Bodrum Mezze & Cocktails — Restaurant in Dublin

🌊 Bodrum Vibes in California 💙🤍

Having lived in Bodrum for 2 years, this restaurant instantly brought me back to the seaside charm 🌊. The kavak trees by the shore, the salty breeze, and the fresh fruits & seafood all came to mind. From the moment you walk in, the blue tones and Mediterranean décor make you feel as if you’ve stepped right onto Bodrum’s waterfront. The food is outstanding: fresh mezze, flavorful seafood, and our favorites, the lobster pasta 🦞🍝 and the crispy zucchini & eggplant 🥒🍆, were cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. ✨ What makes this place special is how it goes beyond Turkish cuisine, blending Bodrum’s essence with Greek, Italian, and broader Mediterranean cultures to create a truly authentic yet vibrant dining experience. With warm hospitality, a cozy atmosphere, and unforgettable dishes, this is without a doubt one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in California 🌿🍷. I sincerely hope they expand with a second and third location, so more people can enjoy...

We visited this charming establishment for the first time to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, and it truly exceeded our expectations. My husband, daughter, and I ordered a variety of dishes to sample the menu, and every single item was absolutely delicious. From Mezzes to desserts, the fish melted in your mouth and was cooked to perfection- nothing disappointed us. Each bite of every item we ordered was full of flavor and clearly prepared with care.

The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and welcoming, and the staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It’s rare to find a place that delivers both authentic flavor and warm hospitality so effortlessly.

I have traveled multiple regions in Turkey and Greece, and if you're looking for authentic Turkish cuisine with Aegean influences, this gem is a must-try. We’ll definitely be coming back!...

I moved to the area at the start of the year and watched this place being built. I was so excited when this place was opening as its walking distance from home. It was so good, warm and you could tell everything was made with care.

The Pastrami Spring Rolls were so unexpected and yet so good. My husband had the Kavurma (form of deconstructed beef kebabs) snd I had the Chicken Shashlik (deconstructed chicken kebabs). The chicken was so good and tender that it just cut so easily. Also, I loved that they knew their food was so balanced, there was no need for salt and pepper shakers on the table. I asked about takeout and for now, you can call it in, but they are working on an online ordering system.

For the entire meal (one beer, one wine, one appetizer, two entrees and one dessert) with tip it was about $120. I am so happy this place opened and look forward to being a...
