They have great dunks here and kept our water filled with a bottle at the table. Staff was very attentive. We decided to do the fixed price menu andit was such a good idea, they were also accommodating to dietary restrictions. We were stuffed by the end of the meal and verysatisfied!

We tried the around the world menu, and boy were we impressed! The taste of the dishes have deep yet light authentic flavors.We especially liked the lamb, as the meat is premium quality. It is one of the hardest to pull off. The caramel flan, a sweetdish, is to die for. We had to order another one. The squash and labneh were particularly exquisite. I can go on and on abouthow good their food is. If you are a foodie, this is a must visit spot! We will definitely come back again.

Not a place for picky eaters but if you love to try new foods you've possibly never even heard of,this is the restaurant for you! Also, they have some really good and interesting cocktails, one of which was a dill infusedvodka martini.

I recommend sitting outside during good weather. Our server was knowledgeable and very nice. Atthe end of the date my boyfriend and I were full and satisfied. I would come back here again.

I want to love this place more, but I found that their Tour of the Worldset menu has many dishes that were a little too spicy for me. In addition, as someone who’s severely lactose intolerant, whilethey could set aside dairy for a certain dish, there were no substitutions offered for their cheesy Georgian bread (khachapuri)and creme brûlée dessert. Having been to other restaurants that offer a tasting menu, they’d either offer substitutions forany items that include dairy, or simply indicate on the menu that no substitutions will be allowed. Had Compass Rose done thelatter, I’d have gladly dined at another place instead of leaving hungry after spending $52/person.
