The photos on here look great, no doubt. The taste, however, left us feeling disappointed and like we were scammed. The food is not authentically Lebanese. We had the "menu à partager" for 45$. The first round tasted good with the pita and the hummus etc, but after that nothing else was tasty. I feel like more attention was put into making the food look visually appealing than the actual flavours, because the fried chicken on a waffle was just mediocre and bland, the Benedict eggs were boring and uninteresting, and the pancakes - which were what I was the most looking forward to because of the photos that were posted here - were dry, didn't have enough syrup for everyone, and just unimpressive. They tasted like eggs and there was no sauce, cream, syrup, or anything between each pancake to make it more flavourful, so the creme on top, the baklavas and the pistachios could not make up for the dryness. The whole meal was overly filling, greatly exaggerated, and if I had the choice I would've never ordered so much, (for quantity and for quality) but the course menu being forced upon us left me no choice. We had the terrace, which was not at all insulated, no walls to separate us from the outside. The waitresses feel VERY fake and overly friendly in a way that was unpleasant. It's obvious they are amping it up to squeeze the tips out of you. When they hand you the machine to make your payment, the default for tips is at 18% written in big, then if I remember correctly 20% and then higher. There is an option to do manual tips, but understandably, most people feel uncomfortable to go out of their way to tip lower, so this felt like an extorsion of the kindness of people. Overall disappointing, I will never come back.
