My best friend wanted to take me to Phoenician Taverna for the longest time. She raves about this…read moreplace and been coming here for years. Finally she made reservations for Saturday evening (it is recommended because they get super busy). We got there and was greeted by the owner. BTW, was very down to earth. So their menu looked good (Lebanese food). There is so much to choose from and hard to decide. I especially loved their drink menu, especially wines. We ended up ordering: Appetizers: Baba ghannouge M'hammara Taverna falafel Dinner: Shawarma chicken Kebab mixed grill Drinks: Chateau kefraya, Les Bretches Almaza Pilsner My favorite from the appetizers is the eggplant and falafel! Super fresh and the bread that came with it was so good. Even the dipping sauce was amazing. My Shawarma chicken was super delish. You have to put the garlic butter on the rice! It gives it great flavor. My Mr enjoyed his meal as well. We definitely had to get a to go box because there was so much food. But we will look forward the next day to eat it. Overall, the service was great and I loved the experience. We can see ourselves coming back for more! I can see why my best friend loves it here! Highly recommend you try it.

A couple very close friends of ours recommended we try this spot with them and we're definitely…read moreglad we did. The food was fantastic, the service was awesome, and the atmosphere was very laid back. We even met the owner who was immensely friendly and welcoming. We went for dinner on a Saturday evening. For weekends, reservations are strongly recommended because they get busy FAST. They're only open for dinner hours too. Their menu is pretty big with a plethora of options to choose from including lots of appetizers, flatbreads, shawarmas, kebabs, falafel, and lots of tasty desserts. Their libations menu was very nice too, with numerous options for beer, wine, and spirits. (Try the Almaza for a crisp and tasty Pilsner) all at great prices. Here's what we had: Appetizers: Baba ghannouge M'hammara Taverna falafel Dinner: Shawarma chicken Kebab mixed grill Drinks: Chateau kefraya, Les Bretches red wine blend Almaza Pilsner Hoegaarden Belgian wit bier They also give you unlimited fresh pita bread with a delicious dipping sauce. Everything was incredible and cooked to perfection. We'll definitely be coming back here again. Unfortunately, this time, we had no room for dessert, but maybe next time.

Stopped into this Japanese vibe restaurant for Sushi and Hibachi. This is a buffet with some of the…read moretraditional prepared foods along with a Hibachi bar to choose your meat and fixings similar to a Mongolian stir fry. They grill it up with your choice of noodles and or fried rice and serve it direct to your table. In addition there was a wide selection of sushi rolls, rice wrapped and fried. With a variety of California style rolls, fish, shrimp,squid and others. The Sashimi also had quite a selection tuna, salmon, squid, seaweed salad and more. Overall there was a nice selection and all of the food was fresh and tasty. The servers www very pleasant and kept our drinks full. We would definitely try this again.

Don't waste your money here…read more Gave the place a second chance but there's not much you can do other than a full revamp. Food: 3/10 rating. Everything was deep fried. Why is everything deep fried? Ok, I may be slightly exaggerating and not everything is deep fried but I would say roughly 90% of the dishes are. Not good. This place needs some variety. Some greens even. Sushi: 1/10 rating. Once again, more than half of the sushi is deep fried. What's up with this place and frying everything? Additionally, a good chunk of their sushi selection had cheese. Now, if you were to find a roll you liked, I wouldn't recommend even eating it. That sushi looked like it's been sitting out for a couple hours. I stuck to the sashimi. Salmon was the only edible item. I ate about 10 saucer trays and noticed they stop putting any more out. Deserts: 3/10 rating. You're probably wondering how they mess up desserts if everything is just preordered. Well many of the desserts have been sitting out way too long much like the sushi. When I thought it couldn't get worse, I try the ice cream. Tried a vanilla and a chocolate cup. They somehow failed storing ice cream cause it was not solid. Ice cream had the consistency of sour cream and the chocolate tasted sour. Ambiance: 1/10 rating. You want to play janky covers of songs? Fine. You want to have a bunch of nonfunctional bubble fountains? Fine. But the guy should not be screaming the entire time. Why the F am I able to hear you at the sushi area from my table? They're not dogs. You don't need to be shouting commands at them. Service: 5/10 rating. Can't say I expect much from servers. You're collecting the finished plates and refilling drinks then that's a 10/10. Unfortunately our server forgot one and never once refilled our water. The other Tokyo Hibachi Buffets found in Beavercreek and Kettering are better. This particular one is definitely a pass.
