    Went for valentines and it was such a joy. The food was also wonderfully complex and deeply rich. The waitress was very friendly throughout and always checked in frequently. Would and have recommended.

    We had an amazing experience at Ammatoli. The customer service and attentiveness was outstanding. Just simply being acknowledged and greeted by our hostess, waiters, busboy and being recommended dishes by our friendly waiter (Mason), made the experience pleasant and enjoyable. The restaurant offers delectable dishes from The Levant region and we were delighted by the quality and authenticity. Overall the food was excellent and we enjoyed it not just with our sense of taste but all our other senses. We will definitely be back soon.

    The best Lebanese food in Orange County hands down! We’ve been to a few and glad we finally found Bei!! So many authentic options! Everything we ordered was fresh and high quality. We were a party of 6 and did the pre set menu tier 3. Soooo much good food and we got to try everything from appetizers, dips, and main bbq were delicious. We added the lamb chops a la Carte, as they were not included in the pre set menu and they were amazing! Don’t skip on those! Service was great! Our waters were always filled and servers were kind and sweet. It does get really busy ( we came on a Friday), we waited about 10 minutes past our reservation time but it wasn’t a big deal. Will be back soon! Thanks Bei!

    I have been going to Rosine's since 1988. It is my "go to" place to eat. The food is fantastic and has retained it's consistency for all these many years. I cannot remember a year that I have not eaten at Rosine's at least 6 times. The service is always excellent and the wine list is very very good. If you have never been.....treat yourself to great Mediterranean cuisine....you will not regret it!
