I went to Bygone for my birthday and I loved it. I will definitely be back. I had the chicken breast, mac and cheese, puree mash potatoes, & the Bygone Buck for a drink ( Moscow mule ). Everything was 10/10 and our waiter was amazing. His drink and menu recommendations were spot on. I believe his name was KC ( not 100% sure ). The restaurant is also BEAUTIFUL and amazing for pictures. I will be back for sure ❤️.

This is the 3rd time I’ve dined at Ammoora and I was not disappointed. Dining here is an amazing experience from the time you enter the restaurant and are greeted by the hostess. There were three of us and we ordered multiple appetizers, main courses and desserts. The starters included an order of hummus and warm pita bread. I have it’s the best hummus I’ve ever eaten. All the main courses were amazing. The most amazing was the fall of the bone short rib. I had the kofta kebabs I highly recommend. Our server was exceptional. Gigi was very professional and was extremely helpful explaining the menu. If you have a chance and want to try Syrian cuisine, look no further than Ammoora.

An outstanding meal from start to finish! We began with the mezze spreads and perfectly crisp zucchini chips. For sides, the lemon potatoes, rice, and Gigante beans were simply delightful. The Dorado and mussels were seasoned to perfection, bursting with flavor. To top it all off, the homemade Greek desserts were absolutely divine. Service was impeccable—bravo!
