    Very good food and reasonable prices for food and wine. We especially like the Iskander Kabob. Would have given it 5 stars., but some annoying fruit flies were at our table.

    The service was great and the food was very good. The weakest parts were the bread and baklava. The falafel appetizer was delicious as was the salad we had. We also had the Istanbul mixed grill that was amazing. The Turkish wines were nice, too. We plan to go back!

    It was Mother’s Day so busy. We were seated upstairs. It appeared that Alexa was playing music…periodically really loud commercials would play between songs. Very cheesy ambiance for the price point. 40 minute wait between appetizer and entrees was unacceptable. Food was ok but lukewarm. Service was poor, did not ask about more drinks, if we needed anything. Dessert…no thank you we wanted out. No mention of the 20% service fee on check. Many diners likely added a tip on top. There are plenty of good restaurants with good ambiance and service. I would recommend to skip Istanbul Blue until management gets serious about a dining experience, food and service.
