nice setting even if the rooftop view was largely of a building site. Best food I have ever heard in Turkey. Good service, though waiter seemed to make a point of not coming back when we weren't ready to order first time he came, superb food, cheap by international, if not Turkish, standards

Even though other travelers have posted about needing a reservation, my husband and I walked in for lunch without a problem. The restaurant wasn't even full and this was at 1 pm! There is a lovely view over the Bosphorus. The terrace wasn't exactly open when we went since it had been raining, but it was nonetheless nice to sit... More

When we arrived we found we were given the best table in the restaurant. The service was wonderful. All the dishes were... More

I went here for lunch. The service was great. The food was average. Good views and great rooftop seating.

This restaurant is owned by the same people who own the Neorion where we stayed. The hotel booked the table and we received a 10% discount. We started with a mere to share which was delicious and followed it with baked lamb, the most delicious lamb I have had for ages. Desserts were also excellent. The restaurant is on the... More

We liked the menu, a good wine list, service and view. It is important to book ahead. Including last year we have eaten here about 6 times
