"I’m a big fan of Lebanese food from years spent calling on Toledo accounts. Toledo is the US home to Lebanese cuisine in my mind and Byblos is right at the top. Food-wise, Mary’z reminded me of Byblos. Hummus was outstanding, falafel sandwich included Lebanese pickle and radish, as I’ve come to like it. Taboulah was more tomato and citrus than barely and parsley, yum. The pitas were a bit wimpy but that’s a nitpick. They were supposed to allow bringing in wine with a corkage which we did, bringing in a fine bottle of aged Turley Petite Syrah. But I noticed others bringing in or bottles of fighting varietals and it made sense when they didn’t charge the corkage. Those folks were taking advantage of the fact that they hadn’t been charging corkage during the time when their wine and beer license was being approved. That happened last week and these folks either didn’t know or didn’t care so they brought in their two-buck Chuck despite there being multiple bottles of fairly priced, similar wines on the menu. Then I heard the manager was going to stop letting people bring in wine. No!!!! Fools abusing a corkage policy in-flux by bringing in wines is just ruining it for the people who have cellars and don’t mind paying corkage to have the privilege of using their cellar in this crazy state which forbids corkage when a full-liquor license is granted, even if the proprietor is okay with it. I hope Mary’z doesn’t go the no outside wine route. Rant aside, we will certainly return. I give it thumbs up. Llama Cafe may be looking at hard times with Mary’z down the street."

"If you have your sights set on a finer dining experience, go elsewhere. This place is a bit more laid back. The food is good enough, but service was quite inattentive to us. I do believe she was not well educated in the menu, and made no effort to explain anything. However nice and friendly our server was, was undone by her lack of attentiveness. Not at all introducing herself to us, and when we said it was our first time, her blank stare told us she had little experience. While the bread was good the wheat pitas did not taste traditional, we still had about 3 baskets full for the 4 of us, when we asked what kind of sugar, or molasses, honey or what was used in the pitas to give it a waffle scent, we were told it has some sugar in it ... helpful. we got the quail which really was fantastic. Our waitress did inform us that that takes a bit of time to prepare, thankful for her forethought on that. Could not say enough good about that quail. If only that bird was bigger! Difficult to eat around the bones... but its quail, what do you expect? It was perfectly prepared. Definitely a recommended choice. The beef tenderloin taco things were good but not fantastic. The hummus was wonderful!!! So in all the dinner had a few hits, and a few misses. Would have been better if the waitress had given us the check within the 15 minutes we sat unacknowledged with the card sitting on the table. But all in all it was not bad."
