Loved the drinks and the food there and the service was amazing as well. Just wish hummus was a bit more flavorful, it was bland.
We arrived at 5pm ish. Our server specifically asked us if we had plans for after dinner and we said we had concert tix and needed to be out at 7pm. We ordered soon after that. Appetizers came in good time but then we waited at least 40 minutes for entrees. No apology; he clearly forgot to put our entree orders in. Ate entrees quickly to avoid being late for concert. Too bad because this has been our fave spot for before symphony concerts.
It was my twins 30th Birthday. We had a fabulous night. Food was spectacular and service was excellent
Food was amazing - everything we ordered was delicious - especially the lamb chop appetizer, branzino and the jewelled rice!! YUM
Always enjoy, was my 4th or 5th time going and will likely come back again. Food and service are always fantastic.
We shared 4 appetizers between 2 people and they were all delicious! Our favourite was the tomato cucumber whipped feta salad! We had Labneh, Octopus and Tuna ceviche. Everything was delicious and the service was wonderful. We will definitely return!
Have dined here 3 years ago and found that the food quality has deteriorated a little. Regardless, it still tastes wonderful and I would highly recommend the food. However, the hostess was the rudest person I have ever been greeted by at a restaurant. We requested a seat upstairs since I was coming back to the restaurant and liked the upstairs better(came with my friends first and decided to bring my husband for dinner again), this apparently was an issue and we were asked to wait. We got upstairs and it was pretty much empty - Note we were dining at 8:30 pm which is late. we were seated in front of the door on a booth where the seat was very damaged despite there being multiple other options. Later we came to realize as other couples started being seated that no one even asked to take our coats to the coat room and there was one because we were seated in front of it. I will never return here again and feel responsible that I chose to bring my husband here for a special dinner, ordered 200+ dollars worth of food to be treated like this. Bear in mind that the hostess is the first impression you have even if it's only for a few minutes.
Miami's location was excellent, had tasting menu options. Toronto was okay. Not sure if I would go back there again. Service - only 2 staff on the 2nd floor, it was busy a night. But I must say the waiter was kind and helpful but I felt like it was too much to handle for the 2 people to give the best experience for everyone. Drinks were fantastic!
Fantastic experience from beginning to end. Warm, knowledgeable service, lovely, relaxing ambiance and stellar food. We loved it.
The service was amazing but the food was not as good as I had hoped. Overall, it was very expensive, and I would not go back.

We came on New Year's Eve and were greeted by the hostess, who were noticeably rude and staring us down for no clear reason. Once seated, our server explained the New Year's Eve menu, but the explanation of the first course was confusing. The dishes were brought out on two plates with items separated very oddly, so we were unsure whether we were meant to share or if each person was supposed to receive everything. It felt like a miscommunication that could have been avoided. Our appetizer was good, but both of us ordered the steak with truffle rice for our main and it arrived extremely cold. Throughout the night, anytime we asked our server for something simple like a spoon or an extra fork, it felt like a huge inconvenience. She seemed visibly annoyed every time we asked for assistance. Dessert was just okay. Overall, I would not return. I did not enjoy the experience and it was absolutely not worth $130 per person plus tax and tip.
Our group of 6 had a lovely time at Byblos. Food was fabulous and service was suburb. We look forward to returning.
We (6 of us) loved it. Our server was incredibly helpful in helping us decide what & how much to order. Everything we had, appetizers, Pide, mains were amazing. Can't wait to go back.
Amazing food, atmosphere and nice level that allows easy conversation. Can't be beat for business discussions!
Delicious well spiced dishes. Special favourites were the dumplings and the brussel sprouts.
