The service was wonderful and we felt so taken care of. It was our anniversary and they gave us complementary Prosecco! We got the tasting menu which is extremely fairly priced. Every single thing was amazing. Favorites were the ezme crunch, blackened cauliflower, crispy shrimp, mantı, and the branzino- so fresh and perfectly crispy skin. Afiyet olsun!

                                                                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.

I started with two cocktails that were quite inventive and might have been bitter had they not balanced them properly. As it was, they were both quite nice. The cauliflower cream soup was very very lightly spiced but was smoooth and had enough flavor to give a great aftertaste. The lamb chops were perfect! And the service was solicitous yet not pompous. Go to Taksim!
