We visited last night with another friend and we enjoyed our time there. The food was good but we found the portions to be a bit small. We ordered a bunch of apps and mains, along with a side of pita. My only feedback for the food would be the flavours were a bit bland compared to Lebanese or middle eastern cuisine. Honestly, their desert was the star of the show - we got the lemon olive oil cake to finish and it was plain delicious! Service was great and the staff actually care about your experience. Parking was easy to find nearby and we had a good first visit 😌

Absolutely wonderful restaurant. Great ambience and amazing Lebanese food. Our host Matt made our experience truly unique. Looking forward to visit again! Customers can park at the municipal parking at the next street.

Had a chance to try the tasting menu for a friends birthday and it was quite a great experience! We were a table of 10 and I have to say that the service was top notch. Lots of staff to help clear the table and answer any questions, always keeping an on the table service and super professional. The food was great as well! The first two servings was decent, with the serving size as expected for a tasting menu. Some had great flavour, while other items could be a pass. The final course was massive! Definitely save your appetite for the final plates. Lamb was incredibly tender and flavourful. Overall, I would recommend the tasting menu if you were looking to try different items at this spot.

Food was delicious, the 12oz steak was so tender and succulent. The middle eastern fried chicken was good, but a little on the heavier side. The short rib kebab was good, but I think the flavor was a little overpowering. We took some of the short rib to go and it tasted amazing the next day, so I think it was just all the sauces surrounding the plate that gave it too much flavor. The thrice cooked fries were a good side and comes with a tasty sauce. The aesthetics of the restaurant was great, felt very cozy while giving the upscale dining experience.

We booked Byblos Uptown to host our wedding reception and had an amazing experience. They were a huge help in planning the evening, paying attention to the smallest details, and making the process feel fun and light while being serious and passionate about their work. We were struck by the professionalism of the Byblos staff and it made the evening a huge success. All our guests raved about the place, and we're still getting questions about how we found it. They also appreciated the attentiveness of the staff, who were really friendly, sharp and took good care of us. The venue itself is gorgeous and intimate, creating an atmosphere of conversation and warmth. The food is stellar, which was very important to us since we have a family of big eaters. Everyone came away full and happy. Some of the hits included the branzino, the beef tartare, and the chocolate cake! This was a one of the most important nights of our lives, and they made it magical for us. Really happy with our choice to go with Byblos Uptown.

The ambiance and service was great. There’s a variety of options on the menu, love how the food is unique and not basic. Every item we ordered was tasteful, with unique flavours. Would definitely come back again!

Divine food, inovative, good service, friendly, attentive. Definitely will come back. I would love more dessert selections, Katayef is not really what it should be , this is my opinion.

Summerlicious dinner menu 3 courses. Beef tartare+ chicken & cheese cake. Taste good! Besides the lighting inside is a bit too dark. The rest are all good👍🏻
