We went again for Valentine's day and the meal was amazing- one of the best we have had anywhere. I wouldn't trust many chefs to serve a prix fixe with no choices, but Alex, the chef, outdid himself and has won my trust. The five courses included wonderful 30 day aged steak, scallops, and a salad with grilled brussel sprouts we both craved for after. The desert with tapioca semifreddo served with roasted pineapple and meringue is one which I will never forget!
My Quest
This blog is the tale of my quest for home-made, low-salt, traditional, rustic and innovative cuisine. Special attention is given to restaurants and food suppliers in special locations, such as locally owned farms, farmer's markets, walkable people places, water view properties and to properties of notable architectural merit. Restaurants and inns are considered in light of sustainability efforts as well, and noted with a green apple for special efforts to conserve and sustain.

Turkish Meze
www.turkishmeze.com
Mamaroneck NY
This casual restaurant is child friendly and offers a wonderful selection of carefully prepared meals. The grilled octopus was my favorite of the evening and the Doner, served tradionally over rice and salad, was a generous portion of tender lamb.
The service was friendly with the exception of a waitress who seemed to rush us to order, especially as I tried to find a Turkish wine by the glass, but her suggestion turned out well. It was a red Turkish table wine similar to a Pinot Noir.
The grilled kebab dishes look wonderful and I saw a whole fish being served which also looked great. Definitely a place for more visits, Turkish Meze is listed as #1 of Tripadvisor for Mamaroneck.
