    It’s unfortunate when an interaction with the manager taints your experience. There was confusion able the total number of guests we had because there was an infant. The manager walked up to me with immediate attitude before having even spoken to me. They had us at a table that could have fit a high chair or addition chair at the end as it was in front of a column but would not allow us to up one there. So instead we were crammed into the booth side with the infancy car seat. Regardless of where the failure in communication happened, there was absolutely no reason to start off our dining experience with rudeness, attitude and inflexibility. It unfortunately tainted the experience and will not make us returning customers at this location.

    Friendly and accommodating staff. The complimentary garlic flatbread was delicious as were the labneh salad and chicken schwarma pita sandwich. I've been to this location a couple of times and the food has always been great, with enough variety and options for anyone. I would highly recommend this place for groups, small groups, families, even solo diners.

    Great Mediterranean food. Wonderful vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. We are familiar with this genera of food and find Landwers at the high end of this option.

    The food’s always good and today was no exception. But their app, which is supposed to facilitate ordering and allow the use and collection of rewards, is hopelessly broken. It took 25 minutes for two tech-capable people AND the manager to navigate the app and successfully register two separate orders (because we somehow couldn’t submit two items on one order). Meanwhile, we have two rewards that have languished on the app for over two years because the “free” items — a tote bag and a free shake — are either out of stock or “cannot be ordered at this location.” Very frustrating.

    Two different shakshukas were underwhelming and chopped salad side dish was under seasoned. Nothing memorable except the warm challah bread. Good service!
