Five of us came here for an early dinner, and split a few of the dishes. Everything was absolutely fantastic, the Lebanese trio was great to start with (their pita bread is so light and fluffy it's like eating a slightly yeasted cloud) and the Mijana Mezza combination afterwards showed off a number of their small hot dishes. Then came out Greek pizza (just be careful because the olives aren't pitted!) and our Magnum Mijana Mixed Grill for 2. All of that was MORE than enough food for five people to share with plenty left over for lunch the next day, but we had to end with dessert, so we got some Turkish coffee and a dish whose name I can't remember- flaky philo strips over cheese with ground pistachios and a light syrup- it was pure heaven. The service was fantastic- we never went for more than a few minutes without our water being filled or an attentive person coming by just to check on us. Everyone was really nice and very pleasant.

We came here to have a dinner on a Saturday night. When we walked into the restaurant around 7:45 pm, only a few tables were occupied. We were debating between leaving and giving it a chance. The restaurant was about to have a live belly dance show and I wanted to see it. Seems like they offer the show every Friday and Saturday night. The dance show was great. She danced 4 or 5 songs. Different experience to see live while having dinner. My partner and I both tried Arak to drink. Because we never tried any of them, we asked the server's opinion. He pointed out the most popular 2 Arak choices. So, my husband got Batroun and I got Massya. I found Massya smoother to drink, and Batroun had a stronger flavor, especially for the aftertaste. At least, I now know what Arak I like :) We got Kibbe for the appetizer and Quails for the main dish to share. Kibbe was alright. The stuffing was dry. I didn't enjoy it that much. The dipping sauce was good though. Quail was my choice to try. I was going to have it for myself only, but then we changed our minds to share it. I am glad we shared because the portion was big for me; I wouldn't finish it by myself. Quails plate came with 2 perfectly cooked quails, salad, french fries, and rice. I enjoyed everything about the plate. Quails had lots of small bones. So, be ready to use your fingers lol Our server was nice. He checked us multiple times and asked about our opinions about the food and drink. Also, the manager (or the owner) checked the tables if everything was going well. We didn't stay until the live music, I think it was gonna start at 10 or so pm. Our server said the restaurant gets more crowded during the live music. Well, it would be nice to see it when more people are there.

We attended a cooking class. The size of the class was not ideal but Vivian did an amazing job. The crowd was engaged and fun w good questions. Appreciated the cooking tips. The owner of the restaurant educated on the country of Lebanese. Very interesting. Parking easy with personal lot. Looking forward to trying the restaurant. Hummus, tabouli and baba ghannouj were excellent.
