What a wonderful dining experience! Went on a Saturday evening. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and fresh! Will definitely return and bring friends with me. I had the warm hummus special (with ground lamb on top), the owner sent me the lamb sausage, the grilled branzino, and the dessert was on the house. Do yourself a favor and go!

We had dinner at Bacchus of Lebanon today, and it was truly an amazing experience. I usually don’t like lamb because of its smell and never order it, but the lamb here was absolutely incredible—no smell at all, perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. I genuinely loved it. They served complimentary cold appetizers, all fresh and delicious. The main dishes were warm, well-seasoned, and very satisfying. Everything tasted fantastic. What impressed me the most was the staff. The staff is absolutely wonderful! They were extremely kind, attentive, and friendly—truly exceptional. The service was fast and they made us feel very comfortable. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for both friends and family Overall, we were extremely satisfied with everything. We’ll definitely come back.

I loved my experience here and I was so surprised it was relatively empty on a Friday night. My brothers fiance kicked off her bachelorette weekend here with a party of maybe 16-18 people and a three course family style meal. The service was AMAZING. Everyone was super kind and friendly and quick to remove our plates, refill our waters and make sure we were good. At the end they kindly took a group picture of us. We had a lot of dietary restrictions and they made sure to coordinate who can eat what dishes. On Friday and Saturday nights there are belly dancer performances and wow our performer was so beautiful, talented and fun. I would definitely come back and I would love to try different Lebanese dishes. Thank you for having us!

This was my second time visiting this restaurant, and once again the food was phenomenal! My go‑to dish is the chicken kebab. However, this time I found pieces of bamboo left inside the meat. I only noticed it after bringing the food home and reheating it—there were small fragments stuck in pieces of the meat, likely from when the skewer was removed. Lucky I didn’t chew on any pieces. Just a heads‑up to use a bit of caution when eating the kebabs here. Probably would better if the restaurant switches to steel skewers.

Service was pretty good. Food was ok. Unfortunately, my girlfriend spotted a rat scurrying across the floor, which made us figure we likely won’t come back.
