This was our first visit on a Saturday evening and we were glad we made reservations as it was packed yet still maintained a great atmosphere. Our male server Burak was very attentive, professional, and very friendly. We ordered the Lavash with the mixed appetizer - tabouli, Mediterranean salsa, hummus, and Haydari. Chicken and Beef Kabobs as our entrees. Their signature cocktail Istanbul Peach Martini and a glass of Autorotas Sauvignon Blanc. As always the Lavash was amazing as was the Kabobs. The Kabobs came with a scoop of white rice, potatoes and a great salad with no lettuce, just marinated tomatoes. Cucumber, onion with herbs.

The dining room is nice, a bit quirky as it is an old train station. Our waitress was pleasant and was happy to answer any questions we had. Food from the kitchen was a tad slow, but it was a Saturday night and they were slammed. We were told we had to order the bread with the assortment of cold appetizer spreads and that really was fantastic. Piping hot bread, huge and an assortment of 4 dishes to go with it. All were tasty, especially the hummus. This alone is worth the journey to find this place. I had the lamb kofte, which are flattened meatballs usually cooked like a kebob. I was served a large portion and they tasted delicious, plenty to bring home. The other diners with me enjoyed their chicken kabob, falafel and kabob wrap. We thought the prices were fair for such generous portions. We will try again if in the area. Give this place a try if you have been sitting on the fence like me.

The only thing that could really stand a bit of improvement is the time from order to arrival. But if the tradeoff is less quality on the eating experience then I'm happy to wait.

My wife and I have close to or more than 1000 dining experiences in our time together. If Cava wasn't the best overall, it was an extremely close second. Our server Dan was awesome from start to finish. On point, Attentive, professional, and exceeded expectations on every level. Cava is a very intimate dining experience with a warm comfortable indoor and outdoor seating option. It is also very practical as a stop before going to the Music Hall, an important date or like us an anniversary. Cava is unlike many of the places we have visited over the years in the food category. Every course was exceptionally prepared, thoroughly thought out and professionally executed with excellent plating. I won't go into detail on every dish but suffice it to say there was enjoyment with every mouthful of every course. I ordered: Espresso Martini An Italian Pinot Grigio (with dinner) We shared the charcuterie plate First course - Mussels Second Course - Italian Meatball dish Third Course - Braised Flank Steak Fourth Course - Torte My wife ordered: A wonderful Rum with blackberry cocktail An Italian Pinot Grigio(with dinner) First Course- Warm Potato Soup Second Course- Stuffed and wrapped dates Third Course- Shrimp with Polenta Fourth Course- Blueberry Cheesecake

The service was good. A touch slow on drinks and I think our server forgot to put in one of our meals...it came out quite a while after the rest of the dishes. She was such a sweetheart though and they squeezed us in when they were really busy, so I couldn't dock a star for that because everything else was amazing. The drinks were delicious. The FOOD! Oh my gosh, it was all SO GOOD! Calamari, steak tips, chicken, eggplant lasagna, gyro and baked scallops were all winners. The scallops though! I could go on and on about how wonderful the food was.

Turkish restaurant during the day ... Rowdy party bar at night a great time…read more We got a plate of grape leaves and a chicken Kebab and falafel dinner. My husband was particularly excited by how the rice was made. The grape leaves were good and the dinners came with the red cabage and salad. Delicious. I also got the Raki, because I was having Turkish food, but all the cocktails sounded very good. We did not sit in the bar, but they sounded like they were having the time of their lives in there. At one point Rod Stewart came on over the speakers and you could hear them shouting "ROD!!!" I was like, shit - Turkish food AND the regulars love Rod Stewart? Sign me up! If we lived anywhere near here, we'd be back.

From the…read moremoment I walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and efficient--something I always appreciate, especially at a busy casual spot. I ordered the Zeus gyro along with a side of fries. The fries came out piping hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. They were crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and honestly some of the better fries I've had in a while. A great start to the meal. The gyro itself had great flavor--the ingredients were fresh, the toppings were vibrant, and the seasoning was spot on. Unfortunately, it was lukewarm when it reached the table. The taste was good enough that I kept going, but I couldn't help but think how much better it would have been served hot. A gyro with that much potential deserves to come out at full temperature, and I was disappointed that it didn't quite get there. That said, the overall experience was still positive. The friendliness of the staff and the quality of the ingredients make me believe this was probably an off moment in the kitchen. I'd definitely give them another shot because the foundation is clearly solid--and when that gyro comes out hot, I'm sure it'll be fantastic. Worth a visit, and worth trying again.

Oh boy... where do I start? My wife and I went to Tino's for our anniversary and it was a disaster…read more I expected to spend upwards of $200 but I didn't expect the appetizer portions to be made for a toddler at a premium price. To start, we ordered the drinks fresh air feeling with melon and lemonade and the fizz and flower with hibiscus, lime and ginger ale ($15 each?). To eat we ordered the pan seared scallops ($21), the mushroom arancini ($14), the sticky pork belly ($15) and the heritage rib eye ($65) for the entree. The fizz and flower was delicious, but only after you mix it. They don't tell you that, so when we took our first sip it wasn't good at all. As for the fresh air feeling... its was barely a lemonade. It lacked the lemonade flavor you'd expect from one. Then we waited 40 minutes before the waitress asked us whether we had gotten any of our food after she had walked by our table multiple times. Five minutes later, we got our first appetizer (mezze) the sticky pork belly. The presentation was nice, but it was two small pieces of pork belly sitting on top of a tiny piece of corn bread with a sauce. When I took my first bite I tasted nothing but salt and the meat was dry. At this point I was super hungry so I forced it down and chased it with the "lemonade". Five minutes later we finally got the rest of our food. On one plate there were 3 pieces of arancini. I think they forgot the mushrooms and made them with white rice only because they had absolutely no flavor. They weren't even salted and all I could taste was the bland rice and frying oil. On the other plate were 4 pieces of scallops and a piece of bone with marrow in the middle with a brown mushroom demi sauce all over. This was overly salted and not what I expected from a scallop dish. Scallops are supposed to be light and flavorful, not heavy and salty. The last item was the ribeye... at this point I was excited to eat something with substance because the portions up to this point were small and this one was pretty large. I order my ribeyes medium rare, because thats the only acceptable way to eat a ribeye. What I got was a medium well steak with no flavor in the meat. All of the flavor was burnt onto the ribeye and the sauce that was poured over it tasted like it was burnt as well. Choking that steak down was depressing and I had to stop after eating a few pieces. This entire time the waitress did not stop by our table to ask us how the food was or if we needed anything else. When she stopped by to ask us if we wanted dessert we asked for our check and a to-go box. I will NEVER go back there nor will I ever recommend Tino's Kitchen to anyone. This was the worst experience I have had in a long time and wouldn't want anyone else to go through what we did. Like I said, I was ready to spend $200 that night, but that quickly turned into us wanting to leave as quickly as possible. Not sure how anyone else can rate this place 3 stars let alone 5 stars. The best part of the night was being able to spend time with my wife, just wish the food could have been enjoyable too.
