This charming restaurant blew us away with their exceptional staff and heartwarming food. Go for the specials - they know what they’re doing, and they’re doing it well.
From the host immediately using a wedge to balance the table before we even sat, to the timing, and easy conversation- we immediately knew we were in good hands.
The menu offered comforting dishes rich in cozy flavors and traditional favorites. The team here exemplifies true hospitality, making us feel at home in a town far from our own. We returned day after day trying new offerings aver time and we were never disappointed. Not to mention the dining room was gorgeous as well as their holiday decor.
Kate’s cocktails were wonderful, while Kevin, our patient server, brought humor and warmth to our dining experience. He and the kitchen also make excellent spinach pies that received a stamp of approval from our Lebanese matriarch. The host manager and every staff member we encountered were genuinely kind and engaging.
We are incredibly grateful for the bright spot you all provided during such a difficult month. Your talent and impeccable service will be remembered fondly by our family for years to come.

Overpriced and I’ve had better Lebanese. The portion on the mezze sampler (supposedly for two!) is a joke.

Super food and service. They might need to work more on the prices. I love their 2-person mix dish!

Amazing Lebanese restaurant. The food is very authentic and the quality is great. Today they had a Lebanese singer singing live, which was a nice addition

We were a group of 5, who loves Mediterranean food. We came for dinner. Unfortunately, the falafel was good, but that's about it.
Always delicious

service was ok, server friendly, but I repeatedly told the server “ we don't eat red meat”, she continued to recommend beef & lamb dishes , doesn't make sense. Many items on the menu were not actually Lebanese or even from that region. Also, the vegetarian stuffed grape leaves had zero flavor, they tasted like the ones I buy in a can at any supermarket...... this part was very disappointing, I grew up in a family where stuffed grape leaves are made “ fresh from scratch”, so I can taste the difference. Finally your reception/ bathroom area is not very nice, smells like strong chemicals which I could even smell further away from the table maybe it is time for some renovations and changing the menu a bit
From the second we walked in we were greeted with smiles. The sampler appetizer dish was abundant and plentiful for our table of 4 who love Middle Eastern food. The zatar pita chips elevated our appetizer experience. I had the rainbow trout which was embedded with lemon slices and seasonings that packed a flavorful punch with every bite. The pomegranate cocktail was the exclamation point on a perfect night out. Will be back.
Very pleasant meal and big thanks to keth she made very special

Was a Random Choice - So Impressed!! Food was amazing, the staff incredible. Wish I wasn't on a business trip as I'd be back here Weekly!
I usually don’t write reviews, but I felt like I had to share this experience. I went on a Sunday evening, and the place was completely empty which in hindsight, should’ve been a red flag. From the moment we walked in, the staff seemed disinterested and barely made an effort to seat us.
We ordered the mixed meat platter (around $74 before tax), and honestly, it was a letdown. The portion was small, the meat tasted stale, and it was half-cooked even after we asked for it to be well done. I ended up with a stomach ache and what I’m pretty sure was mild food poisoning.
All around, not worth the price or the experience. Sometimes when a place is empty, there’s a reason trust your gut, this one was a total miss.
