Casual Lebanese spot known for fresh-baked manakish and value brunch; great flavors and portions, but service warmth and meat-to-salad ratios vary by visit and crowd.
Why it gets a B- for overall quality
Ô Four delivers genuine Lebanese brunch appeal through fresh-baked manakish and wraps paired with strong value for generous portions. However, quality varies noticeably—bean dishes occasionally turn too acidic, meat portions fluctuate, and service tone shifts between warm and rushed—preventing the reliability expected of higher-rated establishments. Best experienced at off-peak hours when the owner's personal touch and oven-side charm shine brightest.
Restaurant Summary
In a compact room off Parc Avenue, the oven glows and dough is rolled to order, setting a warm and bustling tone. Many guests praise friendly staff and the owner’s personal touch, though some describe rushed or indifferent service during busy brunches. Portions win fans, with one diner noting their wrap was "huge for the price." The cooking leans traditional Lebanese—manakish, zaatar, shish taouk, and brunch plates—focused on fresh-baked dough rather than showy techniques. When it clicks, flavors pop and value shines; less glowing visits cite too-acidic bean dishes or a light meat-to-salad ratio in shawarma. Come at off-peak for the best balance of speed and care. For families, this is easygoing and kid-friendly. Simple crowd-pleasers like cheese manakish, potatoes with cheese, eggs, and mild wraps suit younger palates. There is no specific kids menu, but the staples are familiar and shareable; just avoid peak brunch if your crew needs extra time and space.
