The Ambiance:\r
White, sterile, and loud. There were a couple of posters of Beirut on the walls... i guess that's classy.

The service:

We started out waiting no less than 10 minutes for the waitress to visit our table. She then showed up and literally threw silverware down on the table, and acted like she was doing us a favor by taking our orders. Did you get the memo? It's your job to be friendly and serve us... Service was extremely slow, we didn't get all of the food that was supposed to come with our meals, and then we were overcharged by 30% on the bill. After asking for an itemized bill, we were still overcharged and had to total the bill ourselves. Furthermore the waitress was extremely rude, exclaiming ""Jesus Christ!!"" when we asked her to re-figure the bill. She was somewhat apologetic when she realized she messed up. Oh, and we never got napkins and nobody at the table got drink refills during the 1.5 hours we were there. I am a former waiter and leave a standard 25% tip, but seriously considered stiffing this waitress.

The food:

Well, the food was decent. Far from the best lebanese food I've had, but decent nonetheless. The falafel plate is tasty but doesn't come with anything... just falafel patties on a plate with some tahini and tomatoes. The Kababs were so-so; decently spiced and a bit chewy. The hummus is better than standard, but the tabbouleh lacked bulgur wheat and had unripe tomatoes. It seemed to be made in-house though.

Overall:

If you're desperate for some Lebanese food, get takeout here. It's not worth the pain of sitting in that sterile, hostile environment for 1.5 hours. And to be honest, the food is overpriced for what you get. I'd only go back for dinner if everything was $2 cheaper.
Pros: pretty good falafel and hummus (but don't eat it there...)
Cons: service, atmosphere, value
