Unfortunately, it was too cold, otherwise, this looks like the perfect place for sitting outside on the patio with a view of the river, open air and energetic city vibes.

Very disappointed with the whole meal. Fireworks we're awesome!

The restaurant did not honor our gift card. They also did not call my husband back when he wanted to speak to a manager. read more The restaurant did not honor our gift card. They also did not call my husband back when he wanted to speak to a manager.

My dinner companion and I were last there three years ago during another Golden State Warriors playoff series and it was time to return. Our meal started with a complimentary, fragrant and tasty loaf of home baked bread. We split both appetizers, including Piyaz $10), a type of fava bean salad, and Halikarnas $14), a delicious dish with fish, prawns, and scallops in a picante red sauce. Of the two, we both felt that the Halikarnas was a “we must try this again” selection. We also shared our main courses shown in photos): salmon filet $22), which was cooked to order, and the “Bird’s Nest” $18), a delicious vegetarian combination served in – you guessed it – noodles in the shape of a bird’s nest. Both entrees were excellent. Our waiter, Deniz, provided the excellent service we have always come to expect at Pera. Our total bill, including tax and tip, came to a reasonable $42 per person. Highly recommended!

This is a relaxed spot for enjoying Turkish and Greek cuisine. We visited for brunch, and everything was quite enjoyable. read more This is a relaxed spot for enjoying Turkish and Greek cuisine. We visited for brunch, and everything was quite enjoyable.
