The Mediterranean food at Istanblue goes far beyond your typical plates of hummus and grape leaves. Taking its cues from Turkey, the restaurant compiles a heaping list of appetizers and dinner entrees evocative of the country's culinary roots. Plates of karniyarik show off servings of meat-stuffed eggplant and the iskender is the restaurant's own take on beef-and-lamb gyros with both red and hot-butter sauce. It's hard to go wrong by sampling a bunch of cold and hot appetizers too, which are ideal for sharing around the table. The helpings here are generous, and so is the space: the airy dining rooms give everyone plenty of room to stretch into their favorite yoga pose.
