    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.

    Food was great, however, they changed their menu significantly and took off all the meat dishes (Iskender kebab and others). Now they only have kebabs with ground beef and chicken (no more cut meat)
