    The restaurant is beautiful. The food amazing and service was great Caroline, our waitress was the best i have ever seen So attentive, good natured. The beet hummus, fish and the falafel salad were great I just wish they had middle eastern music and an entertainment like the fire dancers and belly dancers

    Service was lousy. The waitress told my girlfriend and I to order all at once by the time she came back to our table again so we didn’t get a good chance to really look at our options. And the waitress never came to check on us after dropping our food. The bussers were great though as well as the ambiance.

    During Lent, I had to go for the Vegan menu. Unfortunately, I couldn't indulge in any seafood or other dishes, but I absolutely adored their potato fries (I forgot the name). The drinks were enjoyable, but to be honest this place is a tad pricey. On a Friday night around 10:30, I noticed that everyone was starting to head out even though the place stays open until 1 am. It felt a bit dull and almost everyone had left. I prefer more lively spots, especially on weekends when they have shows and entertainment.

    We visited this restaurant to celebrate my mom’s birthday. We started with drinks, which arrived at the table well after food. Unfortunately, we had to call the waitress every time we needed something, which made the service feel lacking. Drinks weren’t good. The food itself was delicious, but the strawberry in the dessert, which had a candle for my mom’s birthday, was past its prime and not fresh, which was disappointing. Additionally, the way they brought out the candle felt cheap, which was a letdown.
