert menu, there isn’t one, but she told us what we could choose from. It would be much better to have it written down for guests to read and choose. The baklava was good, but the tiramisu was still very frozen, even after a drive home (we took our desserts to go). Our total was close to $200 and no one took left overs home.
We were pretty taken aback by the rude lady and poor service, so went to read reviews when we got home and the response from the business is just appalling. The business cannot take constructive criticism well and lash out at any and all negative reviews. They seem to have a personal issue with the Turkish restaurant next door and therefore accuse everyone of “hating” them, and saying most bad reviews are some secret sabotage by their nearby competitor.
Let me say, I have never eaten at the Turkish restaurant, nor am I out to “hate” on anyone.
The negative reviews all have common issues; the biggest two being the rudeness/poor service and cost of food for the quantity. When multiple guests have the same issues, the restaurant needs to take a hard look at the issues instead of telling the customer that we are all wrong or accusing customers of lying.
Along with our experience and the owner’s anger in any critique online, we will not be returning.
I will edit this if/when the owners reply, because Im sure this review will not be well received.
