Casual, fresh and bright plates, putting a unique spin on traditional Israeli street food and hospitality traditions. Some recipes, including the falafel, have been passed down for generations through Baum’s (our owner!) family and were first served at Rina’s own falafel stand in Israel in the 1950’s. No wonder she chose to name the restaurant after the women who embedded some of the fondest memories of her upbringing. Rina also mean happiness in Hebrew and that is exactly how we intend to make you feel.

    Knife is beautiful and the ambiance was amazing. I made a reservation and my fiancé and I were seated right away. We ordered a ceasar salad and calamari for appetizers which tasted amazing (so we think)! Our food came out extremely quick which was a plus. We spent literally an hour in the restaurant. That’s the quickest I’ve ever been in and out of a restaurant. The only downfall to this beautiful experience was the food had no type of seasoning. It was bland! I had the salmon which came with I believe to be Alfredo sauce on top (had no taste), fingerling potatoes, broccolini, and rice and it didn’t taste like anything. My fiancé had the lamb which came with rice, fingerling potatoes, and asparagus (which was scorched). I was very disappointed in how the food tasted. I had to ask for a to go box just so I could take it home and put seasoning on it. Overall it was an amazing experience just wish our meal tasted better. I’ll give it a 7/10. We’ll try it again someday hopefully they get a better chef or the chef learns how to use salt and pepper.
