• Mediterranean • Orange
Byblos Café, originally a Mediterranean market, has been a staple in the orange circle since the 50’s. It was sold to Adel and Zalfa Mahshi in 1989. The family run business became a favorite in the town for Lebanese cuisine. Many locals loyally frequented the spot for their famous Turkish coffee. In 2022, Daily Dose Hospitality, the crew that also runs Bosscat Kitchen & Libations, purchased the business from the family. While Adel and Zalfa had the opportunity to retire, their son, Tim, joined the team alongside Pedram Yazarlou as operating partners. They have transitioned the cuisine to a Mediterranean fusion style with influences from Greece, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, & Jordan.

    I’ve been back to O Sea several times since my last review on open table. The overall quality of the experience makes this an exceptional value as well as incredibly satisfying. The food is very delicious, well thought out, presented perfectly and so pleasing to the taste buds! And now they have wine flights! This makes exploring the wines Mike has curated incredibly fun. Mike has expertly assembled wines from the US and the world, that are priced reasonably and are of higher quality than most restaurants. And now with the wine flights you can try out more of them without feeling like you are over indulging. My hat is off to his cook and wait staff, especially Sara, Christie, Alondra and Elise. They have all waited on me on different occasions and are superb, friendly, helpful, timely and very knowledgeable. Mike trains them very well and that means the service is consistent every time. If you are this far into my review and you’re still wondering if you should try it out, let me say you will be sorry if you don’t. This is a great place for seafood and wine.

    Great authentic Italian food options to choose from. Service was amazing. I requested a desert with a lit candle for my partners birthday and they gave us the desert on the house. 10/10 will come again.

    Very good. We hadn’t been back for awhile but we’re excited to try some of the new menu items. We each started with the French onion soup which was delicious. My husband had the mussels and I had the lobster roll. Both were great. That and a couple do craft brews and it was a great evening out.
