   Read moreWe went for dinner on a Thursday, made reservations for four and indicated that we're celebrating a special birthday. The restaurant was pretty much empty. While we were waiting for one person from our party to arrive, two servers were approaching our table every 2-3 minutes asking if we would like to order our drinks and appetizers. Even though we told them multiple times we were not ready and would like to wait for our guest. A friend ordered Smokey(Whiskey) and was terribly dis appointed. Even though he told the server that it did not taste smokey and the drink felt very weak. The server did nothing. Completely ignored his disappointment. My friend ordered another round of Smokey and miraculously, this time the smokey was made the right way. Tasted completely different then the first one. He made that comment to the server again that this drink is right. Yet no reaction. After we ordered our main entrees' the second server came and said " I will get family style". We confirmed with the previous server we ordered with, that we did not want a lot of food, as we did not want it to go waste. Sure enough they brought family style even though we ordered from the regular menu. Needless, to say we paid for the food we did not order nor did we eat. Food was mediocre. Nothing spectacular.
After dinner I mentioned to the server again that we were celebrating a special birthday. Again, No reaction. We ordered our deserts and paid the bill and left. Any other decent restaurant would have taken the charge off for the first Smokey which was a disappointment. They also would have done something for their guest's special birthday. Whatever happened to the "Middle Eastern" hospitality?!?! I will not visit this restaurant again nor will I recommend it to my...
