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.

We had a party of 6 to celebrate 2 birthdays. The server (Clyde?) was very knowledgeable and made great suggestions. Every dish was delicious and interesting. The hummus and the burrata appetizers were excellent. The lamb shank and lobster main dishes were absolutely fantastic. The table was very intimate and beautiful. We enjoyed every aspect of our evening.
