Meyhouse

We decided to choose the chef's tasting menu for dinner. The food was outstanding in quality and quantity. Our servers took the necessary time to answer our questions and provide us with the best possible service. Our main entrees consisted of delicious lamb chops, tenderloin, and sea bass. I didn't recall the names of the cold and hot appetizers; but, they were also delicious.For dessert, we had baklava and Turkish style rice pudding with charred top layer. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful evening. We love the atmosphere and the service at this restaurant. It will be on our list of special restaurants places to visit with family and friends.

Cool place, nice vibe and ambiance. The servers were all friendly. I guess my biggest issue was the with the pricing/portion sizes - way to pricey for the amount of food you get. We left full but the bill was a surprise.Otherwise we had a great time and enjoyed ourselves.

After finding street parking, we made our way to the restaurant. It was quite packed and the seats are close together. The wait staff bumped into the empty chairs at our table twice. We were given a basket of bread with dip. I usually don't eat much bread, but it was crusty and soft. We started with the octopus and a beet salad. Both were excellent. The octopus was tender and I liked the added texture of pistachios in the salad. For my main, I went with the Adana- grounded lamb spare ribs that came with a side of tomato salad and rice. I just realized it was missing the grilled pepper... oh well. I liked how tender the meat was, but it was salty to me. It went well with the fluffy rice. I didn't care too much for the salad as it was savory. My bf had the Orfoz- pink grouper skewer with Meyhouse Greens. I enjoyed his fish more. The prices are on the high side, so it's not an everyday dinner place. We enjoyed our time overall though.

Underwhelming!We went for a team lunch on a Thursday afternoon and were seated right away. Our server and the service was exemplary but I was so disappointed with the portion sizes, pricing, and overall taste of the food. The Trio Sigara Boregi (had to copy the name from the menu huh) basically phyllo dough roll pastries with fillings - tasted good but was extremely small and not shareable.The $29 Branzino - Mediterranean sea bass with Meyhouse Green Salad was bland and not worth the price. The salad seemed to have been tossed in just olive oil. Definitely expected more. I should have tried the Kabobs or Kofte maybe. While the restaurant had a fun vibe and the service was excellent, the overall experience was like I said underwhelming!

Elegant Lunch Date Spot - Worth the Splurge!Took my girlfriend out for a weekday lunch. While the price is on the higher side, especially for a 3-course menu on a weekday, it's truly worth it. This spot is better suited for special occasions rather than casual lunching.Ambiance: Elegant and sophisticated.Service: Fast and attentive.Complimentary bread is served at the start, and it's delicious!Appreciated the variety of vegetarian and vegan options on the menu, clearly labeled for easy ordering.We ordered:- Enginar (V): Amazing artichoke bottoms! Never thought artichokes could star in a dish so well. Flavorful and addictive - must try!- Mercimekli Imambayildi (VG): Perfectly cooked eggplant, full of flavor. The supporting ingredients paired well, and the lentils added a unique twist.- Damla Sakizli Dondurma: Too sweet for my taste, but my girlfriend enjoyed it.Definitely returning for a special occasion!

I am a giant fan of their Palo Alto location and was excited to try the original location. Perhaps the expectations were too high because it was just OK. I also made the mistake of hyping it too much to everyone in our party. We did the tasting menu and the choices that were served were off. Other than the lamb chops, everything that was served to us seemed to be off the beaten path and not the popular items we were expecting. Eg. lamb liver for the appetizer. The food was also just OK...even the baklava was on the dry side.I am guessing it was just an off night since I know the management is top-notch and cares about the experience they provide. I will just stick to the Palo Alto location going forward.

What a great meal! From the lovely person taking reservations on the phone through the entire dining experience. For appetizers, with had thin sliced beef tongue, sounds scary but it is not at all. So tender and flavorful with the tomato salad that accompanies it. We also had a dish with a mix of shrimps and octopus or squid. That was very good as well. I would order both of these for my entree if the servings were bigger. For our entrees, we ordered the spicy and non spicy beef kebabs. They were both delicious. The meat was grilled to perfection and had a really nice Smokey flavor. The rice that came with it was fluffy and had a very unique savory flavor that I loved. Definitely come and try Meyhouse if you have not yet.

Really liked the appetizers and desserts here. Although entree portion sizes are on the smaller side, they were delish. Would try all the apps bc the yogurt dip is sooo good. Service and free bread also a plus!!

Absolutely spot on! I chose Meyhouse for a team holiday lunch on a recommendation from another co-worker. What an exceptional experience. I truly mean EXCEPTIONAL! So good I fact that I didn't take any food pics because I was to busy devouring all the food! Loved the decor and the open concept. Huge bar that runs the length of the restaurant and I noticed a cute dining area upstairs in a loft like setting. My only issue was the beautiful high ceilings caused the noise level to be pretty high so if you visit in hopes of a quiet romantic setting, this probably isn't it. Service was flawless! I felt like we had 2 if not 3 weight staff taken care of us at all times. One of our guests got up to use the restroom and placed his napkin on the table. The server came right over, folded his napkin and placed it neatly on the back of his chair. That's great service. As for the food ... outstanding! Absolutely everything was not only tasty but presented beautifully. We ordered 4 different appetizers and each one was mouthwatering. Since I didn't order, I'm not sure what each dish I was called. My favorite though was a yogurt topped with eggplant and tomatoes served with this AMAZING bread. I could literally eat that and be happy. We all had different main dishes and desserts and every single one of us walked away saying how excellent everything was. Will I be back? Ten thousand percent!! 10 out of 10 for me!!

Came here without a reservation on a Friday and was seated immediately. Staff are friendly and nice. One of the waiters even curated a playlist of music! We got some drinks and some food off the dinner menu. They served bread and it was really good.I got the Kasap Kofte. It comes with beef patties, rice, tomato salad, and grilled peppers. Food was rich and flavorful. It felt healthy and delicious at the same time.
