    The food was exceptional. We got the 18oz Porterhouse steak and it was delicious. So tender and flavorful. Our waiter, Gilberto was amazing. We genuinely felt the love from him. I brought my girlfriend (Now fiancé) here after proposing to her at the beach and our waiter was wonderful. He gave us all the best wishes and even a complimentary Crème Brûlée. Will definitely be back here. Best steakhouse in town hands down.

    This is the third time I've eaten here in the last few months and it was outstanding, as usual! While we didn't love where they seated us (even though we had made reservations over a month in advance - but now I know what to ask for in the reservation), the food and service were great. The roasted beet hummus, muttabal and fresh-from- the-oven pitas were probably our favorites, but everything was great. Last time I came here, I ordered the roasted beets salad with grilled salmon (also amazing). We also tried two desserts, the knafeh and osmalieh ice cream, both were excellent...and they went great together! I'm looking forward to my next visit!

    The food was outstandingly fresh, high quality, and creatively prepared and served. The price fixe menu of many courses seemed to climb a bell curve, with the least interesting being the shrimp chip and dip starter ‘snack’ , climbing to a magnificent crescendo with the the scallop and mussel small plate, and an equally exquisite plate of the freshest sliced kampachi. Each plate was beautiful, graced with curated vegetables, flowers, and delicate sauces that completed, never overpowered. Our only complaint: we found the dessert disappointing in flavor, appearance and texture: a choux pastry ball with a heavy dull filling, sitting on top of a scatter of what resembled stale cocoa puff cereal pieces. I would have traded it for the rich creamy mascapone ice cream served earlier, sans the caviar topping. The service was outstanding: gracious, helpful, attentive, knowledgeable and well orchestrated. Overall we had a fabulous dining experience, exceeding our highest expectations. In most every way, including price, dining here is a special occasion; we could not understand how or why most diners we observed were wearing gym clothes, T-shirts and jeans, sneakers, fuzzy slippers. What’s next: dining in our underwear? How about a dress code?!

    So cute with all the holiday decorations! At first we were seated outside in the drizzle but they moved us to an apartment door table which was so much warmer. Great service & tasty food. The drinks were strong & delicious with cute rubber ducks, a plastic reindeer, umbrellas…..the works. We loved the experience:)
