This establishment represents a significant destination for those seeking a comprehensive exploration of Mediterranean-inspired dishes prepared with technical precision.

Immaculate service, staff, & food.

Noble

Excellent food. Expensive for what it is but service compensates it all. Ambiance is made by the people or other clients talk, so you feel the warm ambiance

Place extraordinaire pour l'ambiance, le décor & la qualité de la nourriture. Vaut le détour! Avons été à la première tablée de 18:00. Avons eu suffisamment de temps pour manger, boire & discuter. Avons quittés à 20:45 avant la deuxième tablée sans avoir été poussés de quitter.

Stellar service from start to finish. Thank you George. Atmosphere & design is very authentic & appealing. Prices are inflated however when you're in your'prime' I suppose you milk it for all it's worth. Lentil soup, pistachio kebbe, & braised lamb dish among others. Oh a very unique appetizer; PASTIRMA, (Cured beef filet mignon, aged sheep milk cheese, & quail egg). Very good. I'm being generous with 4 stars. $24 for a glass of Armenian white wine? Not worth it. I will have to return to this establishment. This time with a guest, unlike the one who was with me on this eve, that will be appreciative & kind. This lady was not a'lady' at all & has left a bitter taste from my experience. I shall'redeem' myself. Cheers.

Les mets sont succulents, bien que le prix soit conséquent, l'expérience gastronomique en vaut amplement la peine.
