Zakia Modern Lebanese Restaurant

We came to the restaurant as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids) for an early dinner on a Friday night. The restaurant was pretty much empty at this time. Nevertheless we were seated at a “prime” spot right by the utility room with a constant people traffic behind our backs. I could enjoy the view of mops, baskets and other such like things every 5 seconds the curtain to the utility room would open. Not a very relaxing atmosphere I should say. Our waiter was very unfriendly. Kids were interested in the lamps on a table. As soon as the waiter came to our table he took the lamps out of kids’ hands. He was very rude while doing this. With a cold stone face. My son nearly started crying. He could have done this more politely if these lamps are such a treasure and can’t be touched. The waiter offered water. We agreed to complimentary tap water. Only three of us ended up with glasses of water. My daughter was left without a glass for God knows what reason. We were also left with just one wine glass. I don’t know how much more careless a waiter can be with his guests. Haven’t met such a rude, careless, unfriendly waiter in a very long time. We ended up leaving the place without making a food order. This place should make an effort and treat their guests with some respect. The only positive thing out of today’s visit that I can mention is that interior design was lovely. But don’t bother coming here for a nice family dinner.

We were seated upon opening at 5 PM. We were the only table there for over an hour. Yet they insisted on having on having all of the doors in our area open even though it was 90 degrees out. The manager was rude and stated they would stay that way.
