Re: “Review: Courtyard Grill”
Went with a group of 12. Array of apps were mediocre, with the best being the Tabuleh. Humus, babaganoush, and meat pies were passable, but neither outstanding examples of the classics, nor anything interesting.
Lamb kabobs were dry and overcooked, with very little spice. Yogurt chicken was overly sauced, and served on a gloppy base of bred. Lamb shank was overcooked, and swimming in gravy. Beef stew was similarly simmered to the point where the meat had no flavor. Tavuk Sarma (stuffed chicken) was the one exception, quite interesting, and well prepared.
Staff was friendly until the need for checks arose. Restaurant was only willing to divide checks 3 ways, despite there being 12 of us. "Itemized" bill turned out to be a list of prices, with no identifier of what each dish cost. Restaurant accepts credit cards, but would not allow individual diners to use them, insisting that each entire check be paid in cash or on one credit card.
All in all, a place I had hoped for more from. Fatoush, Phonecia, or Byblos are clearly better options
