Service was very good and food was delicious. My wife and I enjoyed our meal and will visit again or order in if we ever want some great Lebanese food. Tabouleh was especially good and all meats were seasoned and grilled very well. We went on a very cold night but heating inside was very good. Only downside for us was the ambience as it all looked a little too red, but that was personal preference. Still a great dining experience.
