"TV has Cheers reruns and the Richmond has Lokma. The Turkish spot is the destination for meet-ups and long meals. The den-like space with brick walls and window sills full of found glass, bird feeders, and plants in mismatched pots has a lot to do with it. Adding to the charm is a long list of mostly Mediterranean wines, and a stay-awhile-friendly service. We like dropping in for a glass, offloading our thoughts to a friend, and filling up on tomato-heavy manti, hearty karniyarik, and calamari—or coming by on a Sunday for their fantastic brunch." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
