• Mediterranean • Orange
Booked 1 time today
Byblos Café, originally a Mediterranean market, has been a staple in the orange circle since the 50’s. It was sold to Adel and Zalfa Mahshi in 1989. The family run business became a favorite in the town for Lebanese cuisine. Many locals loyally frequented the spot for their famous Turkish coffee. In 2022, Daily Dose Hospitality, the crew that also runs Bosscat Kitchen & Libations, purchased the business from the family. While Adel and Zalfa had the opportunity to retire, their son, Tim, joined the team alongside Pedram Yazarlou as operating partners. They have transitioned the cuisine to a Mediterranean fusion style with influences from Greece, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, & Jordan.

    Truly enjoyed our night with the family celebrating our sons 23rd birthday!! The wine and food were delicious and the service was great! We usually come to Francoli for date night and love sitting /dining at the bar! Tonight's table near the wine wall was nice yet secluded.

    We looked at the menu options prior to making reservations - unfortunately, the two items that we were most interested in (mussels and lobster roll), they were totally out of and had been for a while. They should have updated the on-line menu. Other than that, it was very good. However, don't go if you are really hungry. Everything, but the burger, were small plates. We will go back, now that we know what to expect.

    Table was ready when when got there. Surprisedly not booked-out. So we received a 4 seater for 2 people. Thank goodness because the Thanksgiving prix-fix menu was insane and took up the entire table. Besides turkey, ham plus you could add prime rib for $10.00. Mashed potatoes green beans casserole yams mac and cheese all of the traditional Thanksgiving meal. Huge to go boxes which were definitely needed. Wish I could remember our waiter name whom was an absolute pleasure. Hate to say it but one of the best Thanksgiving meals ever. Sorry mom.

    The staff is really nice and attentive. The water they prepared for my 16-month daughter has a short straw. I think the waiter cut it shorter, so it’s easier for her to drink. The happy hour menu is great as well. We almost finished ordering the entire drink and food menu 😂
