    You must try this restaurant. The team that works here is amazing. All of them. The host and hostess were so sweet and polite. We felt welcomed to be there while we waited about a minute to get our table. The lounge and bar are beautiful. Our server was the sweetest. I accidently tossed the receipt so I don't have her name. Our bussboy/server assistant was great as well. The food runner was so polite and informative about all of our dishes. Now lets talk about the amazing food, plating and dish selections. They could not have done a better job if they tried. We loved it all and the homemade pita bread was to die for. The most delicious hummus. The beat and pear salad, the house salad and the eggplant we just some delicious. The falafel just melted in your mouth. There were mouth watering meatballs as well. There were pickled vegetables and a yummy salad as well. It was well balanced. The small plates and bowls with the color selections were something off of a cooking show. You will be spoiled by it all. We skipped dessert, only because we were trying to be good. The pumpkin dessert and the chocolate candy bar cake was enjoyed by others around us. It looked so amazing. I did get the Lebanese coffee semi sweet and there take of an espresso martini that was made with tequila. Both were so delicious. Before leaving I made sure to tell the managers how wonderful everything was so they could let the team know. They were so appreciative and humble. I could tell they all love working there. If you want to have an amazing time, you must eat here. You will not be disappointed.

    Everything was amazing, the service, the food was delicious and the restaurant is fun and well decorated. My only suggestion is that the live music start a little later. The musician was very good, but the music was too loud, our reservation was at 6:15pm
