This Spot’s Ambiance Steals the Show – City Views + Vibe = 10/10 🌃

Let me start by gushing about the ambiance—it’s next-level! The second you walk in, your eyes lock onto a stunning city view that feels like a postcard come to life 📸. The restaurant has that perfect dim lighting (not too dark, just cozy!) and a lively, energetic vibe that makes you instantly feel upbeat. Our table wasn’t ready when we arrived, so they seated us at the bar first—and honestly? It was a happy accident! We fell in love with the bar area’s chill energy, and our bartender Joe? Total MVP 🥇. He was super cool, chatted with us like old friends, and whipped up the most amazing cocktails. By the time our table was free, we didn’t even hesitate—we asked to stay at the bar for dinner. Best call ever! Let’s Talk Food – Hits & A Few Misses 🍴 First up, the Caviar Flight ($148) 🥂. The caviar itself was delicious—rich, briny, and totally luxurious—but the crispy pita that came with it? Major letdown. It was way too hard, like trying to bite into a cracker that had been left out overnight 😬. Such a bummer, because good pita would’ve made this dish chef’s kiss. On the win side: The Lebanese Garlic Dip 🥬 was creamy, garlicky perfection (dipped in soft bread? Chef’s kiss), and the Shawarma Lamb Ribs 🍖? So flavorful! The meat was tender, packed with those iconic shawarma spices, and had just the right amount of char. The Seafood Paella 🍤 was also a solid hit—saffron-infused rice, plump shrimp, and fresh seafood that tasted like it was just caught. The only other miss? The Matzo Ball Soup Dumplings 🥟. The filling was okay, but the wrapping was way too thick—like biting into a doughy cloud that overpowered the soup inside. We took a few bites and called it quits on that one. Cocktails: The Real Stars of the Night 🍹 Let’s be real—we’re still thinking about the cocktails! Our top two faves? The Pineapple Cucumber Collins 🍍🥒 and the Dirty Gin Martini 🥃. The Collins was bright, refreshing, and had the perfect balance of sweet pineapple and crisp cucumber—ideal for sipping while watching the city. The Dirty Martini was silky smooth, with just the right amount of olive brine (not too salty, not too weak). Heads up about the Sangria 🍷: It’s premade, so it’s not as fresh or customizable as the other drinks. It was okay—fruity, but nothing to write home about. Stick to the hand-muddled stuff if you want to be wowed! #CityViewDining #CocktailLovers #FoodieAdventures #BarDiningVibes #RestaurantHitsAndMisses
