    If you are looking for a cozy atmosphere, great food and excellent service, then look no further. We have been coming to OTMC for a decade and have never been disappointed. I am usually a steak guy, but tried the scallop/risotto dinner and it was fantastic. Looking forward to our next visit.

    A true gem! This was our first visit but we've already decided it won't be our last. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, the atmosphere was cozy, and the menu's Turkish parts a surprise (to me, anyway). So with great relish, Batgirl and I each ordered a Turkish dish we'd never heard of before. Both of us were happily rewarded. Highly recommend this place if you have the opportunity. It
