    Waitress could have been more attentive as we were the only people in the restaurant for a late lunch.  She disappeared and then when I asked about some sauce for the food, she said they don’t have any sauce, not even hot sauce How does a Turkish restaurant not have any spicy sauce?  After a bit of discussion, the other waiter brought me back a garlic mayonnaise. The food is good and the ambience is nice. The lunch menu has some good options.

    Our waitress knew we were celebrating our 36th Anniversary and was so sweet to congratulate us when she was seating us. The food was delicious. We definitely will be returning. Thank you for making our anniversary celebration so special.

    Nothing about this restaurant is worthy of a Positive recommendation. The food was bland, uninspired, and oddly not Mediterranean. We had a table of 4 and all ordered what we were told were “house specialties”. Nothing seemed fresh and all the fish was over cooked & over priced for what we got. The service was horrendous. We had 2 separate servers (as I think one was cut due to it being a slow Saturday night). Neither was knowledgeable about the menu or even interested in serving us. They didn’t clear plates between courses and asked us if we wanted to order dessert before of main even came out. To top off the night they added a 20% tip to our bill on a 4 top. Save your money - there are much better options than this place. We won’t be back

    We are 4 women for lunch . I bit surprised at the price’s especially for lunch. High. It was a Monday at 2:00 and we were the only people there First came very good bread and oil with cheese I ordered the 3 tapas. Very filling took 2 home. Others had the meatball casserole Sakshouka and a flatbread. All were good the sakshouka needed a bread to scoop Service We asked for a beverage menu and never saw our waitress until the meal was over. They do supply water to the table. Warning. The bill for a Party of 4 will included a service charge of 20%. We thought that was for using a credit card but after much explaining it was for tip. So good was good but pricy and service was so so.
