| - If you haven't gone to Assembly Chef Hall, go! I'm definitely coming back to try more. The place itself is very trendy, spacious and classy (but $$$) with a casual ambiance. *Cash option is not available*
Most vendors show a display of the items they offer and it was very hard to choose between all of them. Everything looked delicious. There is a lot of variety and if you don't know what to eat, love trying new things or you have a group of friends, this is the place to go. (Note: If you download the Assembly Chef's Hall App, you get a free drink coupon ! It says free coffee but some places allow you to order any drink as long as it is within $5 but they also allow you to pay the difference). I got a quality matcha latte from Tokyo Smoke.
I was quite disappointed when I found out that Bluenose Lobster was out of stock on some of their items... but I found Reyna instead where a very nice lady explained the menu to me and recommended the daily special ($16.99) that featured their top three menu items:
-Lamb Shank Baklava- kataifi, lamb shank, saffron & burnt honey aioli This was amazingly delicious and the shank melted in my mouth. The honey aioli accented it perfectly. This was my favorite out of the three and I would probably get this on its own again.
-Lebanese Tacos- housemade flatbreads, reyna-spiced chicken (they allowed me to sub it with their brisket instead- I think I should've stuck with the chicken though because it was a bit dry without the sauce that the chicken would have came with), garlic mayo, lebanese pickles, cherry tomato salsa, crispy onions
-The Reyna Salad was loaded with ingredients: beet, cucumber, avocado, fennel, radish, tomato, quinoa, purple kale, fried chickpeas, crispy shallot, serrano tahini dressing. Very refreshing, colorful and a lot of flavors. I only wished for more chickpeas.
Overall, each item was a smaller portion of their original but it was a great way to try their different dishes.
Side note: A lot of my friends highly recommend the burger from Boemo.
