Absolutely incredible gaff! Impeccably decorated and the staff were super attentive. More importantly the food was everything you hoped and dreamed it would be. We lost count of the number of dishes that came out, and everyone was amazingly constructed and delicious. Several courses later - the tide of food eventually stopped and a couple of music legends took the stage. Can't recommend this place enough - truly authentic. Another shout out to the staff who were really friendly and helpful.

We went to this restaurant as we were told it was great, traditional Lebanese food. It was!

We spent several hours here. The food kept coming and coming. It was a late lunch and there was no need for another meal that day.

The food was very tasty and definitely was traditional Lebanese.

The service was good--several waiters ready for our every whim.

The decor was quite unique--decadent perhaps.

The restaurant is pricey for Lebanon but it is money well spent.

I definitely recommend this restaurant and would gladly go back.
