    Mamon Zari absolutely exceeded our expectations! I went there with two friends, and we had the tasting menu with the wine tasting. Not only was everything delicious, it was beautifully executed. The wines included varieties from Austria, South Africa, Germany, Georgia, Lebanon and Oregon. All were delicious and paired well with the savory course. In addition, I have a severe nut allergy and it was gracefully accommodated. I did let them know ahead of time through OpenTable. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant for a very special meal .
