Review content:
Awful! On a Saturday night, we had no choice but to order the $50 prix fixe. When we called to ask about reservations, no one told us that there was no menu on Saturdays and that we had no choice but to receive this $50 ""entertainment package."" No one asked if we had any dietary restrictions. There was no wine list -- not even if you were willing to order a bottle -- only a choice between a glass of chardonnay or merlot (pronounced ""mer-LOTT"" by our hostess). \r

First there was the stale, cold, grocery store-bought pita bread, followed by a plate of greasy appetizers with ham and cheese slices. Then we got courses consisting of a three salty chicken wings with plain white rice, something that tasted like the inside of a chicken potpie (i.e., cream of mushroom soup with cheese and chicken bits), and some beef and pork kebab. (The beef kebab were salty but reasonably tasty.) Then, for dessert, a fruit plate consisting of mostly underripe melon and grapes that tasted like they hadn't been washed. It was like bad buffet food from some tacky Lebanese wedding. The waitress didn't even ask if we eat pork (we don't, but we didn't think to let her know, given that most of the Middle East doesn't eat pork either). Even though the restaurant was nearly empty, the service was so slow that it took over two hours before the check finally came, at last liberating us from an experience so awful that we burst into laughter once we got outside. \r

I only wish it hadn't been such a costly lesson. I guess it might be a reasonably fun time for the local Armenian-American crowd that seems to be its staple clientele, but hugely disappointing for anyone interested in good Lebanese food. Rarely have I been so disappointed in a dining experience. We could have had much better food for 1/2 to 1/3 of the price at any hole-in-the-wall Middle Eastern joint.
Pros: Parking
Cons: Food, service
