Lebanon's Cafe — Restaurant in New Orleans

The waitress seemed to completely misunderstand my order. Which it was fine, I’ve worked in the food industry and understand things like that happen. But the attitude of the employees completely changed when I addressed it. I ordered vegetable stuffed grape leaves and a kabob. I even pointed to the menu to make sure I was understood. I didn’t get my appetizer and I was served a completely different meal. I took a bite thinking that since I’m not familiar with Lebanese food I misunderstood what I ordered. But after 2 bites I confirmed it didn’t have lamb so it must have been a mistake. I finally received my appetizer though it was beef and not vegetable stuffed grape leaves but I figured it wasn’t a big deal and I did eventually get what I ordered. However when the bill came they expected me to pay for the mistake order as well as my original order. When I asked if it could be taken off I was told “we’ll you ate it didn’t you?” I was confused because they never took the mistake order back and I only had two bites to see if maybe I was at fault and ordered something I wasn’t expecting. They were very rude about the whole thing despite my effort to see it as a usual mistake that happens at restaurants. My friend even tried to remedy the situation by saying the food was great and hoping everyone a good day, which was just met with glares. The food was good but I was very confused why I was treated so poorly over something I didn’t even personally think...

I would love to give this 5 stars because our server, food and atmosphere was amazing and worth a second shot. We arrived with our friend, who lives in NOLA and frequents Lebanon’s. We ordered at 9:20pm and were done eating and paid by 10:00pm. There were 3 other tables still with guests outside. Then a lady came around and told us they were closing now, which was fine. I walked towards the front door and said I needed to go in to use the restroom and a young girl with pink hair said No, I told her I really needed to use the restroom and that we just finished eating and paid. She then told me that I couldn’t use the restroom because they have already cleaned the restrooms. I feel as a customer of any restaurant I should be allowed to use the restroom after eating. I felt disrespected and confused after spending over $75. at this restaurant. I am just a visitor to NOLA and take pride in spending my time and money eating at restaurants that aren’t on the main drag. In all my 60 years, 40 of which I have traveled the world, I have never been treated so shamefully. I do hope that the owners of this restaurant will deal with this situation so it doesn’t become a regular problem with...
