      Hello Library: Last evening (9/11) when I attempted to use the 10% offer at the Pentagon City location of Lebanese Taverna, the staff there were not aware of this discount being offered. They awarded me the discount after I showed them the library email I had received announcing it and after consulting with their management, but I got the sense it was a one-time concession. You may want to reach out to the restaurant again to confirm the offer. They have great food and I appreciate the library supporting this promotion, but communication seems to have broken down somewhere on implementing this. Thank you!

        Hi Meg,
        Thank you for letting us know about your experience last night – we have contacted Lebanese Tavenra to make sure that all staff at the participating locations are made aware of the offer.

    Yes this is a great promotion! Love it!

    Delighted to see quality restaurants like Gaijin and Lebanese Taverna adopting this promotion. An exceptional meal is guaranteed at either. I’m looking forward to trying a couple others with which I’m less familiar.
