Amazing experience! Owner is so nice :) New spot that just opened one month ago! The small plates were great and paired really nicely with the wines. Really special Turkish dishes.

For John Adams, composer of contemporary operas, this symphony night, why not a new restaurant near Roy Thomson Hall. Its Mediterranean angle is Turkish and the menu was mostly appetizers or bar food that proved perfect for a pre concert meal in a compact yet elegant setting. A skewer of fried mussels in a beer batter and generous tarator sauce launched us deliciously. Cantaloupe with raki brined feta served as a palette cleanser. The phyllo flakey borek was stuffed with spinach in a yogurt sauce. Attentive friendly service clinched a return to sample the rest of the menu ... and oblige John to climb the ladder to the top layer of wine bottles reaching almost to the high ceiling.
