    The worst service and Mediterranean food ever! I ordered a falafel sandwich and menu said it was served on a pita. It took 20 minute...oh did I say me and my husband were the only ones there...when I got my dish it was in a flour tortilla! Really?? My husband finished his lunch before my pita sandwich came to the table.

    a table full of food

    What amazing food and experience I had at this lovely restaurant. The food was truly amazing and flavored to perfection. The humus was perfect, loved the roasted flavor, the dressing on the tabouli I could bathing in, so good. The kafta kebabs were my favorite. The chicken and filet minion excellent, wish I could have eaten more. There was this pomegranate sauce was from another world. People you really should go dine at this establishment and do the preset menu, you wouldn't be disappointed!

    Is the food Halal?

    It doesn't state it anywhere. Also, they serve alcohol. While I can't say 100%, I highly doubt the meats are halal here.

    We saw this place on Instagram and so glad to know they are local to us. The food is excellent and…read morestaff is great. This is a Mom and daughter restaurant serving Mediterranean food. We came for brunch and I had this delicious crepe with cheese, cucumbers and za'atar. My husband is allergic to eggs but he had the classic breakfast and they substituted eggs for avocado which they suggested. He really enjoyed the toast, bacon, potatoes and avocado. We sat on the patio which was nice. They do have a small dinning room inside and a place to host small gatherings where you can do hookah.

Today, my friend and I ordered a Coke and an ice water and sat in the lounge area to work on assignments. The café was far from full, with only a couple of other people in the lounge and plenty of open seating available. After about an hour, the owner came over and rudely told us we were "holding two tables over a Coke" and pressured us to order more. I understand businesses need customers to make purchases, but there is a respectful way to communicate that. What made the situation worse was that after I ordered a coffee, she immediately turned to my friend and basically stared him down with a strict look, clearly expecting him to order something too. I explained that we were going to split the coffee, because we're both trying to lose weight, but she continued making the situation uncomfortable. Staring down a customer and making them feel pressured to spend more money is not how you treat paying customers. What makes this even more frustrating is that the menu is already severely overpriced for what is offered. On multiple occasions, I've heard the microwave running while food was being prepared. Paying premium prices for what appears to be microwaved food is disappointing enough without being pressured to spend even more. Even though we only ordered a Coke initially, and have only done that once before, we were still spending money. As regular customers who come here often, you would think that would be appreciated rather than criticized. Be thankful people are still choosing to spend money at your business. Honestly, after today's experience, it's no wonder this place is often empty. Customer service and hospitality matter, and making customers feel unwelcome, guilty, or pressured to spend more is a great way to drive them away. The interaction was uncomfortable enough that I asked for my food to be packed to go and left. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. It's a cafe, not a 5 star restaurant. People want to come here to work on assignments or have a coffee and talk. Even though I didn't want to spend 9 dollars on a coffee, I still purchased something. Edit from her Google response: Now you guys see what type of owner she is by her response. Truly, truly a fake person, and we always spend money coming here (now she wants to lie and manipulate since I have her attention). I always purchase a coffee and more, and I have receipts to prove it. I do not use her WiFi for free, as I am not a rude person unlike her. I don't just order a soda like this owner claims; see my receipts on my credit card. My friend and I ordered drinks and were talking and doing assignments for about half an hour (while she and her waiter came up to us like 10 times to ask us to order, even though this is a cafe), even though we said we would order later. If you're broke, just say so, lady. Trust me, at this rate, this place will close down soon. Like I said, this is a cafe where people come to have a drink, relax, talk, study, or work on assignments; not a restaurant where customers are expected to order a full meal every time they sit down. We purchased drinks, planned to order more later, and were still repeatedly approached and pressured to order. Please do yourself a favor and stop lying to the public. I did not come here four times and just use the WiFi. I paid for the WiFi with my extremely expensive and disgusting coffee and food, which is shown below in the receipts. I did not buy $2 sodas every time. The receipts I attached are from my card, but on many of the other visits my friend paid with his card and spent just as much. So trying to claim that we were sitting here for free or only ordering a soda is simply not true.Now that I have proved you wrong in front of the public, I hope everyone sees you for who you are. You are a money-hungry liar! Lastly, you are right; you're not Starbucks. Starbucks would not treat customers that way, and I'd much rather spend my money at Starbucks anyway.Glad we're on the same page!

    Couldn't say enough good things about our experience!…read more We called in advance to see if they could accommodate our 2 dogs. I'm assuming depending on how busy this might not always be possible but they were able to this time. When we arrived greeted by a few staff and brought to the front patio. Even though this patio is right next to the sidewalk the hedge and lighting made it feel very nice. We were here for dining and not hookah and where we were sat I couldn't smell the hookah at all! We ordered the mixed plate, grilled shrimp plate, lemon mint drink, and a tea. Everything was delicious and we can't wait to come back!

I absolutely LOVE Baba Ganouj but their version had pomegranate vinegrette and was a bit more on the tart side. I guess Im spoiled by Tut's version because it just wasn't it for me. Definitely a acquired taste/flavor. My kibeh plate was good, I do wish they had more side options besides the rice or olive salad, my boyfriend was not a fan of olives and the salad was absolutely overwhelming. Offering perhaps hummus, or the Mediterranean simple salad as side options would've been nice, and I know fries is also an option but we were trying to cut out fried/carbs. The outdoor seating was nice but with folks smoking hookah around us, it became a little overwhelming while dining. Perhaps outdoor patio fans installed to air out the patio only seating would've been nice to keep the air circulating because even on an outdoor patio on a warm day it could be alot for the respiratory system. Not sure if we would return here, especially with so many great places like Tuts, Diplomat, Oasis and Limone.

I normally pay digitally, but I had cash on me and haven't had a chance to deposit it into my bank. Unfortunately, they told me they didn't have enough change for the $100 bill. I understand that businesses can occasionally run low on change, but this was extremely inconvenient. I was short on time, hungry, had more than enough money to pay for my food, and still almost had to leave without my order because the establishment couldn't accept my cash payment. What made the experience more disappointing was when I asked the cashier for a phone number or someone I could contact to share my experience and provide feedback. I was told she didn't know of any number and wasn't given another way to contact a manager or someone in charge. I ended up making several calls myself to find someone who could send me money digitally. Eventually I was able to get the money sent to me and pay for my order, but I shouldn't have had to go through all of that just to pay for a $25 meal when I was standing there with cash in hand. I'm not leaving this review because I expect every business to always have unlimited change. I'm leaving it because I think a restaurant should be prepared to accept normal cash transactions or, at minimum, have a reasonable solution when they can't. And when a customer asks how they can provide feedback about their experience, there should be a way to direct them to management. It turned what should have been a quick food stop into an unnecessarily stressful and time-consuming experience. I wish i could post a positive review on the food, but that definitely ruined my experience.

For our entrée, we had the spicy chicken entree, and it was outstanding. The chicken was incredibly flavorful, but the sauce was something special--rich, savory, and so delicious that it really elevated the entire dish. It was one of those sauces that makes you stop for a second and think, wow, what is in this? We also had the house salad with their house-made balsamic dressing, which was fresh and delicious. Everything was bursting with flavor. My taste buds were smiling the entire time! We ended our meal with fresh, delicious baklava, which was the perfect finishing touch. There's something special about finding a great restaurant completely by accident. Excellent food, wonderful service, fresh ingredients, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere turned an unplanned lunch into such a pleasant experience. The Grill House was an unexpected gem, and we're already looking forward to coming back! Thank you Adam we will back Rick & Lorrie Anne
