    Firstly, I would like to thank the staff at Thai District for working on Christmas Day. As this was the case, I went online and made reservations as didn’t want to take a chance of just walking-in. It was very busy and ended up waiting over an hour (we were 20 minutes early when we checked in for our reservation). We have been here numerous times before, so the wait was definitely due to the holiday crowd. At one point the hostess announced if you didn’t have reservations, the wait would definitely be well over an hour. The apologized a great deal and appreciated everyone’s patience and understanding. When we were finally seated, the hostess advised that food preparation may also take longer than usual. We did not find this to be the case, our food did not take any longer than usual. The food was prepared consistently to the standard we have had in our previous visits. Delicious and tasty! The staff was pleasantly and attentive. My boyfriend and I love Thai District and is our main “go to” for Thai food. Highly recommend and should make reservations in advance. Enjoy!

    I took my husband and kids out to celebrate Christmas Eve and possibly start a new family tradition. It’s such a beautiful restaurant and hotel. We were greeted by several friendly people at the front door. Our server, Shelly was excellent. It’s not as casual as it is described on the website but that was okay with me. However, it was more expensive than I expected. I read somewhere that valet parking is free for 4 hours but that is not true, perhaps it’s the garage parking that is free. Overall, I thought Nettuno was excellent and I look forward to visiting again.

    I have been dining at Teleferic at multiple locations for years. This was my first visit to the LB location. It was an excellent experience from the beginning to the end. Our server, Gonzalo, was excellent. He made sure we ordered enough portions so that everyone had a chance to try all the dishes we ordered. Definitely will return to the LB location in the future.

    This is the third time I've eaten here in the last few months and it was outstanding, as usual! While we didn't love where they seated us (even though we had made reservations over a month in advance - but now I know what to ask for in the reservation), the food and service were great. The roasted beet hummus, muttabal and fresh-from- the-oven pitas were probably our favorites, but everything was great. Last time I came here, I ordered the roasted beets salad with grilled salmon (also amazing). We also tried two desserts, the knafeh and osmalieh ice cream, both were excellent...and they went great together! I'm looking forward to my next visit!
