An evening out with some old colleagues turned out to be disappointing. The food was served cold & not very appetizing. The salad bar, in particular, was not fresh-the lettuce was soggy & unappealing.
The service also left much to be desired. We felt rushed throughout the meal, & the waitress was not very professional. Unfortunately, we didn't even have the chance to enjoy the complimentary salad entrée.
It's unfortunate because I've been here before & had a completely different experience. On a previous visit, we were served by a gentleman whose service was impeccable. This visit, however, did not meet those same standards.
Went with a group a little while ago & we were impressed with the food. Had a dish with a few different selections of meat & grilled veggies. I have to say the meat was great & the salad bar had lots of selections & was very fresh.
Prices are reasonable.
My only complaint was the service. It almost felt as if we were an inconvenience. Service was rushed & abrupt, several of us noticed & felt it.
Good mediteranean food, including a salad bar, byow, good service & good price. However, the ambiance is very desapointing, no music, very cold, at 8pm on a Friday night, they were passing the broom in the restaurant, make us feel that we should leave.

We found a true treasure!!! The food is really really good, I love the bar salad. Taste all them, they're delicious. We can see when someone love his job. Congrats for the chef.
I randomly picked this location during a business trip, ended up with a total satisfaction. The food is tasty & affordable, the side is big enough. On top of the plate, you can pick up anything you want from the salad bar free (included in the order) & the salad is good as well. Also, a bowl of warm & tasty soup is provided after you sit down to make you relax. The atmosphere is spacious & relaxing.
Great service. The staff is friendly & prompt, always willing to cater, & kid friendly. The food was fresh, salad bars have a great variety of flavors & the soup entrée felt very much like a home cooked meal. I recommend anything off the grill as it will be cooked to perfection!
Everything was perfect. Convivial atmosphere. All our guests were more than satisfied. The idea of the salad bar is super cool & the salads were all so yummi. Shout out to Ihab for his professional job!
Just came back from this restaurant with my wife & 20 month old daughter. Wow...what can I say...extremely disappointed in comparison to my last time there (I think there was a change in mgt). Service was fast but waitress came to bring us food & was not to be seen for the remainder of the evening. I took the Shish Taouk plate, it was cold & chicken was dry. My wife wanted to take a sandwhich...guess what they don't serve sandwiches on Saturday (only on specific days). They charged our daughter for the salad bar when she ate 2 bites of bread & 2 bites of rice & chicken. Might as well have gone to Basha or some other Lebanese place. Won't be seeing me at this place for a long long time...
