"Definitely take the advice of others about making a reservation in advance we got there at 6:15 6:30 on a Saturday night and they were booked through 9:00. The house manager was nice enough to seat us on the patio at a table that was reserved at 7:30 if we agreed to be done by then. We appreciated that everything gluten free is clearly labeled on the menu. They even served a nice toasted gluten free bread in place of the house bread (which looked incredible). For our party of three we opted to share several smaller plates: Stuffed dates with goat cheese, pastrami, spinach, and walnuts the favorite for all of us; four per order so the next time we go we'll order enough for everyone to eat at least two. Beet salad with watermelon and feta cheese excellent. Fried cauliflower in a spicy sauce my daughter and I thought this might be the second best thing we had. Halloumi cheese fried and served with roasted pepper, walnut, and pomegranate molasses great. Shishito peppers good. Cheese and meat platter good but this is the thing we all agreed we would not get next time so we could try something else. We were all stuffed at the end so we might have ordered one too many things. Great, friendly service; it was lovely on the patio after the sun went down; and the place had a great vibe from all the people happily eating yummy food. We will certainly be back!"

"So, just to clarify, my experience is mainly focused on the food and bar service. I know people often prioritize the ambiance, hookah, and such here. Anyway, I decided to relax and pass some time before heading to a movie, and the place met my expectations. It was a relatively quiet night, so the service was excellent—your experience might differ, though! I sat at the bar, and as soon as I ordered a Guinness, it was served right away. Feeling good, I started to browse the menu. I noticed they had a basket of za'atar bread as an appetizer. I asked for it, but the server informed me that if I ordered another appetizer, I would get the bread included as well. I quickly scanned the menu and decided on the spicy dipping sauce. After my server took my order, I found myself distracted by my phone. A few minutes later, they brought out a basket of bread along with lots of spicy dipping sauce. I was excited to dig in, but then I was asked if I needed anything else. I looked at the menu again, pointed to a rice dish, and asked for the lamb rice plate. I handed over the menu and started enjoying the za'atar bread, dipping each piece in the sauce. About ten minutes later, my server returned with some large wooden containers filled with a salad, rice, and lamb, topped with plenty of veggies and spices. The dish was good, but there was something about it that felt like it was missing that extra touch for me. I liked the atmosphere of the place—it had a cool vibe, the food was solid, and I could easily see myself coming back with a group, enjoying the music, and sharing a hookah. Definitely worth another visit!"
