Mourad, you come with big expectations, big name, big press!! Boy, did you deliver!! Your sleek, pretty and damn delicious!! The divine Moroccan flavors were out of this world! Your restaurant is truly a wine lovers paradise! I’m so glad that my girlfriend Lily Woo and I sat at the chef’s table and watch you in action! What a production! It’s like watching a symphony! We started the evening with a dirty martini served in an elegant coup (nice touch!). Grilled octopus with chickpeas and merguez was outstanding! I tend to order octopus whenever it’s available on a menu and damn it was good! Soft shell crab with shimeji, plum and zhug; aaahh… shimeji me away, please!! And lastly, the lamb with pistachio charmoula was over the top! The presentation of your dishes was insanely perfected. We brought a bottle of Beaux Frères Pinot 2009 from Willamette Valley and it paired perfectly with everything!! Thank you Mourad Lahlou!! We look forward to seeing you, your splendid staff and to encounter this over-the-top culinary experience again soon!!
