Lord of the Wings

You guessed it... this is THE place that specializes in chicken wings. You can get all sorts of different kinds of chicken wings here, ranging from buffalo, BBQ flavored, honey mustard, and others. What's more, the wings can be ordered with a level of spiciness that, if you so choose, can range from mild, to hot, to suicide! It doesn't end there... Lord of the Wings has one of the best burgers I have ever eaten.
I presume that that is attributed to the make-it-yourself nature of choosing each of the ingredients and toppings that go into your burger, which include choices that show that those who came up with the menu spent a lot of time paying attention to detail. Such ingredients and topping for your burger include whole wheat bread, Angus beef, avocado, guacamole, a breaded mozzarella patty, and others, as well as your usual offering of condiments and such. One of the things that really did it for me to consider their burger a success is that it was served hot. That is rare. It is served to the point where it will be warm in your mouth, where, if you order the breaded mozzarella patty with it then it would slightly melting. It's just perfect, and it's something I've never experienced anywhere else, with any of the burgers I've eaten. The branch in Gemmeyzeh has one of the friendliest waiters I've come across too.
Our waiter, Nicholas, was jovial and knew how to maneuver his way to making his clients feel welcomed and at ease, and cracked a joke about needing to "take the test" so we could order.
You see when we sat down we were each given a sheet with circles next to the menu items and pencils. We needed to tick off the items that we wanted to eat and hand in the paper to the waiter to process our order, something like how taking the SATs or the TOEFL were before they became computerized.
Dessert was great too. If you're crazy for espresso and just love vanilla ice-cream, then just get the dessert that combines the two. I must have swallowed it all up in under a minute's time.

Osteria Il Mattarello

The Osteria Il Mattarello, which means "The Rolling Pin Inn" in Italian, is another restaurant where clients can sit and have a quiet meal. It's situated just off Gouraud st. in Gemmeyze.
The decor is eclectic with a curious combination of minimal design cutlery, modern furniture, futuristic speakers on the roof and black and white pictures of presumably old, famous Italians framed with ornamental Louis IV-esque frames.
What makes this restaurant different than the majority of the other Italian restaurants is that the menu is dedicated to finely cooked Italian dishes other than the typical pizza and pasta that you usually find. So much emphasis is placed on these dishes that they take up the whole menu, with the usual pizza and pasta taking up only a smaller, side mini-menu within the main menu.
Our waiter is very accommodating in deciphering the menu along with helping us choose a fine red Italian wine.
I highly suggest the wild mushroom mille feuille as an entrée, if you like fresh mushrooms, it's a flavourful dish. As a main course the veal cooked in wine was another hit. But as great as these two dishes are, nothing could prepare us for the dessert that came next, the "Bomba". The Bomba is, simply, a chocolate pizza. It comes in the form of a ball stuffed with Nutella, which is to be mashed, then cut into slices and shared, and my God how delicious it is!
Definitely a place that I'll keep coming back to, with its decent prices.
