The food was very good. People are nice. THERE MARTINI ARE "THE BEST" EVER!
It is nice. You can call and reserve your table. I recommend a table in the lounge. It is not overly loud. and on the weekends it is nice to her the piano.
I went for lunch today and decided to try the Syrian Platter which consisted of hummos, tabouli, and baba ganoosh. It seems that other than the standard gyro sandwich and the kebobs, there is not much else on the menu that would identify it as Syrian.
Honestly, I was expecting more. All of the products brought out to me tasted bland, although I don't know that more seasoning would've necessarily saved the dishes. They were decent offerings, and although the portion size was fairly large, it doesn't matter if the product is so-so.
One thing in particular that I was disappointed about was the pita bread. It had the same slightly stale quality that I can get in any supermarket. At least grilling (or warming in general) the pita first would've given it some character. If they aren't going to make their own on the premises, then they need to find a local baker to do it for them.
The baklava, however, was quite good.
I'm Lebanese and have been to middle eastern rest. all over Ohio. This is by far the best. I thought my Sito (grandmother) was cooking in the kitchen.
