   the food here was some of the best levantine dishes i’ve ever had! to start the server was very knowledgeable and helped me pick an incredible lebanese cabernet sauvignon which was simply incredible! for starters we got the trio of hummus, cucumber yogurt and the grape leaves. i’m a BIG fan of dolmas and these were the best i’ve had for sure! cannot forget the absolutely perfect pita bread. the moussaka was delectable and the recommended osmalieh ice cream was divine with a turkish coffee to finish. will 100% be returning to Ammatoli

   The service was poor and waitress was very pushy trying to press you to order extra starters in addition to the main meal. Each starter dips costs between $12-20 for just a small plate of hummus and eggplants dips. We told her we only wanted a family sized dish to share but she added extra four starters anyway by saying the portions was small, not enough, etc. The family sized dish was enough so we ended up not being able to finish those dips. A big waste of $100. The website says each item (main dish) costs $10-30, but in the restaurant no main dish was listed below $25 and most items are $35+! A glass of wine costs$20! We could have enjoyed the meal more if the waitress was less pushy, not giving misleading information and listened to us by letting us just order the family sized dish to share.. She also didn’t want to slip the checks, etc.. our experience was not positive at all! Very disappointing!!

   The place is very nice and well decorated. The food came out on time. I was with my daughter from San Diego and my son from Los Angeles and I came down from the bay area and we were all fasting and came for a nice Iftar dinner and we were all glad we did. everything was 10 stars.

   Met out of town friends for dinner. Service and food were good. Located near several other bars, restaurants, ice cream shops, etc. Noise level was perfect in that it was lively, but not so loud you have to shout to be heard.

   Beautiful place to eat. Everyone is so friendly and professional. We drive nearly 2 hours from SD every time to come here and it is so worth it! There’s something for everyone, everything tastes so fresh, and looks incredible.

   Went in expecting a great experience. While the food was delicious and the ambience was interesting and lovely, that wait staff was condescending and judgmental. We left feeling less excited then before and would think twice before going back again.

   Had reservations for 6:30 pm for a party of 6. Our server seemed to be more focused on her other tables instead of our table. Not that it really matters but would be nice to know that the bread wasn’t complimentary. Also a shame that tip was already included. My sibling had ordered something to go when our server told us that it was about to be last call before the kitchen closed, however, the server didn’t put in the order, and so my sibling didn’t get that order made. We told the server about it and she coldly just said sorry kitchen’s closed. Fortunately though, the food was good.

    Service was not great. Server was not very knowledgeable about the menu. Ended up ordering pita to go with entree after being told that entree would only come with the meat only for the entree to come with pita. Spent $6 unnecessarily for the pita. Hummus also did not come with anything to eat with, required a separate purchase of the pita. They were also unable to split our checks, which made it difficult as we were on a work trip.
