Overall: While this restaurant serves outstanding Lebanese cuisine, it does so with serious attitude. Also, note that the prices listed above ($16.95 - 19.95) are NOT accurate. All entrees are $20+ and appetizers are $7-9. Plan on spending about $45 per person for dinner. Pros: Excellent, authentic food. All dishes are made in-house with super fresh ingredients. Outstanding appetizer selection. Cons: The waiter we had ruined our experience. The waiter expected us to order at least one hot appetizer, one cold appetizer, one entree and one dessert EACH. He was extremely upset when we ordered two appetizers to share between two people, claiming that the appetizers were too small. In addition, the waiter did not like that we only ordered bottled Evian water to drink - he kept trying to take drink orders at every possible opportunity. Basically, he reminded us of a terrible salesman at a department store. The waiter is the only reason we will not be returning - yes, he made us that uncomfortable.

Pros: Excellent, authentic, fresh food

Cons: Snotty, rude service

Small restaurant, not very romantic but a great place to share typical Lebanese Mezes when with a company. They are not very cheap but the portions are OK. We tried the delivery and the same quality is served.
