Lebanese Taverna is one of our favorites over many years. We enjoy the food and the attentiveness of the wait staff. The Valentine's Day special was superb. Nice selection, far more than we could eat, so we can enjoy again at home. We suggest that on a weekend (Fri-Sun) making a reservation for an earlier time (like 6PM).

Awesome, Awesome experience. I saw a review of this lounge on Instagram and I am super happy that I decided to check it out. The staff was super nice and helpful. This was first experience with hookah so I had no idea what I should order. However, my waitress explained everything with great patience. There was a young man who came around to refresh the hookah so I didn't have to worry about that. The food was delicious. I honestly can't wait to go back!
