   Great service and food selection was excellent. Street parking was free after 6:00 pm. Parking garages all around. Overall, really enjoyed our dinner.

   The food was not good. It's super bland. I am Mediterranean and that was nothing how our food tastes like. The appetizers were good but honestly you can find just as good dips at Costco. The entrees were super over priced for the quality of the food. The waitress was nice, did the minimum. The decor could be a little more escalated considering our culture has soooo much flavor.

   It has been a few years since I have been to Sitti and the serving sizes seem smaller. Food is still delicious and the atmosphere is great.

   Our group of 6 ate lunch on the lovely outdoor patio, which is much quieter than indoor space. The food was delicious as usual. I had a salmon dish and a pomegranate spritzer. Service was fast and friendly. The most difficult part of dining at Sitti is the effort it takes to not fill up on the amazing fresh pita and zatar before the entree arrives!

   We always order the chicken, artichoke and sun-dried tomato dish and it stays consistently good year in and out. We also ordered the goat cheese, greens and orange salad this time. Excellent. Service was attentive.

   Our food was fine (what we had) but the service was terrible. My friend bit down on a date pit that was in the salad (not in a date!) and hurt his jaw pretty badly. The waiter didn't seem to care. We asked for a glass for our beer, it wasn't brought out. We waited a long time for food (waiter never communicating with us). We finally gave up, got our check and went some place else. Miserable service! Won't be back.

   We’ve had some good meals at Sitti in years past, but this was our first time back since Covid. Unfortunately it was no longer the same restaurant we enjoyed before! It was mid-afternoon and the restaurant was not packed, maybe only 1/2 full when we were seated. Our server was also working the bar so service was not very fast. It took a while to get our appetizers, and then we waited… and waited for our meals. Eventually our server came back with a few more free appetizers, saying there was a “mix up” in the kitchen and our meals would be out soon. When they came, I would’ve expected them to be piping hot since they were apparently just made, but they were just barely warm, making me wonder exactly what the kitchen mix up was. The presentation and flavor of the food did NOT match the price.

   Food was very good... when we received it. Went on a holiday and it seemed like the kitchen couldn't keep up with the demand. Our entrees came before the appetizers. That being said, they handled the situation properly and we will try them again on a quieter day.

    My friend and I both ordered the $22 chicken artichoke entree and received a swampy mess of boiled chicken, not "lightly breaded and fried". I had 2 artichoke pieces and my friend had NONE. And NEITHER of us had any capers. The soupy sauce seemed to be from a can of Campbell's soup, not kidding. Extremely disappointing as we have dined here many times and have always enjoyed. One husband had the Samkeh Harra, a decent salmon entree and the other had a "fair" vegan Lebanese curry entree. The dip trio and pita were excellent. When we complained to our waiter and the manager, they removed the 2 awful entrees, but we did not receive validation that the food was nothing like the photo on their website nor the description on the menu. We requested they let the kitchen staff know what they sent out was unacceptable and they didn't acknowledge the importance of getting this dish right. They just didn't care. Sad. Won't be returning. So many other restaurant options out there now.

    Sitti has always had excellent food and we enjoyed our meals on this visit. We especially enjoyed the stuffed pepper small plate. We allowed two hours and got out in plenty of time for our concert, but we felt the service could have been better. They had two large events going on in the restaurant while we were here and we felt like neither the kitchen nor the wait staff were able to keep up with the number of customers on hand.

    Food was good as always, but service was not good at all. Sat at the table for about 15-20 minutes without even being acknowledged by staff, no water brought to the table and no bread brought either until I asked…and from there we were treated like we were bothering them. When eating at a more upscale restaurant you expect the service to be 100%…I guess me and my girlfriend were treated the way we were because we didn’t look the part, or we didn’t fit into the standard of customers at this particular restaurant, but that shouldn’t matter because a paying customer is a paying customer at the end of the day. The only reason why I’m even upset is because we had a reservation and even then, a party sitting right next to us got water, food and appetizers before us when they sat down about 10 minutes after we got there and were immediately served. I guess I just don’t get it. But the food was still good.

    It was very underwhelming. Asked for an anniversary dessert beforehand for the couple. This was to celebrate an anniversary dinner. Never received it. Sitti used to be a place for special occasions but it was too loud and the food/ service was not what it used to be. Won’t be returning.

    Food was very good. We started with the dip trio which was excellent. Three out of four of us loved our entrees. Only negative was slow service and lack of contact with our waiter. We would have stayed longer and had a second drink, but it was never offered to us.

    Very good Lebanese food. The Sitti Tasting is a great choice if you want to sample several things. hummus, baba ghanouj, fattoush, chicken shawarma, kibbee mikli, and cheese rolls. Everything on the tasting was good. The chicken shawarma was the best shawarma I've had. The kibbee mikli was my least favorite. The restaurant is very open and has high ceilings so it tends to be noisy. The tables are close to each other.

    So disappointed. Sitti has been a favorite but this time, the only pluses were the salads and warm pita. Both entrees (curried lamb and beef shawarma) were bland and lukewarm. A good friend had a similar disappointing experience weeks earlier.

    Nice mix of vegan and meat. Nice menu. I found the food a bit bland, however, from an American perspective. Hot sauce cost me an extra buck. Meat was marinated well and cooked perfect. Everything had essentially the same flavor profile. Nothing made me go wow. Ingredients were very good and fresh. We had 2 apps and 2 entrees, 1 drink, bottle of Peligrino for 74$, so reasonable... Decor was almost cafeteria like. Clientele was well dressed. Fairly busy but not booked out on a Friday.

    After a few visits to Sitti and sampling different aspects of the menu, we have found it to be.consistently delicious and well prepared across the board. Generous portions from rich a e flavorful entrees are rich to appetizer and mezze offerings that are executed perfectly. Bread is always fresh and warm. Generous portions of all of this along with good service and a cool atmosphere keep us coming back.

    We took my daughters here for Easter as they are vegetarian and I know Sitti has some great vegetarian options and they did not disappoint! They sat us at a table with a view into the kitchen which was great! All of the staff were so friendly and welcoming, i highly recommend this restaurant! We shared a bunch of apps and small plates and everything was amazing! My daughters especially liked the fried cauliflower and the feta cheese dip! We will definitely be back!

    Ambiance was great, but the food was a serious disappointment. Our meals were not served warm, lacked flavor, and came with rice that looked and tasted like it was reheated in the microwave. For the price, our group was highly disappointed.

    I wanted to love this so much more than I did. I had high hopes but the food was a 5 at best. The only item I would give a 10 was the warm pita break. The chicken swawarma was mushy. The fries were soggy. The lebne was bland and the kefta did not have great flavor. I really wanted to love this as I had heard great things. Maybe they just had an off day.
