Vibe: Cozy yet bustling scene

With its cozy, chic, modern decor, Istanbul Grill California & Catering offers an elegant atmosphere while still maintaining its hip, upscale, local hotspot buzz. However, a romantic, quiet night might not be on the cards; it gets loud when busy and sadly, they lack an alcohol license.

  • Great Ambiance

    Cozy, chic, modern decor enhances dining experience, creating elegant atmosphere.

  • Bad For Dates

    Too loud when busy, not conducive to quiet, romantic dining.

Perks: Convenience needs a boost

The restaurant delivers excellent service; the staff are friendly, prompt and the restaurant can manage large groups well. The outdoor seating area is pet-friendly and the kids menu is a hit, making dining a positive experience for all. However, parking is limited and noise levels often high.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodates large groups well with spacious seating and great service.

  • Okay Outdoor

    Spacious but on a busy corner, pleasant weather improves experience.

  • Hard To Hear

    Too loud, makes conversation difficult, overly noisy for atmosphere.
