I normally stay away from the restaurants & the Old Port area as they tend to be overpriced & not worth the money. I therefore had my reservations when we made an impromptu decision to try out Hayat.. but it definitely paid off. The food was quite outstanding- it seemed quite authentic, was very well prepared & plated.

The menu is interesting & not crazy long- which clearly gives them the ability to ensure strong quality control. The desserts were refreshing & unique. As were the cocktails. The service is kind & attentive & the location & ambience are beautiful. 100% recommend.

My husband & I had a wonderful saturday night at Hayat, starting with a warm welcome. Throughout the evening, our waiter was friendly & attentive, offering great recommendations from the variety of cocktails & menu options. I would also like to mention the young man who was always present, smiling, & attentive, making sure our water glasses were never empty, clearing away finished plates & promptly bringing clean plates & ustensiles for our next course. The service from both of them made our dining experience even more enjoyable. We will be back for sure!

We had a corporate lunch today & opted for an 85$ menu. The portions & cocktails were great… will hold many more meetings here.

Place also seems great for date night.
PS: try the dips!

Had a lovely time at Hayat last Saturday evening. I was showing a prospective student around the city & chose this restaurant as our final spot to end our tour. We were sat at the bar where the very engaging Otis took great care of us. We ordered dips as starters, which we shared, & honestly I had to cancel my main dish because there was more than enough food to fill us both up. We chose the baba ghanoush & the shawarma & hummus, which was served with two types of fresh bread, & the portions were plentiful. Our cocktails were also delicious. We both stated we would love to come back & try the mains, but we would need to work up a bigger appetite!
The design of the restaurant is lovely & the atmosphere was good. The only hiccup was that when I made our reservation, we only had the bar as an option, however when we arrived the restaurant was almost empty & it did not fill up by the time we left 2.5 hours later. Although our corner seats at the bar were cozy, we would have appreciated the option of booking a table.

Had a beautiful patio dinner here one evening in June. Ordered a cocktail & two appetizers, which was more than enough food for one person. They also brought out complementary breadsticks with labneh & za'atar to accompany the cocktail, which was very kind.

Servers were lovely - attentive without being overbearing.

Restaurant serves higher-end food in a touristy part of town - the prices reflect that.

Overall, a great meal & I would definitely return again.
