Meze sampler was amazing. Great flavors and fresh veggies and ingredients. I had the steak skewers which were incredible. My date had the seafood casserole which was a bit less flavorful than we expected. But still decent. Ended with pistachio baklava. Highly recommend this place

Our party of four shared the manzi and the mixed sampler for our appetizer and the Isot mix for dinner. As spectacular as the food was our waitress was even better. Her friendliness and attention to detail was spot on. We could not have asked for a better experience.

You need to ensure adequate staffing with qualified individuals. Food service was rushed. We were celebrating a special occasion. I made it clear during the online reservation. There was ZERO acknowledgement of that during our dining experience. Parking was a nightmare!

Best grilled meats (chicken, beef, kofte) we have had in years. Seasoned to perfection, tender and juicy. Accompanied by vegetables sautéed just right and by a crisp salad. Try the mix grill, the manti and the meze platter. Reasonable price (BYOB). Prompt, attentive service. We felt like home.

Their ac doesn’t cool the space properly, so we were literally sweating. Couldn’t stay, ate within 10 mins and ran out. Service is fantastic and the food is ok (food used to be great before). We just felt bad for the servers as it’s not their fault that the space wasn’t ventilated properly. Every customer was boiling, my husband experienced heat exhaustion afterwards. They have a little ac at the back of the house, which doesn’t even cool the space halfway through, let alone entirety of the area inside. Such a shame because they have real potential to do well.

Do not go on a Sat night. They clearly can’t manage their reservations. We were seated about 35 mins after our rez in the upstairs loft that shouldn’t even be used for dining. My view was of the stained wall with a hole in it. Service was beyond slow and incorrect dishes were served. I understand times are trying with limited staff but this was ridiculous. Owner was completely unapologetic. We were really excited to try this restaurant but will never go back.

Isot was very good! The decor is enchanting and food was delicious. The yogurt dill starter is one of my favorites. The lamb kebab was wonderful! They even take the meat off the kebab for you! The pita is delicious also.
