What a treat, the food was very good, my cocktail was superb (had 3) and service was spot on including the friendly hostesses. It's always nice to know a local who takes you to the coolest place, AKA, whole in the wall. Highly recommend this place for a taste of the beaten path.

I recommend getting your name on the waiting list early since the restaurant does not take reservations.

Rose clearly leads by example, the passion is infectious. We live in Seattle, but visit every time we are in town and every time it is better. I'd fly across the country just for a meal here.

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.
