When we first walked in, it was busy and we heard the hostess tell the couple in front of us they would need to wait over an hour for a table - Lucky for me my wife made reservations and we were seated immediately! It was a bit on the noisy side but not so bad we couldn't have a conversation. Our servers, Thomas, was fantastic start to finish with good recommendations, attentive service without being overbearing, and a great personality. Good staff make a business shine! We started with glasses of wine and were impressed with how generous they poured. Perhaps it was a visual illusion, but they felt like very large glasses of wine and made it feel like a very good value. They have a good selection of wines to choose from along with a full bar. Appetizer was the Crab Cake Egg Rolls, something I don't think I've seen anywhere else. They're cooked in Beef Tallow which gave a very savory flavor and crispy texture. They were a bit on the oily side but overall flavor was delicious, and I really liked the dipping sauce which was like a very herb-heavy tartar sauce. For entrees, my wife had the Filet and I had a New York Strip. I don't have the words to describe how delicious and perfectly prepared both of these were. I didn't even bother asking for steak sauce because the perfectly tender and seasoned steak didn't need it. Nobody wants to pay high prices for a steak and receive something low quality, and I was thrilled with the quality of the steaks here. Surrounding tables likewise had great looking meals and I overheard them voicing pleasure too. As sides go, the baked potatoes and salads were excellent too. I got the hot bacon vinegarette dressing and was surprised it was actually served quite hot. It had a really rich and slightly tangy flavor that was unique and I really enjoyed on my salad. I have no complaints here and will absolutely be back. Of course it's on the pricey end, but this is the type of establishment you reserve for a special night out, not your average Tuesday night. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed!

To be fair none of us ordered steak... at a steakhouse, so that could have been our issue. Our server was really friendly and attentive.

The entrees were also great and would definitely order them again. The meatballs were huge and probably could have been an entree themselves. The ambiance was beautiful with slightly dim lights and felt very romantic. They also have free parking at the back of the restaurant. We will definitely be back.

Party of 3 were seated promptly by hostess with immediate table service provided by very competent & knowledgable staff! I started with a glass of J Lohr Chardonnay & gazpacho followed by Atlantic Salmon, spouse had Chicken Alfredo, and teen had Lobster ravioli. The gazpacho was very interesting with an effervescent (soda water) twist! It could have used some additional acid (lemon or lime?), but balsamic and olive oil toppers were excellent accompaniments. Fresh tomato & cucumber was good, but felt it needed some fresh diced veg to elevate the dish more. All mains were excellent in flavor, temperature & textures. I'd recommend focusing on the mains and to ignore desserts. We were quite pleased with the portion size.

This is a must visit!!!!!…read more I have been wanting to come here forever and tonight my friends and I had a girls night here and everything was excellent; the food, the ambiance, the service, the drinks....all top tier! Firstly, sitting outside was the first great move. The in wall "fake" fireplaces were so cozy and the table decor was simple but charming. The tables were spaced nicely as well. You can see outside as well so you don't feel claustrophobic. Our waiter, Josh, honestly made our visit. He was kind, courteous, and friendly! He described all of meals so well and made excellent recommendations. He made us feel like we were VIP! We all talked and believe he may be the best waiter we have ever had! Thank you Josh! The food, ahhhhh the food. We started with bread service, a must. The butter and bread were both soft and delectable. We got a goat cheese tart that was melt in your mouth and had excellent flavors. I ordered the duck breast with cabbage, polenta and figs and it was cooked to perfection!! Lastly, I finished it off with the chocolate mousse cake by Josh's recommendation....i will have dreams of this cake. Just get it! My drink, the house cab, paired perfectly with everything. My girlfriends orders scallops and shrimp and their plates were cleared and they both said that meal couldn't be topped. MORAL OF THE STORY.....come here, sit outside, order the food (all three courses, don't be shy), order the drinks, ask for Josh and enjoy yourself! You won't regret it!

The appetizers were delicious and I love the fact that the menu rotates and has the date printed on the top. My favorite dish was my husband's, he ordered the antelope which was a very unique but flavorful dish. I also really enjoyed their approach to calamari- it was light and fresh and truly delicious. I was a bit disappointed in the risotto because the rice was hard, however, the scallops were perfectly cooked and the flavor was amazing. The crème brûlée for dessert was another big highlight! Overall, I really enjoyed the quiet atmosphere of the restaurant and the high class service!

There was no one at the hostess stand, so I seated myself at the bar. After about 5 min a waiter came and told me that the bartender had to leave due to an emergency . I said okay, I understand . Can I still sit here and order dinner? The waiter said "YOU COULD....... But it's going to be a very long wait" there were probably 6 seated tables in the entire restaurant. So, I stood up , said thank you, and left . I was very surprised that they wouldn't be eager to serve a meal on a relatively slow night. What's the difference if I wanted to sit at the bar as opposed to one of their many open tables? As a single woman, sitting at the bar alone is much more comfortable than sitting at a table alone. Not sure I'll go back, but it certainly smelled good,

The fried mushrooms are an absolute must-try. I usually pair them with their marinara sauce, which has a wonderfully deep, rich tomato flavor--it's so good that I'm certain it would be incredible on a bowl of pasta. Speaking of pasta, the Greek Spaghetti is delicious and one of my favorites on the menu. One thing to note is the portion sizes; they are quite large! I can almost always split my meal in half and have a second lunch for the next day. I also tried the pizza recently--the crust is very unique and worth a try if you like experimenting, though my personal heart still belongs to a traditional NY-style thin crust. Overall, it's a great local spot with friendly staff and satisfying food. I'll definitely be back!

Our server was great; she was very attentive, checking in on us and refilling our waters when needed. Our food came out quickly, and it was fresh and delicious. My spouse ordered the Duram Adana, which was full of flavor, and was definitely spicy. Our only critique was that it came with a bag of chips, though you can get a different side for an upcharge. We shared the Mixed Appetizer plate, which came with hummus, baba ganoush, piyaz, grape leaves, and fresh pita. The baba ganoush was beautifully smoky, and the pita was pillow-y soft.

I began working for myself around that time and don't eat out much anymore but I do occasionally still make it in when I meet friends or family for lunch. I've noticed a more prominent social media presence lately and in those posts Turkish pizza, pide, was featured. I'm in! We started our dinner with an order of falafel. It's one of my favorite dishes and I make it at home occasionally. My husband ordered the Adana Kebab and I of course just had to try the pide. The choices were only beef or spinach so spinach it was, since we had beef with the other entree. We almost always eat half and switch plates, so we can try several things and this was no exception. As always the adana was delicious, I just love the seasonings in the meat. The tabouleh was very different than I remembered though, consisting of way more greens than much of anything else so the flavor just wasn't the best for me. The pide was yummy, simple and flavorful, a perfect size for a lunch portion in my opinion. Filling but you wouldn't be stuffed. The staff were very attentive and as always, the owner made a few rounds in the dining room. It's great to see a local business standing the test of time and still cranking out good eats!
