    We eat here often. The food and the service are always top-notch. The menu selections and the prices are good. The staff is friendly and professional. When arrived the tables were half empty, but as the night progressed every table was occupied. This is a good sign. They always accommodate their patrons. The wine list is great and the prices are good. I was a little disappointed with my salmon last night. The portion was smaller than usual. I know they usually have larger portions, so what happened to mine? I think it was half the size. I will always recommend this restaurant. It is family owned and they work very hard to satisfy the customers.

    My second time at Aleppo's and it did not disappoint. All the dips and apps were delicious and my lamb dish came out perfectly falling off the bone. Everyone else seemed to enjoy the myriad of dishes that were ordered. The fish does take a couple extra minutes so put that in during the apps if you are interested. The service was friendly and helpful rotating around the different tables when needed. There were a couple other large parties at the same time along with usual smaller diners but still was easy enough to have a nice conversation.
