Our lively waiter, Remzi gave us a background on all the fish, helped us choose the perfect preparation and fish so that we could try something we hadn't eaten before. We went with the John Dory, fried (lightly) and served with an amazing butter, soy and garlic sauce that was an amazing addition. Their dolmas reminded me of my grandmother, and the vintage Sauvignon Blanc was a perfect pairing for the meal. We even had a few guest appearances from the kittens.

They were able to answer our questions about the menu. The eggplant appetizers which were tasty. We had the blue fish, which our tour guide had recommended earlier that day. It was a good choice for a tasty white fish. We requested the fig dessert but the fruit was already out of season. We opted for the dried apricot version, which I enjoyed though my partner found it too sweet.

We were looking for fish, Turkish style, and found this restaurant…read more Because we wanted to try a mixture of fish, we went with the seafood platter for 2. Some fresh fish catches including sea bass and a couple of frozen fish like tuna and salmon were on the dish. Add in the calamari and pawns, and we got what we were looking for. The restaurant has a chill vibe and we enjoyed looking out the window to people watch. It is conveniently located near the tourist sites so that is a plus. Wait staff were friendly and service was good. Worth the try and you can expect to pay about $100 US before drinks.

We sat one night next to a Dutch family that had a similar travel rule to us, never repeat a restaurant because it's important to maximize variety and experience on a trip. They decided the meal was so good they would return and so did we. They don't have a door bully roping unwary tourists in, and there is a definite inverse relationship between the quality of the food and how loud and forceful the door monsters are. The food here, especially the fish dishes, are superb.

Host was super nice greeting us and told us to 'go up to the 5th floor for same price'. Say less. And what a view it was!! Instant happiness in my book. We waited an uncomfortably long time for our server and begin to doubt our choices. He definitely didn't have the same charm as the Host, but we stayed. The table that was next to the window left and our server offered for us to move over to the better view. Redemption for you, Sir! Then the food began. Ordered Calamari for the table to share. It was cooked to perfection. In fact, it stole the show. So good! My linguine was a comforting experience, a bit on the bland side, but tends to be how things are served here. I did sample some other plates of those dining with me and each one was perfecto in taste. The Fish Meatballs (fish cakes) were similar to something my grandmother made years ago. Happy memory. Paid our check and was offered a complimentary tea or coffee. We chose the tea. A little bitter for all of our liking, but not dinging them for that. Then the waiter served us a complimentary dessert. Amazing! The act and the taste. I thought it tasted similar to Cream of Wheat with a cinnamon, butter note, warmed up and served with ice cream underneath. Wow! What a great way to end the night. Overall, highly recommend. Very satisfied.

It's a 4.9 out of 5. Will come again when I visit istanbul!

The charge was completely unreasonable and nowhere near the actual value of the drink. I strongly believe this place targets tourists and overcharges them. Before ordering anything here, make sure you know the exact price in writing. I do not recommend this place and will never return. Stay away and spend your money elsewhere.
