   Having dined her several times in past month, I found most of the meat and eggplant dishes very satisfying..desserts however—esp with ice cream—somewhat meh. Cleverly creative cocktails, though

   The restaurant is very welcoming and the hostesses were very nice! Our waiter was very attentive with great suggestions for our table! We ordered several dishes for the table and enjoyed all of them! The 3pm in Istanbul was delicious! Definitely a great spot for Mediterranean food!!

   Food was delicious! Definitely would come back and recommend to friends. Lamb shank was incredibly tender and flavorful. Loved the eggplant dishes, especially the crispy eggplant. Also loved the branzino, there were a solid half dozen additional dishes I would have loved to try. Chocolate cake was just ok.

   Always incredible food and service! Even though the restaurant gets super busy, we’ve generally been seated at tables that allowed for conversation.

   This restaurant was so disappointing. It is on a corner near a very vibrant homeless encampment. Do. Not. Walk. The hostess stand had 7 people behind it but it took too long for us to be acknowledged. We were seated and our server was Elizabeth. It is so loud inside and there was an elderly woman asleep on the bench near the hostess stand. My guest ordered a red wine and I tried a cocktail 3pm Instanbul. White wine was delivered and when we tried to get the correct wine our server said NO you ordered white. Umm ok. The cocktail flavor profile was good but it was too syrupy. We ordered the beet salad, labneh and hummus with a cold meat on top. We did not receive the beet salad and were told we never ordered it. The appetizers were alright the bread has too much cornstarch and was crisp like a cracker. The bar seemed to have a vibe but we didn’t get to receive what we ordered and left after the two appetizers. Very disappointing. I’m a huge fan of Jose Andres but I would neither recommend or return.

   We had such a memorable and amazing dinner. Everything was prepared to perfection, delicious, and timely. The servers were knowledgeable and timely with refills and service. We had a wonderful experience all around. The only mildly not favorable note is that the place is incredibly loud.
