    Appetizers (hummus and shakshouka), bread, and the baklava were great! Traditional Pizza was fair. Entrees were a bit too salty (grilled octopus and the shank). Octopus was a bit overcooked too. The slowed cooked beef entree was good.

    Delicious food, not your average Mediterranean restaurant, more Turkish style, delicious kebabs. Dining room is very nice but the best was the service, it was excellent!

    We will never go back here. Fortunately we were not hungry. My husband ordered steak and he got these few little pieces of steak for $40. I got fish for $33 and very little vegetables. We eat out 4 times a week and once in a while this kind of thing happens but not too often.

    Great place! We tried Aspendos for the first time on the recommendation of friends and it did not disappoint. Food was creative, unique, and delicious. Portions were generous, service excellent, and at a very reasonable price point. We can’t wait to go back!

    We were offered a table by the window. When I told the restaurant that we were celebrating a birthday, they surprised us at the end by bringing out our dessert with a lighted candle and the staff sang Happy Birthday. Did I mention that the food was outstanding - the zucchini salad and the mushroom entree were excellent; complex flavors, not too salty. The lamb shank was okay. We went on a Saturday so unfortunately there was no lunch menu. And this place is expensive. I would go again but only for special occasions.

    This was our first time dining at this restaurant. Murat, pardon the spelling, was very attentive, kind, and delightful. There was very nice background music of cover songs, and the place was clean and well decorated in the Mediterranean theme. The food was incredibly fresh, and the presentation was visually appealing. The menu was very unique and had a lot of options. The only downside was that the portions of protein were not very substantial. Other than that, this place was fantastic and we are looking forward to returning and would recommend everyone give it a try!
