    The food was excellent. We had the Kofte and the Lamb shish. Both were cooked well, presented well, and included a large side of rice and salad. The wait staff kept the water glasses full and were attentive without being overly attentive. However, the appetizer did not come until after the main dishes. The purpose of the 20% service charge was unclear, so we were unsure whether and what to tip. Better communication could resolve the few issues we encountered.

    Lili was the most gracious server, and the food itself was excellent, especially the branzino, the peppers and the ezme. Artichoke also stood out, and dessert (the one in the baklava family) was the perfect capstone. Ambience is pacific and minimalist; very restful evening. Recommend!
