I know the usual stuff Monas, Lebanon, Byblos.

What are some other good ones?

Not looking for fine dining like Shiya.

Anyone been to Pyramids Cafe?

Pretty sure that's not the important part of his question. Just saying.

Pyramid is normal run of the mill Mediterranean.

Shaya is definitely not fine dining

It's more expensive than most Mediterranean restaurants around and in the pictures it looks much more classy than a traditional causal laid back place.

Any suggestions?

Just looking to try out a different place. We usually go to Monas. Occasionally Lebanons. Thought I'd see if yall have other suggestions.

I went to Jamelia Cafe about a year ago. Preferred it over Mona's.

Not sure if that place is still open though.

ETA: it might be on the same casual level as Shaya though.

20 on apps

60 on entrees.

80 on wine

Tax, and tip.

But even without the wine we'll be up around 90 bucks.

Cleo's in the CBD is very good (I haven't been there in 2 years though) and by FAR the best bang for your buck in town.
