Restaurant with Michelin stars, with great view on Bosporous. Very busy place, parking with 300 TL in front of the restaurant. Food is OK but expect much more. Service is professional and for sure the price is sky high. Nice place to eat fish if you can afford it.

We ordered Blue Fish and Sea Bass Fish dishes. Also, we ordered One Salad and Two Bottles of Water. Simple as that. Location is amazing. Staff is helpful and friendly. Prices are too high for those two dishes. Meaningfully, the price has to be something near 1200TL. However, we paid more than 2700TL. Also, the waiter said that we have to leave at 5:00pm because there is a reservation at this time, and we have to stay almost one hour and half an hour only. Finally, for me, it deserves a try when the prices are a bit meaningful.

Trading on location alone - I came here with someone who had visited before however it did not live up to expectations or previous experiences - the food was nice but not what I would expect to be of Michelin recommended quality but what spoiled things was the service. We sat for far too long between starter and mains and then waited for forever for someone to offer us dessert or coffee - all whilst watching all the other tables around us being treated with attentive service instead. After asking for the bill and pointing out we had not been offered anything we were then presented with coffee and baklava but by then it was too late - our taxi was booked and we had had enough - an evening spoiled by lack of attention that could so easily have been avoided. Will not return - spend your money at ulus29 instead - you cannot go wrong.

The dishes are small and not tasty, while the prices are too high. But the staff is the most awful thing. The personnel adds to the bill what you did not order, lie and are rude. I’m deeply disappointed and recommend not to go here. I also advise Michel to take back its recommendation as it damages reputation.
