The tastes of home are what fuel the owners of the reinvented Creation Social House Mediterranean Restaurant & Bar. Partners Vickram Arroju and Chef Firat Ozay, strive to bring the flavors of the Mediterranean and hometown of Chef Firat in every dish they prepare.
Born in Adana, Turkey, and cooking since he was 10, Chef Firat moved to Istanbul at 14. There he graduated from culinary school and came to the United States in 2012. Chef continued to follow his dreams of cooking and created a dish on the menu, lamb Adana, in honor of his hometown.
At Creation Social House, traditional Turkish brunch is served on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with the menu reflecting the dishes Firat and his family grew up with. Brunch is traditionally accompanied by Turkish tea served in a copper pot; but since I am more of a coffee drinker, I enjoyed a strong, but dainty cup of Turkish coffee.
We also ordered the vegetable omelet filled with a variety of seasonal veggies, and homemade potato pancakes with fresh herbs, cooked to perfection. The presentation of brunch and all the accouterments was as beautiful as is was delicious. My guest and I were served a large cheese plate consisting of feta, special homemade shredded cheese by Chef Firat, tomatoes, cucumbers and crackers. A bowl of Turkish green and black olives in olive oil and herbs was followed by the sweet and irresistible honey and Turkish cream to top warm pita bread. The sweetness continued with a dish of Cilek Receli, similar to strawberry jam, and chocolate Nutella, both to put on top of the pita bread.
At Creation Social House, Chef Firat only uses fresh ingredients and all dishes are made from scratch. "We want our guests enjoy a healthy meal and a taste of everything from spice to sweet. Most of all, we want them to enjoy family time and a taste of home."
Open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, with brunch on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
