We absolutely loved our entire experience from beginning to end. The service was impeccable. We could not have asked for better care during our anniversary dinner and the food was incredibly delicious. For us, the crab risotto was not a winner, but it was different and good to try Cajun oysters so freaking good!!

Lovely spot with great food and warm service! The staff is always the best—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The martinis were perfectly made, and the appetizers were absolutely delicious. Don’t leave without trying the strawberry rhubarb butter cake—it’s definitely a must!

We had a fantastic dinner at Musaafer. We loved the decor and our server was excellent. He recommended great dishes for us and just the right amount of food. We loved everything! My favorites were the chipotle chicken appetizer, the eggplant side dish and the 72 hour black lentils.

I went to this restaurant a few years ago. The service wasn’t as great and something about the ambiance has changed.
