What/Why:
Howdy Yelpers!

After trying Istanbul out for the first time last week - thanks to your fabulous reviews - I thought it would be a great idea to put together an Unofficial Yelp Event dinner out to Istanbul.

They are a turkish restaurant with to die for calamari among many other delicious treats!  

With 8 reviews averaging 4 stars, you know it's gonna be a YUMMY night out with your fellow Yelpers!

The Yelp link is: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...

Istanbul is open every day of the week except Sunday.

Ive opted to have this dinner out on a Saturday evening because that is the night they have a belly dancer.  Istanbul is a fairly small restaurant with a max capacity of 42.  I spoke with the owner earlier this week and he'd like to have a head count for a reservation by the end of next week.  We can be as small of a group as we'd like but probably no more than 20 because he likes to keep a certain number of tables open for his regulars.

I uploaded a bunch of pics of the food, restaurant, and menu from my last visit there if you'd like to take a peek!  Appetizers start at around $10 and entrees are around $16 and up.  

I can honestly say that I don't remember the last time I had such hospitable service.  

Looking forward to another delicious meal out and a great time getting to know my fellow Yelpers!  Feel free to RSVP with a +1 for your friend or honey bunny... Just be sure to let me know by February 18, 2012 so that I can call in our reservation 2 weeks early.  

The belly dancer is from 730-800pm for inquiring minds who would like to know :-)

Hope to meet some new Yelpers and even if you can't make it out this time, DEFINITELY go another time and check them out!  

Until later,
Kristin Kat

I MIGHT have to drop out - my sister is up that weekend and I'm not sure if she's seeing friends that night or spending it with me (and there's nothing on the menu she'll be able to have). I will let you guys know though!

Hope you can make it Joanna but totally understand if you can't!  & Yes, no broken bones S.J.!

Thank goodness it's next weekend!  We have over a foot and half of snow on the ground here!  Nice of it to fall on the weekend.  Hopefully it gives the city plenty of time to get it all cleared up before the monday morning commute!  
I just talked my Prohibition +1 (gf) date into coming to Istanbul, too!  I've been trying to convince her into yelping!  Looking forward to it!

Hey is it too late for me to say I definitely want to come? If there isn't room at the table I understand. I know it's pretty last minute!

Hey Laurel - we've had two people who can't make it!  You can totally come and bring a friend/date if you want, too!

And if anyone else wants to come... the owner is super nice and said we'd still have some wiggle room to add a few people.  He just needed a head count to know how many of his tables we'd be taking up - I think his restaurant has a max seating capacity of 42 and he wanted to be sure to have a certain number of tables available for his regular weekend customers.  When I went on the weekend it was full at this time and was a great experience!
