I recently dined at a charming Turkish Mediterranean restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with earthy tones and traditional touches that made for a cozy setting. The menu featured a great variety of fresh, flavorful dishes, from savory kebabs to tender lamb and perfectly seasoned mezze. The hummus and babaganoush were standout appetizers, while the baklava offered a sweet, rich finish to the meal. Service was attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Turkish Mediterranean cuisine!

We had a fabulous time at our dinner. While we thought our empanadas were delicious, the steak flight for two was the highlight, along with the pisco sours. Our sides (we got asparagus and the truffled fingerling potatoes) were very good, but I will probably explore others on the list next time we go. But how could they shine next to the steak? We were there on a Saturday night when they had live music, and that elevated the whole experience to be super vibey and extra fun. We had churros for dessert just to stay longer and enjoy, and they were also delicious. We will definitely be back!
