I'm so glad we gave this spot a second chance. The first time we went here in 2021, we weren't…read moreimpressed. Flash forward to 2026, it's a Monday around 8pm and knowing that this place doesn't close until 10pm, we figured we'd give it a shot. We arrived around 8:20pm, and asked for a table for 2. We were immediately directed into the bar which I thought was a little odd but I figured maybe they had just cleaned the main dining room for the night and it would be easier for them if they sat us in the bar. There was one customer at the bar, but he left about ten minutes into us arriving. After the bartender closed his tab out, she came to our table and took our order. She offered us bread, but it never came out. We started with an order of the figs prosciutto and salami flatbread, and the Monterey Bay tempura calamari. Both dishes came out in about 12 minutes. My partner and I enjoyed the calamari but were more impressed with the flatbread. The way the fig, and cheese, and prosciutto all blended with one another was deliciously sweet and savory. Once the appetizers came out, we put in an order for our entrees and drinks. My partner got a watermelon spritz, and I got a sparkling water. For dinner, my partner ordered the Penne Bolognese and I ordered the Linguine Pesto. The entrees took about an additional 20 minutes to whip up. I think if you're in the mood for pasta, these are both great picks. Personally, I thought the Penne Bolognese had more meat than I would have preferred, but I recognize that I'm not a huge meat eater, and for someone like my partner who has to have meat in every meal, it was incredible. My Linguine Pesto was perfectly cooked, cheesy, and the pesto flavors were prominent. I'm guessing this is a one off thing, but when we were seated in the bar area - I was getting bit by mosquitos like crazy. When I got home, I had at least 3 bites on my stomach, and then a handful running down my leg. To be honest, mosquitos love me, so I normally wouldn't have mentioned this but my partner who doesn't typically get bit as much as I do, started getting attacked too and we had to leave because we were so itchy. Overall the food here is fantastic - and I think would be a great date night spot. For 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and 2 drinks (1 alcoholic) our bill was $115 subtotal. There's also plenty of parking which is a plus.

This establishment is truly a hidden gem. I've been here about half a dozen times since the…read morebeginning of 2026. Even though the menu is full of wonderful choices, I've only ordered two things--the chopped wedge salad with balsamic vinaigrette and the tiramisu. They're both so amazing that I haven't been able to bring myself to try anything else! The atmosphere is charming, and the live music is a wonderful bonus that makes every visit even more enjoyable. What really sets this place apart, though, is the service. Michelle, who works in the bar, has a gift for making every guest feel at home. She adds such a warm, personal touch to every interaction, and even when the restaurant is busy, her service never misses a beat. She has a way of making an already wonderful place feel truly magical

My wife and k shared a combo #3 together and it filled both of us. From the moment we walked in, we could tell this place was special. The owner and staff are genuinely from the Mediterranean region, and it truly shows in the food. There's an authenticity and depth of flavor that you simply can't fake -- every dish feels like it's made with tradition, care, and real culinary knowledge. The service was excellent. The lady who helped us at the counter was especially kind and friendly, taking her time to make sure we felt welcomed and comfortable while ordering. That warm hospitality made the experience even better. What impressed me most is the value. The food is high quality, generously portioned, and very affordable. It's rare to find authentic Mediterranean cuisine at such reasonable prices. Honestly, this place just needs more word of mouth so more people in town can discover what an incredible gem it is. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try authentic Mediterranean dishes. You won't be disappointed -- it's flavorful, welcoming, and truly worth a visit!

My 1st time at this Lebanese restaurant. The ambiance was nothing special and the interior is very…read moresmall, but very clean. We each ordered the chicken kabobs (called something else on the menu). It came with 2 sides and we each ordered the tabouli and rice. I also ordered tzatziki and they served us 2 good sized pieces of freshly made pita. The chicken was marinated and grilled perfectly. I usually eat 1/2 and take home the rest. I ate every bite. We both enjoyed our choices. I'm not a big garlic sauce person, but my friend loved it and cleaned her serving cup. Our waitress gave each of us a baklava finger, for dessert. No charge. We received excellent service, from the hostess to the waitress. They also have 2 bakery counters so my friend ordered some baklava fingers to go and plans on returning to try some more goodies. Overall, we had a 2 hour catch up lunch and a really tasty meal, without being rushed. I will be back.

I particularly love their hot appetizer plate that includes the cheese rolls and kibbeh. Unfortunately their service and dining experience recently has made me question if I'll be back again. Their space is very small so a table for 6 people is really uncomfortable. On top of that, their serving dishes are massive and the service staff is unaware how to put the dishes on the table because the table is so small. There were only 2 people waiting tables which caused for a lot of frustration from the staff. They also rarely stopped by our table to clear out plates which again we needed some plates gone because tables were so small. Recommendation, more people need to work at the front and y'all need bigger tables. A $330 meal (which included $50 service charge) where the service was rough was not worth.
