My mom and I enjoyed it so much, we came back twice! The chef, David, remembered us and kindly gave us a lobsterroll. *chef’s kiss* you have to go here. You won’t regret it!

Even the chef made us a special anniversary dish. The food was fantastic (especially the Pitabread), and the dishes were small enough that you could share a few to get a nice sampling of the cuisine. Prices werereasonable. Highly recommend!

I ordered lemon and lentil soup 14 Should have been served with goat cheese and pita. I received a half empty cup of something like soup?It didn’t have any flavor other then a slight hint of spice. The Tiqa salad, also 14 Winter greens, beets, feta andpistachio? No. I received a side salad portion of romaine lettuce and biter cherry tomatoes. I’m hangry and angry that I spent 50 total on food and half of it did not resemble anything close to the description on the menu and tastes terrible. Don’twaste your hard earned .

Several of the menu items looked delicious, so I ordered a few things to try. I had my eye on the spicy fries, but unfortunately couldn 't have themdue to the fryer not being dedicated, but again, they were very forthcoming about that. They really cared about my diningexperience. *It turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because the appetizer I got instead was DIVINE The decor is SO NICE.I 've never seen a bathroom that nice ANYWHERE, even at the luxury spa I go to. I couldn 't believe how nice they were. I feltlike they were clean and attended to regularly. I will edit and update after I eat, but so far, the mocktail mule is hitting thespot! UPDATE: the hummus and marinated feta with cucumbers were out of this world!! I don 't even like feta, and I couldn 't stopeating this. For dinner, I ordered the Potato Knafeh, and the Falafel Plate. Both exceeded my expectations. The Falafel was THEBEST I have ever tasted. My husband had polenta for the first time, and cleaned his plate. EAT HERE, IF YOU 'RE LOOKING FOR APLACE TO EAT DELICIOUS FOOD!!

And the flavor on the meat is very mild.
