We had a great experience, food was amazing, filling, great taste. DOM's service was exceptional, didn't just served us happily but had recommended the places to visit & guided us for the day. Will definitely be back on next visit.

Food was a nice modern take on Lebanese cuisine. Inventive & tastes really good. The Shawerma Benedict & Baklava Pancakes were very well done. However, the matcha latte was pretty weak, too milk heavy despite the price tag. Our server, Dom, was really friendly & attentive.

Place looks great, staff is friendly. They were pushing us to get the group menu at $95 a head instead of letting us order our own meals. We ended up being able to order ourselves. The lamb chops were 2 cm thick & incinerated, literally charcoal. Portions were very small, food overpriced. Very mediocre taste as well. $120 for one person. Wouldn't revisit, many better options.

Slow & inattentive service. Can't get a water refill unless you ask for it & it took forever & multiple people to get our bill. Food is fine for the price, although I found the pancakes to be very dense & dry without the added syrup.
