Mandolin Aegean Bistro

A Design District restaurant running Aegean cooking drawing on Greek and Turkish traditions — chef Ahmet Erkaya brings home-style Eastern Mediterranean cooking (mezedes, grilled fish, slow-cooked lamb) to a courtyard-driven room with serious garden atmosphere. Michelin Bib Gourmand. The room is genuinely transporting; the cooking is unpretentious but precise. For Aegean cooking in a setting that feels closer to a Greek island than to Miami.
