We have been to Istanbul Sofra a few times and it has consistently been amazing. The food, service, and the fact that the owners actually care about their customers cannot be beat. The manager truly does take pride in the restaurant. Even on a busy Saturday night he is always walking around and talking to every table to make sure that the good and service are exceeding everyone's expectations. On one occasion my husband wanted to order a particular lamb dish and the manager actually told him that he did not want to sell it to him b/c it wouldn't be as good as it should be due to a delivery error from the food vendor. He then recommended another dish that was fantastic. The portions here are also generous and we never have room for dessert. I also love the fact that it's BYOB. If you haven't tried this place, do it now! You won't be disappointed.
