    The Resturant is large with high ceilings and open areas. The service was great and our drinks were Perfect. I tried their Winter Spice Margarita- my new favorite. The menu has great selection of pizza, pasta sandwiches, salads and unique main dishes. Appetizers and main dishes were delicious and were ready in no time. We will be going back there for sure.

    As always service was excellent. Arugula salad very tasty. My lobster ravioli was very good but a bit rich for me. I should have chosen something else, but that is on me and not because the dish wasn't very good. Wife had the Festa di Mare. They did offer the Cleopatra but that is a lot of food (we have had before and will have again - but not tonight). Also excellent. Finished off with Tiramisu which is one of the best if not the best around.

    Like most restaurants these days, Anatolian was understaffed so the service was not great. But they tried to be prompt and we appreciated their effort.
