    This is truly a one of a kind dining experience in DC. Some of the best service I’ve had. Our server was attentive, but didn’t hover and was so kind. We were able to get great recommendations on both drinks and food options. The beet salad, mushrooms, scallops, and shrimp were beyond delicious and I would highly recommend. For cocktail lovers the 3PM in Istanbul was excellent. We will certainly be going back to enjoy the atmosphere and to eat more of the tapas we were just too full to eat this time around.

    The ambience, food and service was good. The cocktails could do with an upgrade (garnish/ looks ) they were good though.

    Beautiful experience from the friendly hosts, to the delightful server, to the food all of which was perfectly delicious. We ordered the skillet cornbread, spinach dip, vegetable sandwich, goat cheese burger and fried chicken sandwich. Absolutely no complaints and they got us in and out in a little over an hour so we made it to our event right on time.

    Enjoyed a business lunch meeting on a weekday here. Initially, our table was not ready despite having a reservation so we were seated at the bar. Not a big deal, we then were moved to our table for two which was very comfortable. Service was great, food was prepared fresh and fast. I enjoyed the salad with salmon while my colleague had a chicken sandwich and fries. Interior is well designed and chic, high ceilings, although we found we could hear conversations next to us. One of many dining options nearby and certainly worth at least one visit.
