My friends and I had a great dinner with shareable plates a Bar Reyna. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Our server was friendly and attentive. Our table in the "secret garden" was very cute and well spaced. The happy hour menu pricing was great as well. The food was better than expected although the shwarma could be served with more sauce in proportion to the quantity of meat. Overall I would recommend it for a fun and nice dinner out!

Loved sitting in the secret garden area - nice and warm, even at the beginning of February. The food is delicious, the service excellent; a special shout out to the zero-proof Sangria!

Shakshuka was great! Fries were almost cut like potato matchsticks or shredded-style hash browns (very thin). I still liked them but mentioning for those who are particular about their fries! Enjoyed it with an Estrella beer (beer in bottles, none on tap). They have plenty of cocktails on the menu which seems more their vibe but they do warn that it'll take some time to craft, naturally. Very friendly service. Our server was bubbly, chatty, and attentive. Enclosed patio in the back with lots of natural sunlight and space heaters. Having said that, it is still drafty/chilly and not evenly heated, so dress accordingly!! It was about -10C outside on our visit and my feet got quite cold by the end of our meal. The restaurant wasn't terribly busy so all patrons were on the back patio. They also have seating inside the main part of the building (where you first enter off Cumberland) but I saw blankets so I imagine it can be drafty inside too. Would return but maybe on a warmer day!

Visited for the first time on a Saturday eve around 730pm with a friend. We shared a bottle of Rose and had a good time. Very nice place and tastefully decorated with low lighting giving it a cozy feel and cute candels on the tables. Easy to have conversations without having a hard time hearing over music. The food was delicious and seasoned so well. We had the Lebanese Tacos, whitefish kebabs, and Calamari. Everything was fantastic will definitely visit again.

Had the pleasure of visiting Bar Reyna for the first time during their happy hour. It was a lovely experience from start to finish! We enjoyed the Arabic fries, salmon tartare, and falafel. What’s nice about their happy hour is that you can order both from the 7 happy hour menu as well as the full menu! All three dishes were delicious and a good size for tapas-style sharing. The falafel was a little underwhelming but still very tasty. I also enjoyed that they had a good selection of mocktails as someone who doesn’t drink alcohol. Service was quick and attentive. The lights did get dimmer and the music louder as we got further into the evening, so be prepared to compete with some background noise. We were seated in the back of the first floor, it was very cozy with heaters overhead for some extra warmth! Looking forward to returning to Bar Reyna soon to try more of what their menu has to offer!

What a great bar/restaurant. We went here for dinner and the service alone was amazing. Our server, Chris was very helpful with the menu from helping us on picking the cocktails to food items. The cocktails were very well done and the presentation was awesome. The food as well was great! Highly recommend the Miami Short Ribs and the Lebanese Taco’s. We will surely be back :)

I love love love the patio here! I went for the first time last week and the happy hour was amazing, I really couldn’t believe how yummy the food was given that it was so cheap. I believe the drinks were only like seven dollars as well and they were also really delicious. It’s kind of like the perfect work spot to hang out if you just want to relax and have good food and good drinks.
