位於Maple Lawn​的優質地中海料理​餐廳

We arrived at 8 pm for reservation. Hostess informed us several tables were still clearing out and that she would text us when the table was ready. We hung out at the bar area, which was very nice. Excellent old-fashioned cocktail with just the right combination of bitters and sweetness. At 830, our table still wasn't ready. The manager apologized and offered us a large round table in the bar area. While it was noisier in this area, the ambiance was quite nice. They had a guitarist playing acoustic as well. The food was excellent, including oysters, sea bass, and braised short rib. Ojai vineyards 2016 pinot noir was terrific and decanter provided. The manager also provided us with a complimentary glass of wine for our troubles. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for small groups, special occasions, or even to grab a quick bite at the bar while watching a sporting event.

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.

Hostess that greeted us remembered me from calling in weeks ago about my reservation. Nice to be remembered. Beautiful atmosphere, food presentation was well done, food quality was excellent prepared well and to top it off belly dancer for a 20 minute show. However, I felt audience participation was too long and ended up detracting from the experience. Wait to receive our food was longer than anticipated or desired and not as attentive as we would have liked.

First time here and it was a great experience. We liked all the food we had. As starters octopus and beef tartare (not really classic way of preparing it, has a lot of tomato sauce, but tasty). Mains were mushroom souvlaki, half chicken and shrimp. All wonderful. No space for dessert. Will try next time, because there definitely will be a next time.

Food was excellent. Attractive venue, great service. Recommended to friends.
