I made reservations beforehand, was greeted at the front door . We walked in hostess seated us right away . Waiter came recommended popular dishes . we had 4 different appetizers and 3 different main courses and dessert and everything was delicious and wonderful . The drinks was delicious , food was freshly made definitely will be coming back again . I suggest making reservations before it gets really, really busy and the place is pretty big . It’s where La masa used to be .

The food was very good, but expensive for the amount you get, they were stingy on a few items like the hummus and Labne appetizers. We never got the Kibbe balls which were $28 for a set of 4 which is a lot. the meat skewers and the octopus and fish were great. Service was good other then waiting for our first drinks for 20 mins because of only one bartender
