Visited for lunch on Monday this week. Couldn't recommend it more. Do not eat breakfast as the food at lunch just kept coming. You won't need to eat dinner either. Not a single dish that I didn't enjoy.

Best Mediterranean cuisine in Beirut! Absolutely loved it! A must try... food is totally difference that the traditional Lebanese restaurant ... great live music during the evening on Thursdays and Fridays... offers great lunch as well. Set menus are only available but they are so large in quantities and varieties you really must not eat anything all day to be able to try everything ... it's best to go in a group of at least 5 ppl and make sure you eat a little bit of everything so you can try it all! Must reserve well ahead of time ...

The food is so good. The quantities / varieties are beyond what you could eat. Try to go in big groups of 6+ so you may consume most of the food.
Seating in the first floor is very quiet with no entertainment/ customers in this level are mostly seniors. The ground floor has more youthful decoration, life entertainment, and young / vibrant crowds. Price is $65 PP drinks excluded.
