  • It's an annual thing, visiting Byblos for Susanna A's birthday gathering, and for this, the 4th or 5th time, another quality dining experience. Over the years I've sampled from the gyro platter, the keufta khachkach, schwarmas, and roast chicken, on up to last night's "Mediterranean Chicken", a pleasing chicken in sauce, for me spread over a bed of soft, perfectly cooked rice, accompanied by a cup of satisfyingly homemade tasting tomato soup: $11.95 +$2 iced tea, tax & tip and out for well under $20. Dining area is pleasant, fairly large, has both booths and tables not too close together. Comfortable and uncramped, middle eastern music playing softly in the background. White tablecloths and cloth napkins add a nice touch. The older gentleman took our orders, his bad knees forcing him to sit while he did so, but just made for more homey experience as he engaged in brief light conversation, gently encouraging "the lamb", but which tonight we all shied away from in favor of less expensive fare. Other staff delivered our plates, filled and refilled our water and tea glasses. Our party of 6 was well-served and glasses never had a chance to be dry for more than a few seconds if at all. Several of us shared a bite of Susanna's chocolate cake, met all hopes and expectations, qualifying as "scrumptious" all around. I've had their baklava in the past and it too was not disappointing, a moist honey-drenched delight as opposed to the petrified dehydrated shredded wheat like offering you'll occasionally find elsewhere if not fresh. The restrooms are towards the back of the dining room through the swinging double-doors, ladies to the left, men to the right. The men's room is attractive but nothing "fancy". It was and has always been on my visits, clean. It's of decent size and un-cramped, with one stall, one urinal, sink and mirror, and a new automatic paper towel dispenser. All in all another very pleasant dining experience I'd encourage anyone to try. Though much of the menu is closer to $20 than my satisfying Med Chicken, barring too many extra drinks, I think you'd be hard-pressed to make the tab exceed $30 a person, and I believe you will be satisfied with the quality of the fare for your funds. It's a family business with sister as chef, and brother out front. Belly dancing by neither on Saturday nights.
