    We drove an hour from Odessa, Florida, and enjoyed our food. There’s Lebanese in the family so I feel we’re good judges of authentic food. We will return.

    We walked in and there were four other tables that we’re eating and have plenty of time just at the menu well, no one came to the host station. I thought the neighborhood was a little scary for lack of better words.. We ended up eating somewhere else, so I’m not really sure how the food is.

    3.5, probably will return - this was my rating in 2021, and I forgot to post. It was a rainy day, and we came in from the back. Today, it's a sunny Friday evening. Everything looks bright and lovely. I was wondering why everything seems familiar, especially the bar and lockers by the front desk. We ordered four appetizers / small plates: Eggplant Falafel Calamari: is flat Burrata All are good, with pretty large portions. If I remember correctly, their eggplant is the most shapely, and the red sauce is kind of the first too. However, I don't care for the dark, sweet sauce. The raw walnuts taste raw. I like the falafel the most, especially the pinky pickled turnip (?) — please correct me if I'm wrong. … so the old me left my cc there. They’ll send back to me on Monday - thanks K!
