If you like Khabouth you will like Byblos. Expect the same beautiful interior, professional service, high end bar and hit and miss food as you get with other others but this one has an Eastern European spin.
The Cheese Acharuli (Georgian bread) was worth it at $9.
The squid ($13) was decent if you don't mind the intense garlic flavour of toum although I wish the squid was a little more present instead of being so thinly sliced and covered in copious amounts of breading.
I found the eggplant kibbeh overpriced at $14. You get two small pieces of moderately spiced eggplant covered in chickpea batter with a dipping sauce.
I always enjoy spins on classic cocktails and the date old fashioned was no exception. Served with the signature big ass ice cube, it was a little sweet but an interesting twist.
All in all, not bad.
