Named for a mountain in Morocco, this lavishly decorated restaurant serves up sophisticated Mediterranean cuisine. The main dining room features a giant communal table for family-style sharing; the exotic dome-shaped Crescent Room can be rented for private parties of up to 25 people, with a prix-fixe menu. Diners looking for a lighter meal or something to nibble as they sip a Rockin' Moroccan (vodka, lime juice, sugar, mint and soda) can order dishes like duck confit salad off the tapas menu, served in the restaurant's lounge. Belly dancers perform on Sunday nights.
