Crossing the Bosphorus is a great way to start a nice date night or any event really. Once there the restaurant has a lovely view. You must make reservations beforehand as it gets very busy especially on Fridays an weekends. We were first seated at a bad table despite making clear during the reservation that it was a special occasion. We had to wait until a better table opened up. The food is delicious and well prepared. The service is as professional and as pleasant as it gets, not to mention fast. We had a selection of cold entrées (borulce, tomato salad, aubergine and a few other things that I don't exactly remember) all of the cold entrées werevery good. We then moved to hot entrées: shrimp with butter and garlic, and octopus. I especially recommend the octopus. Eventually we were so full that we skipped mains and ordered dessert. I can never resist a chocolate soufflée and if you like them as much as I do, here is a good place to eat them. We payed 380 Liras for all the food mentioned above plus 2 glasses of raki. I recommend this place to anyone wanting to try a nice fish restaurant in Istanbul.
