High end quality at mid tier prices! Perfect for date night! Wife and I stopped in on Saturday night and I can't say enough good things about it. The ambience of the place hits you the minute you walk in and transports you to another place from the music to the furniture to the decor and fixtures, everything is elegantly appointed. The service is absolutely perfect, our server Alex was friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive, as were other members of the staff. We ordered two of the specialty cocktails (casablanca cosmo and Ingrid Bergman) and they were absolutely yummy! Not too strong to ruin the taste in your mouth, but definitely strong enough to settle you in for a nice meal. Perfect. To start, we ordered the briouats, a pastry filled with chicken and almond vaguely reminiscent of an Indian samosa, but with totally different flavors. They are actually served with a drizzle of honey while I am usually not that into sweet flavors with my savory foods, it totally worked here and they were absolutely scrumptious. For our entrée we had the chicken brochette (essentially spiced chicken skewers) and the couscous royal (couscous with a sampling of different meats). Everything was DELICIOUS, but if I had to name one thing that stood out the most it'd be the couscous. Most couscous is quite grainy in texture, but this chef has some magic secret that churns out the softest, fluffiest, most comforting couscous either of us have ever had. It is a MUST HAVE when you visit. The dessert options were a little bit less impressive, mostly just standard American desserts like cheesecake etc, but the one thing that is awesome is the Moroccan mint tea. It's the perfect way to cap off the meal lightly sweetened with an incredibly rich minty aroma, it helps cleanse the palate and settle the stomach. Each sip went me deep into my own fantasies of sitting in a back alley Cafe somewhere in the streets of Marrakesh, sipping mommy tea all day as I watch the merchants haggle. The tea is definitely another must have. At the end of it all, our bill came out to be about what you're expect from a date night out at a mid tier restaurant like Red Lobster, but the quality of food, service, and ambience is definitely high end!
