This was a bad dining experience. The prix fixe menu was mediocre - it began with good appetizers and then went steeply downhill from there. I ordered the chicken and got 3-4 balls of chicken with very minimal flavoring. 3/6 people ordered the lamb and not 1 person finished it. The dessert was AWFUL...

This was my first time here and I decided this place because I saw it online and I really wanted to try some Lebanese food for a long time ago. Long story short, I sat down at the bar and Hector the bartender recommended us a couple dishes and I do have to say.It was amazing the drinks as well. He...

I keep trying to find an opportunity to come back here and keep getting thwarted. The food was excellent - I made a meal of different mezze, while one person in the group kept raving about the juicy lamb burger. Tried a couple of different middle eastern beers I d never seen before. The design ma...

Some of the dishes are hit or miss. The duck schwarma is easily the best thing on the menu, and is truly amazing. Beef kebab was also great; lamb was a bit gamey for my taste, but I prefer persian preparations versus lebanese.

Incredible food, service and atmosphere. I can't recommend it enough. Went with a friend for restaurant week and tried four different appetizers. The falafel was delectably crispier than normal and shaped like cake, the moussaka was a burst of flavor, the fattoush was refreshing and the muhummara wa...

One of the best meals I ve had in NYC! The food was incredible and was matched by outstanding service. The outdoor seating area was spacious and every precaution was taken to ensure a safe yet fun environment for a night of dining out. 10/10 would recommend!!!!

Consistently good food with plenty of space for large parties makes this an ideal for business dinners. Highly recommend trying the fine Lebanese wines of Chateau Musar, can even be worth the money to splurge on the more expensive Gaston Hochar.

Amazing selection of beautifully prepared Lebanese dishes in a classy environment. We allowed our server to surprise us with dishes and were not disappointed. Don't forget their delicious Brussels sprouts and the Ashta for dessert.

At a very basic level, this place has excellent Lebanese food compared to what's available in the US and is good compared to what you can find in Lebanon.

Food: the atayef with veal bacon is excellent and creative, as is the majority of the grilled food in the main plate section. The chicken shaw...

Great service and amazing food. We were a party of 6 and what worked best for us was the round table with lots of space in the middle (since we shared nearly all of the dishes). I have several food sensitivities and the server and chef were very helpful in pointing out or modifying the dishes. One f...

Really great aesthetic - very clean wood lines, with relaxing color schemes and clean layout. There is a long hall with a casual lounge area and bar adjacent to a more formal dining room. The food is really good - fresh, authentic and filled with spice (interesting flavors and aromas). Everyone was ...

We had a great experience here, starting with the original cocktails, and creative Lebanese cuisine, meant to be shared. The waiter helped us find the more original dishes. My only , very minor complaint., is that the wine list is very limited. Would definitely return.

Had a lonely date here during the pandemic. Food was delicious and the server was friendly.

The tables are pretty tiny so if you re with tall people, it could be a bit difficult. We almost flipped the table over a few times.

That being said, we had a great experience.
