- SSheilaVIPWashington, D.C. Area •74 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoLebanese Taverna is one of our favorites over many years. We enjoy the food and the attentiveness of the wait staff. The Valentine's Day special was superb. Nice selection, far more than we could eat, so we can enjoy again at home. We suggest that on a weekend (Fri-Sun) making a reservation for an earlier time (like 6PM).More infoLebanese Taverna - Pentagon RowPrice: Moderate• Middle Eastern• Arlington•4.6
- DDanteVIPGreater Boston •8 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThere was a slight delay with seating the reservations. Based on overhearing the communication between the hostess and other staff, it seemed to be largely due to the inexperience of the waiting staff. However, I attribute most of it due to the holiday, Valentine’s Day. It Can feel a little tight as they’ve maximized the use of all available space to seat patrons, so if you get a little claustrophobic, you may want to consider dining at a time that isn’t busy. Overall great value and great experience, especially for the Washington DC area. The only recommendation I would make to Rumi’s Kitchen would be to broaden your selection of wines by the glass. At the price point of your bottles of wine, it makes it a little difficult for some patrons to commit to making the purchase of a bottle.  Thanks for the good time!More infoRumi's Kitchen - DCPrice: Expensive• Persian• Mount Vernon Square•4.8
