Hip, intimate spot with fantastic food and a Middle Eastern Vibe. The owner is Lebanese so you know the food is authentic. The Proprietor, Mr. Maatouk, is a locally famous restauranteur who certainly knows how to give the people what they want! Fresh, tasty food, intimate settings, good music, friendly staff and a creative well stocked bar. Best part is, it's priced well so you won't go home and cry about your empty pocketbook. Walking distance from Water fire and PPAC. I recommend this place for dates, theater dining, socializing and generally just to chill and relax with some great vibes.Dietary restrictions: They accommodate most restrictions especially Kosher/HalalParking: Try around backKid-friendliness: NotWheelchair accessibility: They make accommodations.
This review is from me and my friends. The food was amazing and well worth the wait. Ary was our waiter and he came to our table every 5 minutes checking on us and providing great quality service with a smile on his face and cracking jokes with us. If anyone is to come here, I highly recommend you get Ary as your waiter if you can specially request him. He helped me to celebrate my beautiful girlfriend's birthday as well. Give the man not just a raise, but a big fat bonus!

Delish! Come for the martinis! The banana peanut butter whiskey is so good. We had Amelia as our server, and she is amazing! Great service!! Very cute place to hangout.

I stumbled upon this gem, and I have to say it was fantastic! First and foremost, the service was spot on, and the staff was fabulous. Cholé, your cocktails ? are a vibe, and the food was delicious.
Cozy atmosphere, great food, and such a nice and warm staff! Highly recommend

Solid pizza and great service. Our cocktails were mediocre.Probably a great spot for more of a “pre-game” for a night out or a lively happy hour than just a casual dinner!

I went to see a friend bartending and the location being ground floor and small with low ceilings was claustrophobic to say the least. Service was slow and drinks way way

Amazing environment and the food and music were fire!!!
Dinner menu had a ton of variety and everything we tried was delicious! Awesome drink menu too, featuring flaming espresso martinis and shots. Ary was a super friendly server and had all of our food out in a timely manner. He made my friend feel very special during his birthday dinner.Vibes in here were immaculate with fun music and lighting!!

Went to celebrate a job offer with some friends and loved the atmosphere. Almost like a high class party. Our server Ary was very attentive and courteous the whole night and even took the extra step with writing our celebration on the plate with our flaming shots. The food was pretty good but could have used some presentation that matched that of the drinks. The exceptional service is what has me wanting to come visit again and again. I'll be sure to ask for his section the next time I visit
Love this place every time I come. The charcuterie board was divine. The cocktails are so original and really enjoyable. Their espresso martini is absolutely to die for. The owners are always around and sick friendly guys. They've recognised me even though I've only been a couple times. Really like this place.

The food was okay. The ambiance was not great, the radio was blaring loudly forcing everyone to yell over it and each other. The worst was the service, who gave off the impression they couldn't have possibly cared less, which when the bill came I understood why as they had already added a 20% gratuity for themselves. We won't be going back and I do not recommend.
Loved it
