It’s a lovely upscale atmosphere great inside, while still feeling family run and intimate. All our food was very fresh with a beautiful presentation. Drinks were thoughtfully prepared, the food was delicious, with nice portions and the timing of the meal was fluid without feeling rushed. In addition, the live music was delightful.

The Walid's combo plate had delicious dips/spreads. However, it had only one piece of pita... not enough to soak up the dips. We had to order two more, making the appetizer of dips and bread about $22. Meh. Also, the menu lists bulgar as the first ingredient of the tabbouleh- which signifies that it is the main ingredient. We got a pile of parsley and onions. Fine if that is what they want to serve, just don't lie about it on the menu. The server didn't offer to return it when we mentioned it, stating that the menu had an error on it. If we didn't have a coupon, I would have refused to pay for it, as it was not what I ordered. This place has great flavors (dips), and a fine atmosphere. Lacking in execution and value. It was not a terrible experience, but I would not return.

This restaurant is consistently superb. Only one customer service comment: We asked for a recommendation for a good, dry, white wine and were pitched a Lebanese wine that was excellent. We went into shock when we got the bill, because the wine was $15 per glass. (I have never, ever spent $15 on one glass of wine.) We mentioned to the server that he needed to let customers know the price per glass of wines that he recommends. He mentioned that the price per glass was in the wine menu and I reminded him that we asked him for a recommendation and took him at his word. He removed the price of one glass from our bill and we tipped generously -- $10 on a $43 pre-tax, pre-coupon discount bill. We will go back again but will be wary of the wine prices.
