    Beautiful ambiance, considerate, friendly service, delicious innovative dishes. Portions are on the small side, but quality compensates. Looking forward to trying brunch.

    Loved the food and service!.The space is beautiful and I would go back and sit in the main dining room. That would be deserving of the full 5 stars!

    The restaurant is beautiful, the service is kind, and drinks were inventive. A piece of feedback is that we ordered the dips and did not have enough bread. Additional bread was $15 (the entire dips menu item is $21). A bit surprising this wasn’t mentioned or that bread was a more palatable charge.

    Gorgeous space and servers were very sweet, but regretfully there were quite a few blunders that knocked off a few stars. One of my guests ended up finding her own way to our table, our courses were served clumsily, and the payment transaction at the end was confusing and awkward. Again our server was so sweet, but it was very clear that this is a fledgling restaurant that hasn’t quite figured out how to live up to The Twenty Two’s (comparatively monolithic) presence in both prestige and attention to detail.

    The restaurant is exquisite and the service was fabulous. I highly recommend the breads & spreads, jibineh cheese, mushrooms, beets and eggplant to start. The octopus & steak skewers, the shish barak, the chicken and spaghetti. We had the cheesecake, baklava, and tiramisu. All ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
