                                        Delicious Turkish food. We got four mezzes, kopoglu, manti, octopus, and hummus. Branzino was soft and tender which paired well with the Bibb lettuce salad. Lamb chops were juicy. Loved the ambience. Service was friendly and they sang a birthday song at the end.

My girlfriend and I did their version of a chef’s tasting menu, and man we were in for a treat! Very good portions for two people and timing at which the appetizers, entrees, and desserts came in was very good! Would definitely recommend and we will come back again!

                                        The food was delicious and service was great. The staff was very knowledgeable when we had questions about the menu. We had the shrimp with artichoke, hummus with beef, salted fish, and octopus. The bread they offer is 10/10. We loved it so much we asked for some to go. We asked for spirit forward cocktails and were given just that. I will definitely be going back to try entrees.

                                        We had reserved an outdoor table because indoor was fully booked. However outside area wasn’t nice and we decided to sit at the bar. I kindly asked the staff to let us know if there was a no show within reservations and move us to a table if possible. Although there were at least two open tables (we were two and the tables were for two) within the whole time we were there, they didn’t move us.
