Second time here and can’t say enough good things. I’ve come for dinner and brunch. I prefer the brunch menu to dinner, but the service, food and ambiance were great both times.

Everything was excellent! We sampled a bunch of mezze (including the tabuleh and the babganouj, which were the best we’ve ever had, and a few others) and then shared the lamb. So delicious! And our server was wonderful.
