An incredible restaurant serving authentic Turkish cuisine, with a weekend brunch that’s not only delicious but rivals what you’d find in Turkey. Feride, the talented brunch chef, creates baked goods that are truly one of a kind.

International Smoke house is always a great experience! The food is consistently delicious. The hostess that greeted us was super nice, and we decided to sit at the bar before our dinner, but we ended up staying at the bar and enjoying cocktails and bar bites. It was overall a wonderful experience.

We had an incredible birthday dinner. We’ve been coming for 13 years and the food is always great, but was especially delicious tonight. The servers were friendly and attentive. The skewers are so tender and well seasoned. It’s a great spot to celebrate a special occasion or really any night.

They changed the quiet axe throwing to a loud, annoying arcade. Food is still delicious, we will continue to come in warmer weather and utilize the patio.
