The waiter was also very knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMA New Take on a Familiar CuisineFantastic, different take on the usual Mediterranean food, coming from Lebanon and Armenia. The waiter was very helpful, and the owner even stopped by our table to give us his recommendations--and all were delicious. Be ready to share everything, including the desserts. Lots of big groups, so it can get loud, but never overwhelming. And the decor is lovely.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMI went to Almayass becauseI went to Almayass because I still remember the lamb and cherry dish that I had at their original Beirut location four years ago.

Can crowd/noise up, but pretty comfy nevertheless...3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic service and greatFantastic service and great food. This will give Middle Eastern food lovers a great option. Will definitely return.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMPleasant Surprise + for VegetarianTook some relatives here that were in to visit from out of town. One of them is a Vegan - so it can be a challenge to find "foodie" restaurants that work for the group. Was very impressed with the restaurant - the decor, the ambiance, and the food and wine were all superb. I would have given five stars - but the waiter was a little pushy, and kept recommending meat - even though the table had mentioned we were mostly vegetarian. He did a nice job of highlighting the menu and picked out a nice Lebanese wine for the table. We loved the eggplant dip, the spicy walnut dip, Haloumi cheese and Fatoush salad were amazing (probably misspelled; sorry).3/13/2013 12:00:00 AM
