"Come to Balade for a Lebanese meal that will feel like you’re spending more money than you actually are. If you’re looking to keep things safely under the $30 per person mark, bring someone you don’t mind sharing with and get a platter, some mezzes, and wine. The atmosphere is just a little bit romantic, but not so much that it’ll feel weird to come with someone you’re not dating. It’s a casual spot overall." - hannah albertine, matt tervooren
