About Les Amis Restaurant & Lounge
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
The food was spectacular, with so many flavors and vibrant colors. It looked good, tasted good, and felt good eating it. The eggplant was solid, topping most of the other similar restaurants that serve this. The staff were all spectacular as well and will stop by and have a chat with you if you allow them to - very enjoyable stuff. Best part is after your meal, you can stop by next door at their sister bar for some amazing cocktails.
We saw this when we dined next door last week and like the fact that they have patio seating. So we gave it a try this time. We have reservation at 6pm and the place was not too crowded. We got the table outside at the patio. Very nice and relaxing. The service was great. Very friendly and attentive! Everyone works there was helping each other out. I ordered the Less Amish house special with 2 items. My wife ordered the chicken shawarma bowl. Both were very tasty. Typical Lebanese food. The hot latte was fantastic. It's very fancy the way it was served. Parking is a little tough since there are many restaurants there. We parked at a structure and walked 2 blocks. Highly recommend this place!
I’ve had their house rice a few times but the last couple of times it’s been a small amount and I don’t see pine nuts. I got probably 1 bite of chicken in my plate. The plate isn’t even 1/2 full, they spread the rice so it looks like a lot but I was able to stack all my rice in one corner of my box. $16 for a side of rice is insane. It’s embarrassing.
The food was really good. I enjoyed the different flavors and textures. Definitely will try again. The inside had a nice atmosphere too.
Vibe & Service This spot easily handled our 10+ group on a quiet night. Staff was genuinely helpful and attentive throughout our meal. Menu Surprises Lebanese-Mexican fusion sounds exciting, but feels more like two separate menus living side by side. The tacos? Purely Mexican—no Lebanese twist in sight. Standout Bites The appetizer sampler played it safe with standard baba ganoush, labna, and grape leaves. However, the fried cauliflower stole the show! The warm pita arrived with that perfect soft-meets-crispy texture we all crave. Sip Worthy Their pomegranate cream soda packs a tangy yogurt punch rather than sweetness—unique and refreshing. Main Event My chicken shawarma wrap was decent but forgettable. The side potatoes arrived disappointingly soggy, though the powerful garlic toum sauce nearly saved them with its bold flavor. Bottom Line 3/5 stars. Great for groups and solid service, but the kitchen hits and misses. With those soggy potatoes and identity-confused menu, I'm not rushing back despite the cauliflower's valiant efforts.
