I must've ordered all the wrong things because i didn't really enjoy it that much. I had the hibiscus tea (cold) & it just tasted like 7UP, & I had the libanese burger which was not that libanese & the bun was cold & ketchup isn't very libanese.

Update: the cashier was super nice though

Good sound for live music but be prepared to pay over $10 for a bottle of beer.

C'est très mignon & grand étonnamment ! Le personnel est hyper gentil !!

Seule hic : la bouffe est quand même chère pour ce que c'est. C'est vraiment adapté à un budget étudiant.

Autrement, super endroit pour organiser des soirées d'humour ou tout autre événement de type conférence/chill. :)
