Impeccable service. Our fish took a bit long to arrive but they apologized several times without us even complaining, very thoughtful. The food is really good and the presentation is nice. They also serve dessert and fruits at the end and it is really good! I love the hot towel they give at the end. It is definitely a very very high end restaurant. Highly recommended for tourists. The only thing I did not like was the wara2 3enab as it wasn’t as tasteful as expected.

We were seated on a table by a heavily trafficked path of the restaurant. It was extremely inconvenient and loud being seated there as almost every passing staff member or guest had to come too close, almost touching our table. There should not be a table there. We ordered several mezzeh dishes and they weren disappointing. The vine leaves are average at best. Taboule was great.
Makdous 2/5. The raw fish platter was disappointing. Apart from the salmon which was fine, the rest did not taste fresh nor balanced. We ordered another fish (Shrimps Fatteh) which was good. The complimentary desserts, fruits and coffee were all delicious and a nice gesture. The price is on the high end and by far does not match neither the quality of what we got nor the atmosphere of the dining experience. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this restaurant.
