We were at the restaurant next door 21 Spices on Valentine's Day, when we discovered this place the first week it opened. For the first couples of years we dined here at least 3-4 X per season, but have stopped coming since after Covid for no particular reason. We came back for the first time in years, and were reminded how Outstanding the food is. You start off with the puffy bread. OMG!! The best bread ever. Comes out warm. Yummy. Then we had to get our favorite appetizer. It's Chef Rachid sampler platter and has a variety of mezzes. I highly recommend this appetizer to try different samplings of Turkish food. Be aware though, this sampler is eggplant heavy with 4 different preparations. All is delicious. 2 -3 types of hummus. The original is tasty, but we loved the beet one. See picture for the different samplings. For dinner, I had the branzino special; whole fish fillet. My husband had the half chicken. Both were delicious. Honestly the food is what you would expect in a high-end "chefy" restaurant - it was that well prepared with special spices.The vibe of this restaurant is very casual, with ceiling exposed with exhaust pipe running across. Seating is tight, especially for 2 people. Though the food is outstanding, we wouldn't bring out of town guests here who want to get a Naples experience. It would be great take-out however. They opened up a takeout counter since we were here last. Good idea. It was crowded the night we came, and have always been in prior years we have dined here. In future, we may just take-out if we can't get a table.The prices are reasonable. If they upgraded their dining decor, they could probably charge more. However, I don't think they are trying to compete with the 5th Avenue restaurants. For the most part, service was very good. Sophia was our waitress and she was exceptional. One of the waiters gave us a detailed explanation of each of the mezzes. The lady at the front desk reception was professional but not friendly. She sat us in a small 2 seater when there were open 4 tops. From a business perspective, I understand that they wanted to keep it open for guests with larger numbers than a couple. However, it makes dining not as comfortable. Overall, very good experience and will definitely come back. The food really is that good.

This is a very unique restaurant serving authentic Lebanese food. The pita bread is outstanding...I could make a meal of it. We had 4 individuals and ordered the following1. Chicken farrouj excellent2. Whole fish special excellent3&4 Lamb Movzat (cooked in a terrine) This was crazy One of the dishes came out fabulous with lots of lamb on the shank. The other one came out 85% fat and was basically uneatable. This threw a rather dark cloud over an otherwise excellent meal.Also, we had the "Chef Rachid" appetizer which was a sampling of 9 different dishes.I would go back but avoid the lamb Movzat which is supposed to be their signature dish

The location was fine, a pretty easy drive and in a nice little spot where it was accessible. The Atmosphere was very cultural and was very calm. The food was amazing. The appetizers were very good, as well as vegan and gluten-free options were very well listed, then for the main , my meal was very good. With high protein and vegetables the food was suburb. Our server was wonderful as she took allergens and food preferences into notice, and was even able to recommend some dishes for us. The value was acceptable, as for there were some imported and exotic items, the price was a little high. The wait time was very flexible as we booked online about 55 minutes ahead of our meal, they were very open and practically waiting for us.

We have been visiting Naples for 20 years, and seen publicity for this restaurant but never tried it. I wish we’d done it sooner. The restaurant is smart, with both inside and outside seating. The staff were welcoming and helpful. I have never tried Lebanese food before, so they were able to explain the dishes. The food was excellent, very fresh and tasty. Prices were reasonable and the portion sizes were large. We will definitely be adding this to our list of regular eating places.
