Another great experience at the Alhambra! Service was exactly what you would expect from a restaurant situated within the St. Regis, food was excellent, and my day was made better from this visit. Thanks to the team.

I am always quite satisfied with my experience at Lebanese Taverna. The food is excellent, the servers attentive. And the atmosphere is pleasant, not too loud, and attractive.

I had the most amazing experience yesterday. I felt as if I was a guest in someone’s home. Watching the way the employees interacted with one another, you could feel how much love was in the room and how much they all care about the food and the experience. 10/10. I went right after they opened so it was still pretty quiet. Great for a solo dinner. I’ve had Turkish food before but never have I had a meal that I felt like this. Truly a gem. Thank you so much ladies, I’ll be back soon.

The food, service and ambience at Sofra is top-notch and one can sit inside or outside. Clearly a benefit to the neighborhood.

Seems like a family owned place and the food was very authentic and tasty. The restaurant was crammed and kind of a hole in the wall, not doing justice to the beauty and taste of the food. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming and attentive. We absolutely loved our meal, which is best to eat in family style. Portions are large, so one entrée is good for at least two people. Definitely come visit this gem!

Three women friends split 4 mezza dishes -- fried cauliflower, beet salad, schwarma rolls, Camel wings -- and had a glass of wine. Great flavors, value, service. Lebanese Taverna has been around for many years and still delivers consistently delicious food and value. Thanks!!!
