. "From the upscale outside look and decor you expect a quality dining experience, but that's not really what you get. The pricey Lebanese food (we shared 4 entrees) was okay but there is better elsewhere, and the bland tabouleh was disappointing. Food aside, 2 non-food deal breakers will keep us away.\n\nFirst, it doesn't operate in the customary sit-down way. You are seated, get fancy menus, see the appealing open concept kitchen, so of course expect a waiter to take the order. But no; it actually operates sort of like fast food. You're told to take the menu to a counter to order and pay like fast food. Staff then serves it, unlike fast food--lots of mixed signals. We didn't bother with dessert, coffee etc to avoid going through that nonsense again. It confuses tipping too, which we skipped as if in a fast food place. Table chat at dinner should not be about how weirdly the restaurant works. \n\nSecond, it's Halal, ergo no alcohol. We'd been out for hours on a hot day, looked forward to beer, had to settle for pop or water. This suits their mainly Muslim patrons (judging by dress) but as a courtesy to others there should be a sign at the door saying no alcohol, so they don't only find that out once seated, as we did."^^ .
