This is the most amazing restaurant I’ve been in my life. This is my third time going and it has not disappointed. My partner and I left from Washington DC to have a meal. Service from all ends is impeccable. Staff makes you feel like you’re at home. You’re so well taken care of from suggesting coat check to explaining dishes. Dilara was our server and she was FANTASTIC!! She paced our meal well and told us when to stop eating the first course to save for the second (EXCELLENT advice). The food is truly outstanding. Tears every time. The meal is definitely more pricey than before but it’s worth every penny. We can’t wait to return!

Tables are way too close together I can hear everything that the other table is saying, which made me feel uncomfortable. Drinks were made half right, pomegranate with rum was way too strong. Brussels sprouts smelled burnt, very very burnt. I tasted it several times with different ones hoping it was a mistake, but it was really disgusting, we had to tell or waitress. The tables were way too small even for two people. The entire time I felt cramped. I don't understand why the restaurant is booked all the time I had really high expectations but everything was not the best that I've seen. There were some dishes that tasted really good like the hummus and the rice, but it's definitely not the best. Be careful they charge you soda tax for sparkling water!!! And another tax (food?) PLUS your usual tax on the bill!!! NOT ONLY that you have to pay tip too, so that's how they get you!

Got a bit of a mixed feelings about the place. Honestly the food and service is great so I can't give it less than 5*. The amount of food is good. Not great but really good and if you need extras you get extras. Family style or rather Israeli style dining is wonderful it is filling and you have variety for all who can do spicy or need not spicy or need something else.

I haven't seen a better Israeli restaurant anywhere in the US and believe me I've looked. One thing that gives me pause a little bit is the wine list and the hype. I get the hype but the wine list could be better.

I was so excited to finally get to visit this restaurant! It is not the easiest place to get reservations but my sister and I went during happy hour and was seated. The food and service were amazing!! Our courses were expertly paired with wine and totally worth the extra fee. Will absolutely visit again!!!
