There is a great place downtown that is one of those rare finds where everyone can find something they like (unless you are a vegetarian that is). The place is great for families, but unlike most family restaurants, you do not have to be a kid to have a great time there.

For starters, after you order they bring out fresh laffa bread, warm from the oven. They then cover the table with all sorts of Mediterranean salads. Some are sweet, others are very spicy, but all are fantastic. There is crushed hot pepper, carrot and garlic salad, and several varieties of eggplant salads. While you are wolfing down these appetizers, the kids will be enjoying unlimited chips. That's right. As soon as they finish the plate, a server will come by and plunk another one down right in front of them. It keeps them happy and out of your way so you can really appreciate both the salads and the meal to come.

The place is primarily a steak place, so I recommend you go for the rib eye or the sirloin. They are grilled right behind the counter. In fact, when you place your order, you can watch it being prepared right before your eyes. As you munch your salads, you watch the red meat sizzle on the grill. The chefs know just when to pull them off to make sure that the meat is cooked to perfection.

If you prefer chicken, there are great marinated chicken kabobs. They come on extremely long metal skewers which hold an abundance of delicious chicken as well as a fine selection of grilled fresh vegetables. What I really like is that the proportions are really good. You don't have to worry about ordering a second entrée (which I am forced to do in certain places) or going away hungry.

Great place and they also have plenty of street parking, especially in the evening. Try it, you won't be sorry.
