From the very moment I stepped into that enchanting restaurant, I was captivated by an atmosphere brimming with history and charm. Each corner of the establishment seemed to whisper tales from the past, inviting us to experience not just a meal, but a journey through time. The décor, with its elegant furnishings and soft lighting, created a warm embrace around us, making it feel like we were nestled in a hidden gem away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. As for the culinary experience, it was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish we tasted was carefully curated, and the way the food and wine were paired together was simply unparalleled. Every bite was a delightful explosion of flavors, perfectly complemented by the exquisite wines that danced harmoniously on our palates. It’s as if the chef had crafted each element with a deep understanding of how they would coexist, creating a symphony of taste that I will not soon forget. To add to the magic of the evening, the service was impeccable. The staff was not only attentive but also genuinely warm and engaging, making us feel like cherished guests rather than mere patrons. Their passion for hospitality was evident in every detail, from their thoughtful recommendations to their genuine smiles. The ambiance around us was equally breathtaking, blending soft music with the gentle hum of conversation, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in this delightful experience.

We enjoyed our dinner. The fried cauliflower and Lebanese stir-fried lamb were DELICIOUS. The lamb dish was also a hearty portion. The crab cakes and the hummus were a bit disappointing. We'd go back for the lamb and the cauliflower. Overall, it's a unique and tasty spot.

The ambiance and service were both exceptional. They do a wonderful job with the acoustics too- we could hear each other perfectly but couldn’t hear the other tables nearby and overall didn’t notice a lot of background noise. My husband and I did the three course option. The tenderloin (likely around 3-4oz) was the highlight of the meal, the scallop was also delicious but was just a single scallop. I wasn’t a fan of the recommend asparagus starter- it was very heavily dressed and with the combination of a lightly poached egg was just a bit… wet… for me- that’s just a personal preference. My husband started with the carrot curry soup and enjoyed that. Overall we enjoyed the experience but felt the meal was a touch overpriced. Including a cocktail and half bottle of wine, our meal was $380 with tax/tip. Would selectively recommend.
