We ate here twice on a visit to Jerusalem. The food is exceptional and the service is good too. Order anything made with eggplant or lamb and you will be so happy!
HaMotzi

MoreWe came for dinner, two families (total of 9 people). We were seated in the upper level, where there was a very big table of 20 people near us. the group of people were very loud, in a place where the acoustics is very bad. we could not enjoy the food, we could not enjoy the atmosphere, and when commenting on that we were told there is nothing to do, since they are friends of the chef. That being said - the food was nice, not great as expected, and the service was ok. But the bottom line - it was a very bad experience for us.
