The Walid's combo plate had delicious dips/spreads. However, it had only one piece of pita... not enough to soak up the dips. We had to order two more, making the appetizer of dips and bread about $22. Meh. Also, the menu lists bulgar as the first ingredient of the tabbouleh- which signifies that it is the main ingredient. We got a pile of parsley and onions. Fine if that is what they want to serve, just don't lie about it on the menu. The server didn't offer to return it when we mentioned it, stating that the menu had an error on it. If we didn't have a coupon, I would have refused to pay for it, as it was not what I ordered. This place has great flavors (dips), and a fine atmosphere. Lacking in execution and value. It was not a terrible experience, but I would not return.

Food Quality was very good and wait staff was extremely attentive

Overall, we enjoyed the experience and will return. There were a couple of things to note; 1. The cocktails were skimpy (the glass was only filled 3/4 full) and 2. The server seemed perplexed that we were a large party without a reservation. The server loosened up over the course of the meal and was more friendly. The food was very good!

The server was wonderful.
Offered recommendations and was able to explain the various flavors of spices that we could taste in our food.

the dips were so thick it was like eating cream cheese. I would have preferred something that had better ingredients and less fat. The meat was very tough and fatty and there was not much of it. The only thing that was good was the bread and the wine. Also, it is quite expensive for what you get.

Nice place to relax and dine. Waitstaff are always helpful and give the right amount of attention to their customers

service was poor especially because the place was not crowded. I still gave a 16% tip because I try to be a fair person.

The service is excellent; Denzel is very quick and attentive. The salads (Lebanese) are always fresh and delicious. He offered a complimentary appetizer with pita which was very thoughtful. My seafood combo was very salty and had no garlic sauce on the rice as it usually does. So my rice was plain except for Sumac. My husband's entree had garlic sauce. He said the meat had a disagreeable taste (from the grill). I have given excellent reviews in the past. Tonight the food was not as good as usual. We have been here many times, not only when we have a coupon.

This restaurant is consistently superb. Only one customer service comment: We asked for a recommendation for a good, dry, white wine and were pitched a Lebanese wine that was excellent. We went into shock when we got the bill, because the wine was $15 per glass. (I have never, ever spent $15 on one glass of wine.) We mentioned to the server that he needed to let customers know the price per glass of wines that he recommends. He mentioned that the price per glass was in the wine menu and I reminded him that we asked him for a recommendation and took him at his word. He removed the price of one glass from our bill and we tipped generously -- $10 on a $43 pre-tax, pre-coupon discount bill. We will go back again but will be wary of the wine prices.

Great food, good service.

We have been there several times and bought four coupons for them. The food is always good and the service is excellent. We tend to have the same thing every time. Generous amounts of food; huge fresh salad, lots of meat or fish on the skewer, deliciously seasoned rice. The wine is good and reasonably priced. We will go again many times.

Food is great, but pricey. Service was good. Location is kind of far from downtown Seattle or Bellevue.

had to wait for over an hour for our meal because there was only 1 waiter.He mixed up orders and the food was bland.
12/7/2012 4:38:52 AM
The service is excellent. The food is always good and fresh but I wish they had more selections on their menu. We always order the same thing--lamb kebab or seafood kebab. The appetizers are very good. We enjoy going there.

Food was excellent, yet the restaurant was so crowded it took quite a while for our order to arrive.
11/16/2012 4:24:17 AM
The hummus and pita is one of our favorite dishes. We also love the seafood stew. I don't think we've ever ordered anything we didn't love. My husband had a Scuttlebutt ale and I had the Villa Rojo red wine...wonderful! ...and it's always nice to see Denzel.

We truly enjoyed our meal. The lamb special, was the best lamb we've ever had, and we were able to share it.

Very nice atmosphere, excellent food!

Musicians are a nice touch. On Friday, 10/12, the sound systems was a little loud for conversations at the table though.
