I cannot say enough great things about this neighborhood gem- we drive an hour from the suburbs, and it’s worth it every time. High quality food made with love, exceptional service, cozy atmosphere on a winter evening, and the live piano music is a lovely touch. If you’ve been to Turkey, you know this food and hospitality is the real deal!!

Great experience. We started with the bite size apps: delicious. We then had the oysters: outstanding. Next was the Caesar for two: not my favorite. Too much lemon and way too much anchovies. Next time I would definitely ask for very little lemon and no anchovies or maybe one smashed in the dressing. We ordered filet mignon with the mushrooms and mashed potatoes- outstanding! Great service from Rory, thank you!

The food was soooo good! Loved the Leek & Egg plant, Shrimp cocktail, and french onion fondue. Steaks were delicious and cooked to perfection. The sides of fries, Cauliflower, whipped potatoes, and mushrooms were to die for! Needless to say we didn’t make it to dessert, but the service was impeccable and overall it was sooo great!
