    The 7-course prix fixe menu at Taksim is a splendid offering. Great flavors and dishes you don't normally find. The patlican (eggplant) and blackened cauliflower were standouts for us. Choose the beef over the branzino. It's a much better dish all around. I don't usually eat dessert but the Taksim donuts were not too sweet or too large and served with chocolate ice cream, five-spice chocolate and chantilly. Delicious! The restaurant is off the beaten path but it's worth making a trip down Fourth Street.

    Always excellent service and food! This hotel is a great place to stay, but the restaurant is also a neighborhood gem! The longtime staff are professional and friendly, and the restaurant shares a kitchen with the excellent Luce, meaning you’re likely to get a great meal! Reliably great place to spend your time, funds and calorie buget🤪
