"I often come to Faz for business lunches since my office is in the same building. Food overall is very good, especially the kabobs. Service can get inconsistent, especially during the lunch rush hour. If I were to recommend a change, it would be the hostess."

"The menu was not accurate. I went twice in a month and both times had fava beans on the menu and both times when I ordered they said they were out of fava beans. The second trip, I ordered the avocado salad and they told me they were out of avocados. Thirdly, I ordered the pasta ravioli on the menu and they said they did not have that ravioli, but offered another kind of ravioli. Very disappointing experience. Not up to the Faz I know and like. Also, I thought the bread of was dry and tasteless."

"With all the competition in town, this restaurant will have to get a lot better for me to recommend and return. The setting in the old Verbana spot should work better."
