    Beautiful restaurant. Poor service. Our waiter kept disappearing, didn't ask us if we wanted another drink, didn't ask us if everything was OK. We only saw him 2x. I had to ask the other waitress for salt, water, and some ice. Also, found hair in my food which completely turned me off. Would I give another try yes.

    Great variety of food. The waitstaff was excellent, very attentive. All Lettuce Entertainment restaurants should drop the rediculous 3% Service Charge. Wake up and stop insulting the clientele.

    Delicious lunch for a birthday celebration. We ordered a salad to share and the chicken kabobs and loved both! A fun complimentary dessert was enjoyed also!

    Pacing was completely random, for no discernible reason. Kebab was ok but very very plain. Prices were extreme for the quantity and quality, and I agree with another poster - why not use true menu pricing for a restaurant that just opened, instead of adding on a fee? Overall Aba is significantly better but for me Glenview is signify closer.

    Meditteranean with a California twist. Mezzi plates mean small servings but not a small price. The waitress suggested 2-3 plates per person. The food was good; we have an allergy in the family, and they were careful to explain the menu and double-check our choices with the manager. The service was good but the initial delivery of the first plate was >40 minutes.
