Very good food. Service was not good. It took quite a while before our server even came to the table after we were seated. Couldn’t get anyone’s attention for more water. Not asked if I wanted another drink. Slow to check in on us. Seemed like there was staff around but no one helping out other servers. Might return for the food.

I had lunch with two girlfriends. It was my first time at Au Liban. The restaurant is beautiful. We shared some mezze and a salad. The food was very good quality, fresh and delicious. I will be back.

Overall the mezzes were pretty underwhelming from the Kibbeh with no seasoning at all to the dandelion greens which really just tasted like a pile of carmelized onions…the steak platter was solid… asked them to bring out the 4 mezzes slowly… received all 4 with 8 mins… server offered no way to take some of the cold ones back… FOH needs work… back of house needs attention to detail. Nice room though. And everyone was very friendly. Had hoped for more.

Second time there for lunch and food was great as usual. Shared the Hummus Pesto, Tabulleh salad and had a nice lunch plate. Food took a little longer than expected to arrived but was not in a problem as we were no it a rush.

We enjoyed a ladies lunch to celebrate the holiday season. Au Liban is all decked out for the festive season and felt warm and cosy on a windy rainy day. We shared several salads and spreads and had a platter with meat and grilled vegetables. Very flavourful and very good.

We were pleasantly welcome to Au Liban. It was a lovely atmosphere to enjoy an outing with friends over a tasty lunch. The waiter was engaging and his energy just added to a wonderful lunch. We tried a couple of different dishes and were all brilliant especially the dessert, pistachio base with light cream, rose water jelly, honey. Great to share.

Our group of 5 had a fabulous first time experience. Our server was very attentive and always checking back to top up wine and see how we were enjoying everything. The food was superb! I had the Au Liban Hummus with AAA rib eye and the Batata Harra (potatoes, which I can't wait to go back again soon for). Even the washrooms were lovely and clean, which says a lot about a restaurant to me. They have also gone above and beyond with their beautiful holiday decorations. Every detail from start to finish was perfect. I look forward to my next visit and highly recommend Au Liban.
