I feel like Roman’s is the closest you’re going to come to a guaranteed good time in BR. The servers are always super pleasant. Everyone who works there looks like they are oh so happy to be alive, and, most importantly, they can cook serious food every single time you visit. It helps to have actually been around forever to make your place feel like it’s always been there, but Roman’s is a step beyond that. Graceful and grateful at the same time. Very nice pieces everywhere, and although some parts are worn, they are also clean and comfortable.
Sometimes when I go I’ll run with my standing order, hummus and fried cheese. Other times I just have to have the lamb like today. They always bring the bread just after my Lebanese iced tea, then the salad with the creamy garlic dressing and feta, and then the perfect entree–grilled lamb skewers with tzatziki and hummus and rice pilaf.
