    We met another couple and we were all very happy from beginning to end. The service and atmosphere were very nice. The sharing concept worked well and we all loved our choices of food. The restaurant has a welcoming, cozy atmosphere even though it has a large seating capacity. We are already looking forward to going back.

    This is the second time I have been to Somewhere for their happy hour from 5-7. The service is exceptional, staff friendly, patient and relaxed. The food is delicious and of excellent value at half price for sharing plates. Without asking, our waitress brought a birthday dessert to our table when she overheard us talking and it was generous enough for 4 to share. We all loved it and will be going back, excellent for GNO’s or date night. Loved the music during our dinner, great background vibe and not too loud.

    Fairouz can do no wrong. We went to a different restaurant prior and wanted to leave so bad, and we were glad to get this reservation within 15 mins of checking the app to book it. Here’s to making a last minute decision for my birthday dinner. The meat platter was amazing, quick to bring to the table. An intimate ambiance for a date night, and great Arabi playlist of course
