The resto feels grand & special. Classy but unpretentious. The staff helps each other which makes for a smooth evening. We had some allergy constraints which were met with " No problem, we'll swap some items & still give you great tasting menu". ( when is the last time a resto told you that on a Saturday night ! ) The suggested wine from Lebanon...Wow. We had 10 different dishes... most I can't spell; all were really, really good. Do not skip dessert. A fancy spin on traditional Lebanese components. Decadent & light. & they made specific version of the same dessert for those with allergies.
A superb experience & definitely on the "do again" list. A must try resto for those that haven't.

We had high expectations for this restaurant & Aya exceeded all of them! We opted for the tasting menu as first-time diners & the plates did not disappoint. The dishes were savoury & fresh. The staff was equally amazing. Ask for Matthew - his service was impeccable! Will definitely be returning.

Nourriture excellente & service attentif. Malheureusement il faisait environ 17 degrés dans le restaurant. Les plats & ustensiles étaient gelés, par conséquent, la nourriture aussi. Nous ne retournerons plus en hiver.
