Been to this location 3 times before, service is always amazing and atmosphere is beautiful!
My favourites are the Wagyu pide (like a flatbread/pizza), and hummus royale. The used to have a chocolate olive oil cake which is delicious, hopefully bring it back.
The winterlicious menu didn’t wow me and portions were on the smaller side. Your money is better spent on the regular menu. Beef tartar, branzino, and baklava - baklava was a pleasant surprise!

LUIS WAS AMAZING! Would come back ten times over just to be served by him. His wine knowledge was impeccable, but more noteworthy was his wholesome, energy he brought to our table where he was able to truly connect with us as guests, make great recommendations and improve our overall experience. He was extremely attentive and professional.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had!
The main dishes and starter were absolutely delicious, full of flavor and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Every bite was a treat.
The atmosphere had a really good vibe, cozy, inviting, and tastefully decorated, with great lighting that made the whole experience even better.
The service was excellent, the staff were friendly, attentive, and professional.
I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to others!

The food was good particularly the humus and the French fries. Service started off well but declined and was very slow. We had to ask for our table to be cleared. A couple of the staff who brought and cleared food were very nice particularly a woman.
I really liked the atmosphere with warm lighting and decor. Food was great! I loved the Halloumi. For our first time there, we ordered too much food. Our server did not warn us of the proportion sizes, but it was fine because we got to take it out. One main dish would be enough for two people. We didn't know the bottled water was $9!

Services and food were very good. The restaurant noise level was incredibly LOUD! I think the wall bench seating tables were a bit too close to each other. No privacy at all! The curtains could have been blocked the sunlight better. The sunshine was shining into our face for quite some time. It wasn't comfortable at all.
Except short rib kebab the rest of the food and appetizer/ deserts are all tasty! Highly recommend it

I started with the "Birds of Paradise" cocktail, which, while not bad, didn't stand out I wouldn't have guessed it had pineapple juice if I hadn't read the menu. My friend ordered the "Marrakesh Garden" and absolutely loved it, calling it one of the best cocktails she's had in a while. For the main course, I had the lamb shoulder. The waiter mentioned it was meant for two people, and that was accurate especially when paired with a side dish. The meat was tender, and the presentation was well done. My friend chose the short rib kebab, which unfortunately didn't meet expectations, the meat lacked flavor and seemed poorly marinated, though the dish's presentation was the highlight. We shared a side of fries, but they were extremely thin and dry. I did enjoy the bread, though it could have been more flavorful. Overall, the experience felt average, and considering the price point, there are definitely better options out there in terms of quality.
I came here for dinner and everything was delicious! Both the appetizers and mains were full of flavour — the lamb shoulder and short rib kebab were definite standouts. Our server, Matt, was fantastic — incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. He made the experience even better!

Let me start by saying that the food was impeccable at Byblos! Every single dish I tried was delicious and just a symphony of different flavours all paired well with one another.
I went to Byblos with my friends and we got a bunch of different plates including the hummus royale, burrata, the middle eastern fried chicken, the short rib kebab and the harissa roasted half chicken. All the dishes containing meat were cooked very well with the meat being savoury, comforting and tender. I especially loved the fried chicken!
We also got the saffron baba and rose tres leches for dessert and both dishes while subtle in flavour, were very good!
The service was exceptional with very kind and attentive servers ready to answer any questions we had. While the food did take a little bit longer, it was well worth the wait given the high quality dishes. I went on a Thursday evening and didn’t have to wait at all to get a table. The atmosphere was calm with the restaurant fairly packed.
I will definitely be coming back as I had such a wonderful experience!

The food is normally great, but they changed their desert menu, which is a real disappointment!
We celebrated my mother‘s 90th birthday here and we couldn’t be more pleased. Wes and Ainsley were so attentive and had great attitudes adding to our joyous occasion. They were attentive to details gave us a very nice space, service was excellent the timing of food perfect and of course, the food was delicious as always. Wes was great with the children in our party and had lots of patience in serving 18 of us. I would highly recommend this place for any special event.
