Efes

What most people think of as Greek and Middle Eastern food actually has its roots in Turkey, from which the cuisines spread with the expansion of the Ottoman Empire. But through its intimate decor and expansive menu, Efes Mediterranean Grill ties it all together. The lush dining room features authentic Turkish décor, with burgundy velvet drapes, shining silver and copper, and kilim-style fabrics. The small round tables, bench seating and dim lighting create an intimate mood that's perfect for date night. The belly dancer and live Turkish music on weekend nights is sure to help get your romantic juices flowing. The menu features Mediterranean staples like gyros, souvlaki, hummus, tabouli and shish kabobs, with a broad variety of vegetarian choices that include veggie couscous and eggplant kabobs. There are also several seafood selections to choose from.
