I've been there once and I assure that I won't repeat it. It's not because food tastes bad: on the contrary; food tastes great but the problem is that they keep on putting dishes and removing dishes whereby sometimes you would've eaten just ONE bite from that dish. You don't recognize the main dish and when you are over you ask about it and they tell which it was! I asked the administration about food; if they package left food (which is 90% of what they pass to you)it to poor people such as Syrian refugees in camps or charities... And they said their policy is the throw the food into garbage!!!!
A dinner is around $70 per person which is too high regarding offering that include cheap stuff such as 'mjaddara' or 'adas'....Besides, tables are jammed, so you can follow up the details of conversation of your neighbors and so they can!
I don't recommend this restaurant at all for the reasons above!

Em Sherif is a classy Lebanese restaurant where there is no need for a menu. For around $62 per person excluding drinks you get everything! Mezza main dishes and dessert. there will not be enough place in your stomach to eat everything but it is worth it. Cutlery is all silver, waiters are in black and white, the decor is traditional Lebanese. The food is spectacular and worth the splurge. Definitely a recommended restuarant in Beirut not to be missed.
