We were expecting a lovely meal but the creativity and craftsmanship of the plates exceeded every expectation. From the lamb heart to the beef tongue to the bread and butter(with parsley oil) prepared to perfection. Highly recommend this innovative mezze (meze) restaurant with creative cocktails and a lovely ambiance. Cannot say enough good things about the FOH as well:knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful, and patient. Thank you for a wonderful culinary experience. The one thing I did not like is the entrance off the street: it has a step up and then three steps down. Very unsafe.

Eylul, our server was brilliant, helpful, knowledgeable, and so welcoming and warm. She spoke perfect English, which was so nice as we had so many questions about the food and wine. On the food, it was all wonderful, but the Tuna Kadayif was the star of the show for me. We have the tasting menu and got a taste of 12 dishes over a 2 hour period. Was wonderful. Can't say a bad thing about the whole experience. We will return.
