I hardly write cripples, but I had to do it. what a great meal we had. everything was fresh and tasty and the service could not have been better. five of us mostly shared small tellers and one escape. we had cocktails to start and a wonderful Lebanese white wine to accompany our meal (recommended by the fabulous hostess). everything was excellent!

I seldom write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience. We had an amazing meal! Everything was fresh and delicious, and the service was outstanding. There were five of us, and we primarily shared small plates, along with one main dish. We started with cocktails and enjoyed a fantastic Lebanese white wine with our meal, which was recommended by the wonderful hostess. Everything was truly excellent!
