    Celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a great night of entertainment, food and service. We were expecting dueling piano players but instead entertained with a fantastic singer who sang nonstop for the entire time. His repertoire included oldies that was enjoyed by all and even included our wedding song. Dancing and requests were encouraged and enjoyed by all. Staff was friendly and went out of their way for an enjoyable night. Thank you all! We had a great evening.

    I didn’t expect the menu to be a Christmas menu. I don’t know why, but I didn’t. I expected to be watering off the original menu The ambience in the atmosphere in there was fine. The table seemed a little too close. For Christmas, I found the prices, challenging and high The musical entertainment wasn’t expected for a restaurant setting during Christmas. The music was loud. He pounded the keys on the keyboard. The music was not conducive to an Italian restaurant. I’ve been to the restaurant before. I have always enjoyed the food and I would go back.

    The food, service and ambiance were fabulous. We had the baba ganouj, lamb tagine, and mixed grill. I had a flight of Lebanese red wines and my husband had the Arabian Nights cocktail. Everything was perfect! We will definitely be back.

    We went for happy hour and sat at the bar. Rene was our server / bartender. He mixed up delicious cocktails. We had the spicy tequila drink & the espresso martini. Both were delicious. They have a list of appetizers included in the HH special menu. The estofado was so tender and delicious and crispy eggplant had a nice flavor. We also enjoyed the patatas bravas and bacalao croquetas. Dessert was the main event. We love the cheesecake serves with ice cream and honey. Sooooooo delicious. We shared it but should have each gotten our own. There was a musician playing and flamenco dancer dancing. All in all, we had a fantastic time and will definitely be back!
