We are split on Middle Eastern/Mediterranean/Greek/Turkish dining. One of us is a big fan of virtually any place that is not a greasy spoon, while one of us can barely eat another stuffed grape leaf for the rest of our life.

Pera, the stylish Mediterranean featuring Turkish influenced cuisine near Grand Central Station is a recent favorite of both of us. The clean modern design of this large restaurant gives the dinner a Manhattan adult dining experience. The menu while dominated by Mediterranean influences dishes, does offer a few options to satisfy those who want alternatives.

Service is good, but not nearly as professional as one would expect at a place with high end prices.

The wine list disappoints and is not commensurate with fine dining and needs attention immediately,
