The bread comes out of the oven puffed like a pillow. We ordered a second round before the mezze arrived.

Booked the Cedar Room for my parents' anniversary. They handled every detail, and the staff sang in Arabic.

Whole branzino, burnt-lemon toum and a glass of Lebanese white on the patio. Best Tuesday I've had all year.
