    Not how I remembered it, definitely not as good as it used to be. Maybe there is a different chef, I don’t know but we were disappointed and had higher expectations.

    My husband and I always enjoy dating at this restaurant. We sit at a comfortable booth table where we can talk nicely as my husband has hearing issues. The food is so good, just what we want to eat. The service is very nice that they honor our request, the waiters are very kind and polite. We will go back there for the next date again.

    Everything is wonderful. People love the fatoosh salad, the eggplant fries, the salmon and the pigs in mud (chocolate) dessert. Vegetable tagine is perfect for vegetarians.

    We had a reservation , waited and had to watch a large party leave the restaurant , waitstaff flipping the tables , removing dirty dishes, setting new dishes etc all while I wondered why we were waiting and not seated at the empty, clean, set up table directly behind this production…. All that so we can be placed , party of 4 , at the front door and in the middle of a busy walkway. When I asked if we could have the table that was ready all along the hostess said that the table was set for 5 . Fast forward 20 minutes , a party of 4 sits at the table that we asked but was told no , its set for 5. The rest of the experience was good but would have been wonderful if they could have honored my time and my simple request for a more comfortable table after such a long wait.

    We went on Father’s Day for dinner. The place was hoppin! Lot’s of regulars, families, young people and young at heart folks too. Even though it was very busy the staff was calm, friendly and very professional. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun going out to dinner. They treat everybody like VIP’s.

    They need better service. Lunch was extremely slow and disjointed. We had a reservation, they should have been better prepared/staffed.
