It was a Sunday lunch. We were a group of 18 person. The guy who made the reservation agreed with the restaurant to charge 60$ per person for the mezzé ( hot and cold) and the entré ( bbq chicken, meet and kafta).
the food was below average except the fattoush, hummus, falafel and cheese rolls. The kafta was over cooked and dry, fillet mignon is not really filet mignon and very dry, also the garlic cream was very garlicky and not smooth.
However when I went to pay my bill I found out that the server ( Abdallah) charged 95$ instead of 60$ plus tax. He also added the 18% tips that turn out to be much more than that. He was rude and loud arguing with me. Also argued with other guests about the small portions of the food.
I am really disappointed about this experience.
I hope the owners know what is going on in this beautiful restaurant.

Outstanding Lebanese encounter! Situated in the marché central, parking is a breeze 😉
The team transports you to Lebanon with their heartfelt welcome and superb hospitality. Impeccable service ensured we lacked nothing.
Culinary delight! Authentically traditional, bursting with genuine flavors. Freshness and undeniable quality shine through. My only suggestion is to showcase the mezza in their classic round bowls rather than one large divided plate.
The piping hot bread and delectable baba ghanouj are truly noteworthy.
A return visit is a must—wholeheartedly recommended!

The atmosphere is very modern and homely but it can get very noisy if there are parties going on especially when the music is loud.
I had the vegetarian tasting menu which comes with 6 mezzaz warm dishes and 6 cold mezzaz dishes. They accommodated my dairy intolerance.
Overall I liked the cold dishes (hummus, muhammara, fatouch, tabouleh and stuffed vine leaves); for the most part everything fresh, filling and wholesome. The stuffed vineleaves were underwhelming and weren't as flavorful.
The warm mezzaz were alright. We got sautéed cauliflower, vegé kebbeh, falafel, potatoes, and a spiced rice. The cauliflower was very flavorful and was the clear winner while the other items were okay. The spiced rice was not good. We ended of with baklava which was good, a little bit of extra syrup would have helped.
Overall my experience was decent. Some of the vegé dishes could use some help. On the hand, the service was great; I liked that there's always someone bringing by fresh pita or filling your water.

The perfect recipe for an excellent restaurant= good food and an amazing service! With a beautiful decor! ...The food was great, good portions, you must try the lentil cream, it was to die for! ...Crystel was awesome. She makes you feel like you are at home! Highly recommend. 😊
This place crosses out all of the things you want in a resto, good food, ambiance,and service! i organized a work dinner here so we had to get the group menu. it was perfect. we were able to taste different kinds of dishes. The fresh warm pita they served up with the first course was divine! We were so full by the end of dinner but we still had leftovers to take home. The grilled meats were very tasty. The kaftas maybe lacked a bit of salt for my taste but i dipped it in my zaatar dip and it was great. The decor was nice and instagrammable. Last but not least, the servers and waitresses were so nice and attentive and quick to act. Would definitely go back again!
We came here for a baptism so we had the entire restaurant to ourself.
I can say that the inside decor is very nice and modern
They have a nice bar area when you come in which I love.
They have an open kitchen
The mezzes were really good, the fattoush was one of the best I've had, but we were really disappointed my the meat, the chicken, the filet mignon it was really not good, it was dry and there wasn't any flavours to it, the garlic potatoes were also good.
If I would come back it would be for the mezzes only.
The portions are pretty big, we were already full with only the mezzes.

Customer beware.
Let's start by saying the food was delicious. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere warm and inviting.
But...be careful when you are introduced to the tasting menu. When we entered and looked at the menu, the waiter suggested the tasting menu. We looked at the price, $42 and $48, but there were multiple mini dishes. Sounded good. We looked at the choices and decided to give them a try. After all, $42 for 2 is not overly expensive.
The cold plate and the hot plates were both delicious and the portion size was plentiful. It was enough for 3 people.
It also included a small dessert.
However, here is where it went wrong. When we got the check, it wasn't $42 but $98, tax in. It was $42 per person. Unless, you have a magnifying glass and 20/20 vision, that little lightly colored pp cannot be seen. I was shocked and furious that the waiter never mentioned that it was per-person. We would have never ordered from the tasting menu for lunch.
If you are going for dinner, it's not that bad, but really, that nuts for lunch. A lunch tasting menu would be more affordable and recommended for all those working in the area. Maybe if they had that they would be busier.
