Visited after 5 years and the experience was disappointing. The kebabs were dry; our waiter was in a rush about everything; and despite the third class service, he showed up with a “standard” 20% tip on the bill. This will be our last visit, in honor of the times when Me Jana was an experience we looked forward to every other week.

Having lived in the middle east all my life, I felt that the food was very average. While the restaurant is beautiful, and the service was great the food wasn't up to our liking and the Fattoush was the only dish we enjoyed.

Liked the atmosphere and the food a lot. Meze sets both cold and hot were great. Octopus was a bit chewy but not bad overall.

Ours was a double birthday dinner: we ordered the appetizers, and we were all pleased with them! We had an excellent Lebanese Rose wine as well. The noise level was moderate, and we could enjoy our conversation. The restaurant had thoughtfully given us a corner table, but near the kitchen and next to windows on two sides, which afforded a nice view. The wait staff served quietly and efficiently. Everyone commented on how they enjoyed the restaurant and what a good time they were having.

Food was really bad. The calamari were cold and full of garlic. The branzino was sour and again soaked in garlic. It used to be a great place.
