So, we decided to meet up at Cafesano one Friday evening. When I first entered Cafesano, the…read moreatmosphere was very lively, yet intimate. After locating my friend, we discussed her recommended dishes since she frequented Cafesano. She eventually stated that I wouldn't be disappointed with the skewers, so, I decided to commit to the Steak and Shrimp Skewers. With the busyness of the Friday crowd, I expected there to be a wait time with ordering our meals, however, the order line essentially was non-existent, which was a win. The cashier was nice and efficient. However, when it was time for my food to come out, it took quite a bit of time. But, eventually my food came out fresh off the stove, which I appreciated. On to the taste of the dish. Unfortunately, with the promising words from my friend paired with the reviews, my expectations for this dish may have been quite high, causing immediate disappointment. I sadly felt like everything on my plate lacked flavor. The meat could have been seasoned/marinated better giving a more flavorful skewer experience. The portion size was good and price was very affordable. As it pertains to parking, the options were abundant.

Ventured out for a change of scenery and decided to try Ivy by the Lake. We arrived around 8:30 PM,…read moreand the ambiance was really nice-- really cute spot with good music. We ordered the hummus and pita, which were excellent. The hummus was incredibly creamy and smooth--one of two the most memorable I've had--and the pita was full of flavor and extremely soft. I ordered the Chapli Kabab Burger, which was just okay for me. It comes with two patties, making it a bit too heavy, and while it had some spice, it lacked depth of flavor and had more jam than I preferred. The Brussels sprouts were heaven sent, and the hookah was very smooth. Service was good--nothing standout, but nothing negative either. A DJ came on later in the night, which added to the atmosphere and made it lively and allowing us to talk comfortably. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I'd definitely go back.

The food was overpriced, mediocre, and had small portion sizes. The service was not good either,…read moreWOULD NOT RECOMMEND. Food: We started with the Batata Harra, which was described as "Fried Potatoes Tossed In An Irresistible Fragrant Peppers & Spices", what we got was cubed fries with not much seasoning, that started the disappointment which became much worse when we got our mains. I got the chicken kebab, which was $24 for 5 small chicken pieces, rice, and a salad FLOODED with dressing. I was disappointed with the small portion size of chicken and the pool of dressing on the salad which leaked to the rest of my food as I ate. My girlfriend got the Lobster and Prawn Risotto and for $39 we were extremely disappointed. We got 2 prawns and a little bit of lobster, for $39 I expected more than that, and it was the worst thing I've ever tried at a restaurant. Didn't try the desserts since the food wasn't good so can't say much on that, but they looked overpriced. Service: For a restaurant charging this much for food, you expect good service. The appetizer was delivered with my food, and then my girlfriends food came out 5 minutes later. The appetizer was warm so I assume she didn't realize it was ready and then when my food was ready it was just brought out together. When we started eating our food we finished our water, the waitress did not ask us if we enjoyed our food or app, just quickly grabbed the water and replaced it without saying a word. If a restaurant is charging this much I expect better service than that. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is probably better during the nightlife, seems they have a dj booth. I gave it 3 stars because when we walked in it smelt kind of weird (not from the hookah), and they were playing MSNBC on both TVs.

I've also had the chicken samosas, which were excellent and I would order in a heartbeat. I especially like this as a safe stop during travel.

I'm a local customer and live just a minute away, so I've visited more than once. I came in for lunch today with my wife and our 1.5-year-old son. After placing our order and sitting down, the server loudly yelled from behind the counter for us to come get our water. It felt uncomfortable and unprofessional, especially with a young child. When I placed my order, I asked for extra white sauce, and I asked again when the food came out. Both times, the request was ignored. I also mentioned that we hadn't received our drinks, but instead of addressing it, the server again yelled for us to get the drinks ourselves from the cooler. The food itself was okay, but the bread was very poor--hard and barely edible. I even called the restaurant later in the evening to share my concerns, but was told the server was off at that time. Overall, very disappointing experience, mainly due to the customer service. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and leads to improvement.

The food was flavorful and well-prepared, with fresh ingredients that brought out authentic Mediterranean tastes. Some dishes were particularly impressive, while a few could have used a little more seasoning. The restaurant has a cozy, inviting atmosphere, making it a great spot for a casual dinner. The staff was friendly and attentive, though service slowed slightly during busy times. Overall, Anatolian Bistro offers tasty food and a pleasant dining environment. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for Mediterranean cuisine and would gladly return.
