| - THIS IS THE BEST.
I've gone here multiple times since opening, returning with new friends who in turn come back with their own set of colleagues.
The portions are small and costly, but you'll crave the flavors, and will sure enough be handing your coat to the lovely ladies at the front door a week later...
Food:
DELICIOUS. I keep coming back for the Labneh. The sweet honey with the tart cheese is addictive and a must have. It's accompanied with fresh warm bread hinting at salty to excite an entire palate of flavors.
The Cheese Acharuli; GET IT. It's a bread boat of cheese and spices and is a safe treat for your picky eater friends.
Grilled Cod; This is my favorite protein of the menu. It's so soft and delicate, but catches you with a closing heat. It's a must try, and will become a staple in your future visits.
Duck Kibbeh; Don't be shy in dousing the sauce it sits in, over it. The homemade molasses is what dreams are made of.
Steak Tartare & Turkish Dumplings: Meh. The dumplings had great flavor but tasted almost exactly like the crispy egglant. Go with the eggplant dish instead and get your smokey and savory fix there. The tartare was heavy with the bread, since a lot of the plates are served with bread. A lighter and crispier carb would go better with it to break up the textures.
Dessert:
Ice Cream: GET IT. GET IT ALL. We ordered multiple flavors, each person taking a liking to a specific bowl, concluding our plate sharing down to our favorites. Each flavor was so potent and strong and multifaceted, it took your days of summer ice cream treats to a whole new adult level.
The Toasted Honey was so unique and varied in it's flavor, it appealed to everyone at our table. The Rose-Blood Orange scared off many of the men who likened it to their mothers scented oils and potpourri. To others, it was the best flavor of the night --closing off the rose and lavender cocktails had at the beginning of the evening.
The dessert menu seems to keep changing. I've had a few of the filo accompanied desserts, and been disappointed. Stick with the ice cream.
Service:
You don't realize what excellent service is, until you've been served here. While some of the ingredients and preparation were spoken as if being memorized from a list off a cue card, the staff was still courteous and attentive to our wants and matching palates to the right cocktail/plate. They're building relationships with the guests and making everyone at the table get excited about what they're eating. It's a nice feeling when you hand over your dollars to someone you like, and was memorable, regardless of the quality of food.
Booking the reso is cumbersome. I think it's contracted to a 3rd party company, who seems to have a disconnect of what's going on.
