Fodor's Review:

Good grub, a friendly crowd, and belly dancers on weekend evenings make Byblos—named for an ancient city in Phoenicia—a fun addition to almost any itinerary. If you are new to Greek and Lebanese cooking (or just cannot make up your mind), try the $30 tasting menu, which includes starters like hummus and grape leaves, among others, and entrées like kebabs and kafta (ground meat with onions and spices). The mainstream menu is dotted with lamb chops, curried beef, gyros, and other treats. By the way, you can join the dancers—if you have the bravado.

I've eaten at Byblos many times for lunch, and it is really a great place. The wait staff is always good, the food is consistently excellent, and the whole experience is exactly right: A Mediterranean/middle east feeling you can enjoy. This restaurant has great gyros, kabobs, etc, but is also very suitable for vegetarians...so a mixed group can do well.
