    Went here for my birthday and also had family visiting from out of town. The food was incredible and we appreciate the servers explaining each dish as it came out. We also had a 3 year old with us and he enjoyed the gnocchi and pizza! Drinks were also delicious. The only thing we would improve is the ambiance as it was quite crowded inside and outside re: seating. If there was a way to make the restaurant more spacious so as people are going in and out of their seat they are not bumping into servers or other people dining that would be better. Other than that, we will come back because the food was fantastic!

    The farm cheese is the best at Bavel. My husband and I also love the baba ghanoush (we always need an extra order of fried pita). The grilled dates have a nice kick to it and it was nice to eat a savory date for once. The lamb rack is always cooked to perfection. Our friend always orders the 26 oz ribeye and finishes it during dinner and my husband and I can see why. Nothing at Bavel disappointed us. I would recommend the cashew ice cream bar over the apple prune cake, but you really can't go wrong with either. It was a great dinner! Also every cheese and milk is pasteurized so despite being 6 months pregnant, I could eat everything!
