If you enjoy food that looks beautiful, tastes exquisite, smells wonderful, makes people feel good, as well as brings people together-then you will treasure this dining experience. My husband and I left the restaurant completely full after enjoying Beirut's Ameer combination dinner (Falafel, chicken kabob, and lamb with bread and tubule salad, mezza (a generous sample of numerous signature dishes). We also tried the kibee (beef with lamb served raw) and sampled the baklava and enjoyed some nice strong Lebanese coffee. I was floored by the quality of the meals. ABSOLUTELY delicious. We will definitely return and next time we'll bring our kids. We loved the belly dancing and live music. I was very impressed with the feature dancer who was so beautiful and talented. She engaged the audience and really invited everyone to share her dancing. We also loved the in-house band. WOW! The lead singer (John) really has a great voice-makes me wish I spoke Arabic so I could understand what he was singing about! My one criticism? Stay away from too many Araks (it's an alcoholic beverage popular as Lebanon's #1 cocktail) whew! I love the taste of black licorice but after a few sips my head was spinning.
Pros: Top notch food, friendly service, beautiful dancing and live music
Cons: Large groups have an automatic gratuity. Mixed drinks and beer from the bar's a little pricey.
