“ Dining at Byblos Uptown was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations. True to its description, the restaurant offers a masterful fusion of Eastern Mediterranean flavors, blending traditional recipes with modern techniques and local ingredients. The result is a vibrant, flavorful, and beautifully curated menu that feels both rooted in heritage and refreshingly contemporary. We ordered several dishes to share, and every single one was absolutely incredible. The hummus was silky and perfectly seasoned, the labneh was rich and tangy, and the grilled halloumi had the perfect balance of crispness and saltiness. The lamb pide was aromatic and hearty, showcasing a delicious mix of spices and textures. The short rib was fall-off-the-bone tender and deeply flavorful, and we ended on a high note with the chocolate cake—decadent, moist, and not overly sweet, just the way it should be. The experience was made even better by our server, Wes, who was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot-on, and he provided exceptional customer service throughout the evening. It’s rare to find staff who are both professional and genuinely enthusiastic, and Wes absolutely elevated our dining experience. The atmosphere at Byblos Uptown is warm and elegant, with a lively yet relaxed vibe that makes it perfect for both intimate dinners and group gatherings. I can’t recommend this place highly enough—it’s a true gem for anyone who loves Mediterranean cuisine or simply appreciates outstanding food, cocktails and service! ”
“ Beautiful ambiance, delicious food/drinks, and super attentive service! I came here for my friend’s birthday with 9 people and we had a preset menu. The portions were extremely generous for the amount we paid. We all left very full and happy! Plus, no additional fees to keep our own birthday cake/desserts in the fridge. Highly recommend! ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
“ Always a great spot. Very cozy vibe and wonderful food. The jewelled rice and short ribs are highlights but everything is great. ”
“ Came for dinner, great atmosphere, lots of variation in seating arrangements. Loved the couch style seating. Food was great! Dumplings were delicious. As for the mains this is probably some of the best lamb I have eaten. Market price was 75 for the lamb shoulder. Also came with a variety of sauces, pita, onions and pickles. The fish was also a great paring with the lamb a lot lighter and fresher in flavours. Would recommend and would come back again. ”
“ I was there recently to meet a friend who I haven’t seen in over 30 years. The staff were all amazing and the food was delicious! Special shout out to our server Matt and the senior sous chef Daniel for making our evening so memorable! The mantis were incredible! We will definitely be back! ”
