| - I made a reservation here for 4 on Friday afternoon and didn't have any difficulty getting a table at 8:30pm. The restaurant has a cool seating arrangement, with a maze of bar top level seats. Everyone is essentially sitting at a bar, but it doesn't feel like it because the rest of your party sits on the other side. They also have a private room in the back that seats about 20 people, near the bathrooms. The ambiance is warm and cozy, we sat right by the kitchen and were very comfortable. There was a coat rack near the front door.
For food we ended up eating family style and ordered a few pides, which are like Turkish pizzas but very long and narrow, and mezes. We had the Sudjuk pide which was my favorite, the kasserie cheese pide, which had nice notes of feta cheese, the homemade pita (which resembled an Indian puri), the lamb kofta (only 2 meatballs), the cornish hen (which was one thigh with a drumstick and one breast and wing- not the full hen) and the beetroot meze. Everything was delicious, but honestly a bit small for the proportions. I would have expected at least 3 meatballs, at least a full hen, and maybe more of everything else. We had a fairly light meal for around $20/ person and left wanting to try dessert elsewhere. I love the location, but might only come back to try the brunch. I wouldn't recommend it highly for dinner.
