  • Food wise, they're doing a decent job here. It doesn't feel like a classically trained Middle Eastern chef doing fusion, it feels like a classically trained caucasian chef doing Middle Eastern fusion food. The result in my opinion is a playful and creative menu, but the dishes often stray too far from their original concept or have a severe balance issue - heavy handed on spices, too much sweetness, bitter finishes, and so on. There are certainly some standout dishes, but the experience is really soured by poor service, that just doesn't match the price point, and seems to be getting much worse with time. For the few times i've been here since 2016, I've been disappointed by arrogant servers, poor timing, lack of simple service expectations like clearing plates and glasses, topping up wine, etc. The style of service is also rather rushed, with dishes appearing whenever they're ready, with little thought given to what's already on the table, or what needs to be paired, etc. Overall, I'm done with Byblos. I give them kudos for their creativity but the food needs work and service will keep me away. There is however, so much potential here. It's of no surprise to me that the restaurant didn't make it either in a Middle Eastern market (in Dubai), shutting it's door in under a year after open (in Dubai Byblos was called Morah due to a trademark issue). Further demonstrating the issue of a fusion first approach.
