"When Memories Fade, Can One Ever Really Return Home?"

-Floyd Skloot

Firstly, I would like to begin by apologizing for my extended absence from the platform. The last several months have been mentally, physically, emotionally, and spirituality unforgiving. As many of you may already know, the now well documented issue that has plagued the lives of my closest friends and family (that you all already know thus no need to open wounds that have not yet closed) has been addressed and dealt with appropriately. I would love nothing more but to chat with my fans regarding where I currently am in life as that is what the people truly deserve, however it will have to wait for there are more pressing matters that must be taken care of now. What you must know however, is that there was no way I was going to get better mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually in the same place that was making me sick. Of course, to my enduring fans, thank you, it is your patience and persistence that sought my return- home.

Onto the cuisine, mid, small quantity, too pricey, water bottles that YOU ordered are practically placed at other customers tables in order for the waiters to pour you water themselves because you're far too incapable of doing so yourself, pretty sure the chicken was raw at some point, outdoor view is beautiful, Arabic music blasting like any arabic restaurant but at least the people talking on your table are still audible, and way way...

One of the so-called "fancy" Arabic restaurants in Lebanon. Unfortunately, those are the worst types of restaurants.

The view from the restaurant is absolutely outstanding. However, if you're looking to get an actual meal to fill yourself up for a reasonable price, this is not the place. Expect to pay anywhere between $50-$100 per person here.

Referencing my previous point, this restaurant attempts to "fancify" itself by inflating the prices and having the servers stick by your table the entire time. To the point that they won't even let you refill your glass of water on your own. For example, we ordered a bottle of water (they brought a local plastic bottle that they wildly overpriced) and placed it on the other side of a 12-top (even though we were 5 people) at the furthest point away from us so that they could fill it up when our cups were empty. A huge red flag in my books; doesn't feel homely at all.

The strangest part about the entire ordeal was that they placed our non-smoking table directly adjacent to a group of Shisha smokers (a table of 5 that had 3-4 shishas on their table) although the restaurant was massive and almost empty. I can't handle smoke and I despise any Restaurant that allows smokers around non-smokers. Completely unacceptable.

All in all, the food was reasonably good but awfully overpriced. The service was overwhelming in a negative way. The smoke destroyed...

the reason for this star is the attitude and nothing have to do with the food. we came last week around 5 pm we were two persons and the place was almost empty few tables were taken on the valley side and the rest were not occupied. we asked to be seated by the valley to enjoy the view and have early dinner. we first were received and given table 39, that is on the side . we accepted. but then a second later someone walks our way amd said i need to prepare a large table for the dinner later for the evening and that we are not allowed to sit by the valley side. we explained that we wont stay long its just a matter of an hour and we will go. the person said no you cannot sit on this side. we apologized and said we came for the calm and the view then he replied that we can't take the table. we left and we went to another place few meters away and we got a table with a valley view.i didnt appreciate the attitude at all specially that the table was going to be free after one hour and they had several other places empty and it was still not dinner time. again this has nothing to do with the food just the attitude of the person who...
