Another great meal at Open Sesame!!! Chloe is the best server!!! I can't speak about the rest of the service staff since we've only been there twice, but today we sat in Chloe's section and she's awesome, very attentive and extremely personable!!! I had The Sultan and Neil had lamb chops. Both were fabulous!!! The lamb and filet mignon in The Sultan dish were cooked perfectly!!!

Absolutely delish!!! Well worth the drive. Shwarma, baba ghanoush, tabouli and Moroccan iced tea were all outstanding.
