Yummy bread, olives and
Turkish Cabernet Sauvignon make for memorable Modern Art Museum dining. It seems that art museums have really stepped up their game on the last 20 years. When I was in college the museum cafes usually had a few unpalatable, over-priced sandwiches. Now you get an erotic flower on your table.
The only drawback is that service was poor, which gave it a European feel. It seemed like the waiters were not confident to speak to the customers, and even the managers (two guys wearing suits) were oblivious to people walking in the door waiting to be seated. Some potential diners walked out after several minutes of being ignored. Too bad for them, they didn't get to try the spaghetti Nero! A tip: if you just barge in and seat yourself, someone will bring you some food eventually, and it will likely be good food. But then the inexperienced waiter will mess up your bill.
But hey, the view from the veranda overlooks the Bosphorus and on the shore beyond is Topkapi Palace. Not bad.
