Excellent Lebanese food and great value on the lunch special. Ambience and decor is very nice and upscale. It was quiet when I went for a business lunch. I recommend it and would return.

Excellent service in a great setting. This is our go-to place prior to the opera a the Met. I had the recommended salad: lightly dressed arugula with walnuts, cheese, tiny tomatoes....very good. The lamb chops were done to order with a rich dark sauce that was just the right touch. My partner had a hamburger...said it was the tastiest but slightly over temp for her. We both finished with the bruleed lemon tart, which is always a show-stopper/
