    Chicken piccata
    Sharday J.

    Ah man! I would've loved to have given this restaurant a higher rating, and based on the great customer service and ambiance, I could have, but my chicken piccata fell incredibly flat. The chicken was so dry and hard that it tasted like it had been pre-cooked and rewarmed in the oven entirely too long. I was terribly disappointed and had to send it back. BE WARNED- this is the part that really BLEW me. Their payment machine doesn't calculate tips properly. My tab came up to $70. I tipped $15... it said that equated to 15% (which is actually over 20% of $70). The total should've been $85, but it then rang up as $89! That is super shady!!!! If you don't check your tabs, don't know how to calculate percentages properly, or even if you're like me and don't want to complain about a $4 difference, they are essentially getting over on you! How many people does this happen to? Imagine if every customer was overcharged an average of $5?!?!?! But... let me back up to the appetizer. We got crab claws. Those were delicious ~ the butter/cheese sauce they came in was rich and robust. This aroused my excitement for the remaining dishes; however, I was terribly disappointed. My mother got the halloumi salad. It lacked flavor. My green beans, which accompanied the chicken, were barely cooked. Although seasoned well, they were hard to enjoy because the ends were still on, so I was left pulling strings of rough edges out of my mouth each time I finished eating one. Maybe the chef was having an off day? I don't know...

    For our last night in Miramar Beach we wanted to try a restaurant we've never been to, so we treated ourselves to Bosforo and so glad we did. When we walked in you don't feel like you're in a strip mall. The place is decorated nicely and the stemware they use is very sturdy and nice for a martini. Appetizers: we had the ceviche of the day which was shrimp and a beet salad. Their ceviche is not the traditional ceviche you expect. It was more of an olive oil base I believe , but it was so good. It was very fresh and came with plenty of crackers. I'm not a beet person , but my friend loved it. Dinner: I chose the shrimp and polenta and OMG!!! I could have licked the bowl clean, but I had restraint. I asked if this is a permanent item on the menu and it was. My friend has the scallops and pasta. Their pasta is homemade and the scallops were perfect golden brown. We were too full to have dessert but the espresso martini had before our meal would be a great treat.

    Chicken piccata

    This was a great experience. We came in during a busy Friday night rush and the service was still speedy! In and out very satisfied in 1 hour. I had the beef tips homemade pasta, which is on the specialty menu. It is worth the $42 price tag. The meat was cooked perfectly and the pasta was some of the best I've ever had. I would order this everyday of our vacation if I could. My husband also had great things to say about his chicken piccata. The restaurant had great ambiance with low lights above tables and also at each table. The bathrooms are the only part of the building that seem to be lacking. Still clean, so not much to complain about. Overall an amazing experience and we would recommend!

    Service here was great. Server and manager were very personable. This is a cool restaurant with a nice interior. The seating was very comfortable. I had the chicken piccata which was very good! I did sub the polenta for mash. It worked out well. My wife got a Ribeye here. This was underwhelming. We love a good steak, but this one missed the mark. It was cooked properly to MR, but the flavor and quality of the cut just weren't what we hoped for. Nonetheless, we will be back to try the other entrees, as the piccata was very good! Also, their hummus is delicious!

    Out of this world delish. Every single dish, app, drink and dessert was so good. Def suggest the pasta dish.

    Crab claws appetizer (the bread did help cut into the slightly saltiness)
    Jennie T.

    Immediately greeted upon entering and seated pretty quickly. My group had gotten there shortly after they opened. Inside was nice and quiet. Well lit and the tables weren't cramped either. They had these cute little table lamps for extra ambiance and lighting. The appetizers came out pretty quickly. Personal opinion, I preferred the steak tartare over the crab claws. They were both delicious but I thought the crab claws sauce it was in was slightly too salty for me. The bread did help cut saltiness. Prior to coming, the biggest food items we were looking towards was the red snapper and the lamb shank. Other Yelp reviews highlighted them as the best you can get. At first, we were disappointed that the red snapper was no longer on the specials and so had ordered the whole Branzino instead. Our waiter (Norm?) came out and surprised us by letting us know they had one red snapper left and we were able to get it. The lamb shank was as great as everyone else had reviewed it. Super tender and practically falls off the bone. The other parts of the dish helped with the flavor contrast. The red snapper was super light and crispy. The fish meat was juicy and cooked well. I personally like capers and enjoyed it with the fish. (My friends weren't as much fans on the capers). Our waiter did check on us every now and then. My friends and I spent a lot of time catching up and chatting. The waiter came by to make sure our waters were topped off, but overall let us have privacy to chat, Excellent dinner choice.

    Homemade pasta with shrimp

    You would not know that this restaurant is in a strip mall once you walk in. It's so elegantly decorated and upscale. I was greeted immediately and sat at the bar. The bartender, Nick, was great!!!!!! EVERYTHING I ordered was delicious, fresh and seasoned to perfection!!!! I wanted to kiss the chef. I went on a Saturday evening and was disappointed they were closed (Monday and Tuesday) the remainder of my stay. I would have eaten there again on Sunday had I known. I ordered a Georgia Peach drink, homemade pasta with shrimp, and key lime pie. I'll definitely be back. THANK YOU.

    Excellent Food, excellent service, great atmosphere. Clean and nice place. The menu has both seafood and non- seafood options. Great drinks.

    The (already eaten) lamb shank

    Such an amazing find! My family of 3 shared 4 appetizers and 4 entrees and a dessert!! The food was wayyyy too good to set aside. HIGHLY recommend the lamb and and the house-made pasta. The vibe was so chic and unique. This is like no other restaurant in the area all the way down 30A.

    Shrimp & Polenta... I didn't taste this but was told was good.
    Dimitri Z.

    The owners were nice and the staff courteous. Food was timely and tastee, if a bit pricey. Has background music and I would describe it as ambient edm. Would come again but prolly ask for more Pita bread!

    Food, service, & ambiance were amazing! Our first time trying Mediterranean food and it did not disappoint! 10/10 definitely recommend!

    Best new restaurant in the Destin area. Excellent food, beverage and atmosphere. You have to try the Honey Badger cocktail.

    Overpriced and food was not good at all. Won't be going there again. Not sure why it's rated to high.
