    Great restaurant with such a cool vibe and they have plenty of options for vegetarians who avoid egg and meat and as well as for vegans. Service is excellent as always and interiors are insta-worthy.

    Excellent food. Creative appetizers (try the lamb ribs, pide and deep fried olives). Mains are for sharing- huge portions. Sides also excellent - brussels sprouts, rice and triple cooked fries. Desserts not overly sweet. Nice ambience, attentive and knowledgeable service. Good place for a celebration.

    Very inventive middle eastern fare - really enjoyed the harissa chicken, dumplings, halumi and cauliflower- wish there were more non alcoholic options like fancy teas etc. for with the meal (only realized they had teas when the dessert menu arrived)

    Fantastic food , especially the lamb shoulder was exquisite. The service was outstanding . I wish i remembered the server’s name because he was a very polite, professional and great. I would love to visit again. My wife and I had a great time on our anniversary dinner and the that place made sure that we felt it was incredible and special.

    The lamb chops 76$ were cold. The beef stake was over charred and cold from inside. The wrong dishes were being delivered to us the ones we did not order. The serving staff are poorly trained. I have come to Byblos several times but found the food and service subpar this time and unfortunately will be reluctant to return given so many other options. Did not get value for our money. I am telling you as it was.
