What User likes about Isot Mediterranean Cuisine:
This charming restaurant serves delicious traditional Turkish cuisine in a cozy atmosphere. The menu features a wide variety of dishes, including some rare finds. We started with a delightful appetizer—make sure to request spoons to fully enjoy the fantastic yogurt-based sauce!

What ArtLawyer doesn't like about Isot Mediterranean Cuisine:
This restaurant is not what it once was. They forgot to provide napkins, and the service was terrible. I asked them to exclude allergens from my meal, but they still included them. The food was either dry or chewy, and the only redeemable item was the hummus, which was good. Unfortunately, everything else was disappointing. Additionally, the seating was ripped and stained. I won't be returning. View all feedback.

The service was very poor. We waited an hour just for appetizers and then they brought the wrong dish. Food was good but overall experience was not sadly.
